Motorcycle with conventional fuels always synonymous with exhaust emissions and noise which is often becoming a contributor to air and noise pollutions. No matter how fast and sophisticated the motorcycle is, it will be left and added more pollutants that is not good for the environment.
That makes a Modena-based company Energica Motors, a sustainable subsidiary of CRP Group and also company engaged in the superbike innovation have an alternative in the form of a powerful superbike class engine, but utilizing the electric power for the engine configuration.
The technology is referred as 'Energica Ego superbike'. For two years, or roughly three last year, the company always delayed to launching Energica to the market. To this day, finally a glimmer of hope appeared that it can be ordered to be bought soon.
According to reports compiled by Autoevolution on Wednesday, August 5, 2015, Energica seems to be marketed as soon as possible, after it was cleared inspections from National Highway Traffic Safety Association (NHTSA) and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). So it has been classified as the "street legal" superbike for the automotive market in US.
Energica has an electrically-powered engine of 100 kw or equal to 136 hp. The overall power capable of instantly ejected from the rotation of 4,900 rpm to 10,500 rpm. Whereas for peak torque of 195 Nm can be achieved since in the rest position at 0 rpm then rose to 4,700 rpm.
Energica only took 3 seconds to accelerate from zero to 100 km/h. Its top speed was enough to make our heart beat faster as the figures exceeded of 241 km/h. Nor does itsay howthe priceofan electricsuperbikeisiflaterofficially producedandmarketed.
Kept spur your adrenaline on the power of the two-wheeled monster and
stay alive with true safety riding. May God will forgive Your sins and
so does the cops...... *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | ENERGICA | AUTOEVOLUTION]
The widest in the world aircraft that projected to be aired and tested in the 2016's. The aircraft named 'Stratolaunch' was built by the founder of Microsoft, Paul Allen, since 2011. As quoted from Engadget on Tuesday, August 4, 2015, the aircraft is currently under construction at the final stage in the Mojave Air and Space Port in California.

The aircraft designed by the company Stratolaunch Systems is not intended to break the world record, but the main purpose is to launch a satellite rocket from the air.The satellite carrier rocket will be picked up by Stratolaunch up to a certain height before being released and slid alone into space.

By launching a satellite carrier rocket in the air, Stratolaunch Systems claims to be savings and fuel, as rockets do not need to launched from the land. The same aircraft also can be used again for the next launch mission.
In addition, the launch rocket also will not be hampered by the weather because the aircraft could launch a rocket from any location as desired. However, the weight of rockets and satellites that can be carried by Stratolaunch be limited, following the design of the maximum carrying capacity of the aircraft.

The Staratolaunch design company, Scaled Composites which makes this plane by using the basic design of the two units of Boeing 747. The shape and design of Stratolaunch resembles the design of Virgin Galactic plane belonging to a wealthy businessman Richard Bransonn, the two airframe (fuselage), which integrates with wings.
The difference, if Virgin Galactic carrying space shuttle between its fuselage, then Stratolaunch carrying a satellite launcher rocket.
The Stratolaunch's wingspan (distance between the two ends of the wings) will reach 385 feet, or the equivalent of 117 meters. The wing span of 37 meters will be wider than the wingspan of the Airbus A380, the largest commercial transport aircraft today.
Because it was so great, then Stratolaunch require a runway longer than commercial aircraft in general to take off. If the aircraft along the runway generally require two to three kilometers for takeoff, then Stratolaunch along the runway took 3.5 to 4 kilometers.
Allen and his team hope the launch of rockets from the air will be common in the future, and open the door for space travel. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | ENGADGET]
A company in Ireland is developing an electric-powered car with futuristic design, named 'Alex e-roadster'. The
car with two seats is the result of the design of Tom Finnegan, an
expert who works with Swift Composite Prototypes Ltd. The company will
also realize the products of futuristic electric vehicle into the
production stage at their premises in Dunleer, Co. Louth, Ireland.

