Technological developments and the current era also demands many vehicle manufacturers play the brain to produce new innovations. As did by Antro, a non-profit group that creates a lightweight folding electric scooters.
The world's population growth is now also increasingly followed by growth in the number of vehicle production. So with this impacts the density of traffic and difficult parking area.
But with the presence of a folding electric scooter named 'Moveo' where the parking space that often become obstacles can be solved. Moveo has a weight of 25 kg, so that could be the lightest scooters ever made.
The light weight is due to its body using carbon fiber materials. Then the performance is supported by agymotoros electric drive incorporates by pedal generator that can be used for charging if the battery power runs out.
The maximum speed the folding electric scooter is 45 km/h (limited) with a maximum cruising range is 35 km. For the batteries could be used to use with a mileage of 35,000 km and only takes one hour to fully recharge the battery.
Antro producing folding scooter is also to support the eco-friendly transportation program. Within a year Antro is capable of producing 4,000 units of Moveo and still has the potential to produce up to 15,000 units/year. If interested, you should set up funds of about US. $3,600 - $4,600 or approximately Rp.34.9 million - Rp.44.6 million and excluding taxes and shipping costs. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | MOVEO]
One of the challenges in the development of the computing world is the creation of large-capacity storage media and can last long.
To answer that challenge, researchers from the University of Southampton has recently managed to create a new storage medium that is otherwise capable of storing up to 360 TB and can last up to 13.8 billion years old.
The new technology of storage media called '5D' developed by University of Southampton, can accommodate as many as 360 TB of data. (Picture from: http://adf.ly/1XCLeZ)
It is a technology called '5D' and uses nanostructured glass as a medium. Interestingly, to obtain a capacity of 360 TB, scientists only need a nanostructured glass and has a size of a coin.
The storage media is also said to be very tough. It can withstand the heat of the flame to a temperature of 1,000 degrees Celsius and freezing conditions up to minus 190 degrees celsius.
The technique used involves a laser with a very high degree of precision, ie to a count of femtoseconds, or 1/1,000 trillion second intervals. The file is stored is written in three layers of blocks spaced 5 microns or 0.005 mm.
So far, some important documents had been 'immortalized' in a new storage media, namely the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Magna Carta, and the King James Bible. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | ]
Pagani announced, they will demonstrate an extreme version of the Huayra is called 'Pagani Huayra BC'. Still curious about the BC in its name? According to Autoevolution, B and C are the initials of Benny Caiola, the first Pagani Automobili customer ever. So Italian, right?
The Italian famous supercar manufacturer some time ago already showed a teaser image that displays a coupe with a more aggressive body kit. Larger wings is present in the rear, as well as a large air diffuser, and a deeper side skirts.

Estimated that the Pagani Huayra BC will retain uses the AMG engine, ie a V12 engine with 6.0-liter capacity is estimated to be capable of spraying the power up to 789 hp with 811 lb-ft of torque which is also helped by the presence of a twin-turbocharged to the rear wheels via Le Mans-inspired tripod drive shafts and a 7-speed Xtrac automated manual gearbox with its synchronizers made from carbon fiberWith. Such power, the sports car can reach speeds of 96 km/h in just 3.3 seconds before reaching its top speed of 370 km/h.
Engineers managed to cast off 132 kilograms, which means that the BC has a curb weight of 1,218 kilograms. Despite the diet, Pagani didn’t make the interior an uncomfortable place to be in. Many of those who predict if the Pagani Huayra BC will conduct its first debut in this March 2016 at the Geneva Motor Show 2016.
Of course the price of this supercar will be very expensive. In fact there are news saying that the Pagani Huayra BC produced only 20 units will be priced at US. $2.7 million or approximately Rp.37 billion. That price is more expensive than the estimated price of the Bugatti Chiron which reached US. $2.2 million. Sadly, you can’t have one because all of them have been sold.*** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | AUTOEVOLUTION]
This current era of wearable devices has started, Google has created an innovative product with smart glasses which we call the Google Glass. While Apple has now also set up a smart watches named Apple Watch. Other companies are also not to be outdone, such as Samsung, Sony, LG and Motorola are currently each have to present their smartwatch products.

