Unique motorcycle out of thousands of bones

Speaking of creativity, perhaps the works made by an American artist deserves two thumbs up. He was able to realize his 'crazy' imagination to made a unique motorcycle that was created from a series of animal bones.

As quoted from Autoevolution, Moore began to make creations like that after a successful build an eight-legged T-Rex for children in 1995 ago. Then the creations were sold to a bar in the Daytona area.

To the owner of the bar he joked would make a motorcycle out of bones for Bike Week event. But recently, Moore was challenged after the bar owner said that he would not be able to make a motorcycle from the bones.

He says that making a bone bike usually needs “three to four cow skulls, two to three alligator skulls, goat, wolf, raccoon, turtle, and pig bones. And two cow’s backs for the wheels.”. A work which is quite difficult to collect the ingredients.

Reese Moore not only makes these motorcycle just for decoration, but also intends to sell it to anyone who wants his motorcycle creations named 'Cowasaki'. Reportedly, the 65-year-old Florida man was intended to sell the bike at a price of US. $55 thousand, or equivalent to Rp.730,45 millions. This motorcycle itself ready for sale at Dunn's Attic & Auction House in Ormond Beach.
Having successfully made the Cowasaki, Reese plans to build a flying dinosaur for Ripley's Believe It or Not museum. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | AUTOEVOLUTION]

Dubai-made Batman Tumbler will be sold

The presence of the latest Batmobile in Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice, seems to make the old model no longer cool. In Dubai, a replica of Tumbler (a Batmobile in the Dark Knight Triology movie) owner, said that he wants to sell his car because wants to build the replica of new models.
Because obsessed to makes the replica of this new Batmobile, the owner of replica of Batmobile in Dubai want to sell his Tumbler about US. $1 million. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/1IEMZo2)
As quoted of the Arabianbusiness.com, a replica of the Tumbler in Dubai that made as closely as possible with the original version. It uses two big tires size of 44 inches in the rear, while in front of 18.5 inches. These Arabian Batman car also uses the Gullwing door-type like the Mercedes-Benz SLS and had a lot of cameras that help its driver see the blind spot.

Yamaha created a robot can ride a motorcycle at high speed

Now it has a lot of robots that can perform a variety of jobs that humans do. One of them is the design of Yamaha's latest robot, where the robot that they created have been able to ride a motorcycle at high speed.

The robot has been introduced by Yamaha at the Tokyo Motor Show 2015 Yamaha call this robot with the name 'Motobot,' and he was able to handle some of the fastest motorcycles that are currently available today. And in the exhibition that the robot was seen riding a Yamaha YZF-R1M.

And forwards this robot can be used to make the pursuit of criminals at high speed, so as to reduce the risk to law enforcement officers. Moreover this robot can also be used to patrol the streets, and be able to strengthen the police in an area.

Humanoid robot motorcycle riders are currently still being developed. And Yamaha plans to make this robot can ride a motorcycle that has not been modified at speeds over 200 km/h on the racecourse. Yamaha says further that Motobot adopting the driving style of the MotoGP World Champion, Valentino Rossi.
Controlling a motorcycle at high speeds require multiple control systems with a very high degree of accuracy. Yamaha said that they would apply the fundamental technology and the knowledge gained from this project to improve the safety of the rider and the rider-building systems that better support. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | GIZMAG]

Scientists found the alcohol producer comet

If there were a special spacecraft, thousands of liters of wine can be transported on Lovejoy comet to Earth. The space researchers found that comet Lovejoy produce the ethyl alcohol-a type of alcohol that is the same as that contained in the liquor. The findings of this alcohol is the first time in a comet.
This is a picture of the comet C/2014 Q2 (Lovejoy) on 22 Feb. 2015. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/1i7Dhib)
These findings add to a row of evidence that comets sometimes a source of complex organic molecules necessary to become the raw material of life.

Nicolas Biver of the Paris Observatory, France, and also the lead author of a study published in the Science Advances journal, saying, "We found that the comet Lovejoy spread much alcohol at least 500 bottles of wine every second during its peak activity."

NDTV reported in the October 25, 2015, the team also found 21 different organic molecules in the form of gas emanating from the comet, including ethyl alcohol and glikoaldehid-a form of simple sugars.

Comets are frozen dregs of the formation of our solar system. Scientists interested in it because it could be said the comet is still pure and therefore have a clue about how the solar system was formed.

Most comets do orbit away from the Sun. However, sometimes there is interference caused by the force of gravity closer to the comet toward the Sun. When closer to the Sun, the comet becomes hotter and release various types of gas. Thus, scientists can determine the composition of the material in the comet.

Comet Lovejoy was officially registered as C/2014 Q2 and is one of the brightest and most active after the comet Hale-Bopp (1997). Comet Lovejoy passes closest to the Sun on January, 30 while releasing water at a rate of 20 tons per second. The team observed the comet's atmosphere when it is in a state of the brightest and most active.

They observed the glow of microwaves coming from the comet and monitored by radio teleksop diameter of 30 meters at Pico Veleta in the Sierra Nevada mountains in Spain.

The latest equipment is able to perform an analysis of a wider range of frequencies simultaneously, so that the team can determine the type and number of different molecules in the comet in just a short observation. Some researchers speculate that the comet collision on primordial earth bring supply organic molecules that might have helped the origin of life.

Findings with complex organic molecules in comet Lovejoy and a number of others to give support to this allegation. Stefanie Millam of the Goddard Space Flight Center of NASA and co-author of the paper said, "This result strongly supports the idea that comets have very complex chemistry. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | SCIENCEDAILY]