They
claimed the vehicle's weights well below the conventional vehicles that
exist today, thanks to the use of carbon fiber and other materials.
"This car will be
made of very light materials, a mixture of carbon fiber material
(normally used in the Formula-1 technology) and Kevlar (used in
bulletproof vests and glass). Its weight will be lighter 30 percent
compared with the same sized car, yet more powerful and safe," the
company said in a statement, as quoted from Autoevolution.
Its battery capacity
so as to deliver a car to roam up to 250 kilometers for one single
charges. The car's acceleration from 0 to 100 kph can be done no more
than 10 seconds. In addition, this car also uses the fast battery
charging technology.

In
terms of design, this car also uses a canopy doors type such as applied
on the jet fighters. While on its roof is also installed the solar
panels as an energy booster for cars. In the interior, there is a tablet in
the dashboard which can be taken by the user when the car is parked.
That way, the user can communicate with this vehicle. The plan, the car
will be launched next year, but has yet to say how much it costs. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | ALEX EROADSTER | AUTOEVOLUTION]
One of renowned Japanese automotive manufacturers, Toyota is preparing the second generation of their sports model, 86. Interestingly, the sports car will use the Kinetic Energy Recovery System (KERS) technology that is commonly found in the Formula 1 racing cars.
The Second-generation of 86 will be based on the latest MX-5 platform. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/1ePeQEJ)
As quoted of Worldcarfans on Monday, August 3, 2015, the reason for using the KERS technology because Toyota wants a high-performance sports car, but still fuel saving. In addition, the second generation of Toyota 86 will be sold at an affordable price.

The plan, the 86 used a turbocharger 1.5-liter engine, and is claimed to be capable of producing the power up to 187 hp. The figures shows its power was far greater than the engine of Mazda MX-5, ie a 1,500 cc SKYACTIV is only empowered 128.7 hp.
In the second generation of 86, Toyota is no longer cooperating with Subaru as a partner in this model development. And Subaru position now replaced by Mazda which has the model of MX-5 roadster or Miata.
Another advantage gained by Toyota from the cooperation was not only related to the suspension and chassis are made by Mazda. But Toyota promised the two-door sports car will have a new engine with maximum power.
Currently, the 86 is still in the development stage, the production process is also mentioned still in a long time. Toyota will produce the 2nd generation of Toyota 86 in 2020 for around 2.5 million yen. While the concept model will be introduced in 2017. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | WORLDCARFANS]
In making food, building, electronic equipment, cars, or other objects, it takes time and energy in large quantities. Robot's industries often creates a robot that is able to help them, to replace the role of workers labor for the project with funding that is not small.
But during the same, rarely robots created to work outdoors in a much larger scale: like putting a brick in the construction of houses or buildings. And now, a number of companies and scientists from the university is developing a robot that can sort of concrete beams in the building project.
The Hadrian robot can lay up to 1,000 bricks per hour. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/1JDkhBD)
Perth-based company named Fastbrick Robotics, create a robot that can make up 1,000 bricks in just one hour named 'Hadrian' (after Hadrian's Wall in the UK).
Hadrian is expected to go into action next year. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/1JDkhBD)
At the heart of Hadrian is a 28 m (92 ft) articulated telescopic boom. Though mounted on an excavator in the photo below, the finished version will sit on a truck, allowing it easier movement from place to place. The robot brick-layer uses information fed from a 3D CAD representation of the home for brick placement, with mortar or adhesive delivered under pressure to the head of the boom.
The robotic arm will eventually sit on a truck and The boom is auto-corrected 1,000 times per second. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/1JDkhBD)
Not only Fastbrick Robotic, ETH Zurich, the Swiss National Science Foundation (through the National Centres of Competence in Research) also creates an autonomous construction robot named 'In-situ Fabricator'. It’s an industrial arm on a mobile base that can lay bricks, but the difference between this system and the one from last week is that the In-situ Fabricator is designed to be completely self-contained, without requiring any external localization systems.
The robot is equipped with an arm that can put a heavy building material. The robot can also build a 3D map of the area of construction using its laser scanner. Let's see video below.
ETH Zurich also working at the program of robots making such as 'Robotic aggregations of materials with unpredictable geometry,' which is developing a system that can build things out of rubble. Obviously, this innovation will make it easier and certainly accelerate the development of high-rise buildings in the future.. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | GIZMAG | IEEE SPECTRUM]