In addition to glasses and smart watches, some manufacturers also have to bring the smart bracelet or what we call a smart bracelet, another variant of the wearable device is widely used for those who actively exercise. So what functions and advantages of this Cicret smart bracelet?
Compared to glasses and watches which do have a specific function, the smart bracelets only serves as a sensor sender information to a smartphone, this smart bracelet device will read the activity of users, and next the smart bracelet will be able to send your heart rate or the number of steps and read the calories users to the smartphone. Various information can be viewed through the smartphone screen.
The Cicret Bracelet will be available on 10 different colors. (Picture from: http://adf.ly/1X9HzV)
But unlike the Cicret's smart bracelet, because the smart bracelet has a mini projector module in it. The Cicret Bracelet able to re-display the smartphone screen of the mini projector module to the surface of its user skin.
The Cicret Bracelet which is still in prototype form, it does look attractive, in addition to providing a futuristic touch, the device has other functions than just the notification transmitter.
This bracelet is able to display all the content available on the smartphone screen and show it on the skin surface of the hands of users. As of this writing, the Cicret Bracelet developer still require funding of about €700,000 to complete this project to get into the final stage.

Forward the family hierarchy that had been dug up and steadily become Segoni Special identity, they retain a characteristic single-beam frame and monocoque body.
Special layer of skin hard wrapped with carbon fiber and LED headlights, the seat itself and mirrors sewn from Motogadget.The idea of the overall design, originally came from the interference De Benedetti & Fjords are changing the basic concept of Kawasaki Z800 into a café racer. But talk about engines, they still rely on stock-engine in the form of water-cooled 4-cylinder engine.

Total power that can be sprayed reaches 113 hp at 10,200 rpm and a maximum torque of 83 Nm at 8,000 rpm. The machine has also served equipment by Magneti Marelli ECU STR-E and blend color LCD speedometer MM integrated with Ethernet, wireless and bluetooth.
The total weight of the motorcycle reached 170 lbs or 77 kg with a wheelbase of just 1,360 mm. Fuel capacity that can be accommodated in the tank sufficient for 12 liters. Segoni Special Kawasaki Z800 has appeared in the prestigious event of EICMA Show 2015 ago. In addition, as reported by Moto.it some time ago, this bike will be produced in Italy only and in limited quantities. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | SEGONI SPECIAL | CAFERACERCULT.GR]
Let us looked the past ..! Honda is experienced in build the motorcycles with six cylinder engine. For example, the CBX1000 become the first Honda motorcycle used a 6-cylinder engine, but try to notice the Honda RC166 250cc racing motorcycle. Apparently, this impressive figure motorcycle is ever won the Grand-Prix in 1966 and 1967 and Mike Hailwood as the racer.
Not as it seems as the motorcycle with a small capacity engine, the RC166 is the result of extraordinary design. With the usual machine form in its time, actually was very wild, its peak rotation approaching 20,000 rpm. A fact that is difficult to beat currently.
The motorcycle equipped with a 7-speed transmission system, and made it easy to reach speeds of 240 km/h, while its top speed can exceed that number.While the peak power is 65 hp, which is usually achieved by engine capacity of 3 times greater than this machine.
Yet when it was designed in the early 1960s, at which time the CAD and computer modeling does not exist. All done with the tools, technologies and processes, including primitive today. But the result, difficult to surpass by the products and technology of today already rely on the robots, laser or machine controlled by a computer.
After winning the 1966 250 and 350cc world championships on Honda sixes, Hailwood took both titles again in ’67, and finished second to arch-rival Giacomo Agostini and his MV Agusta in the 500cc class. (Picture from: http://adf.ly/1X2iCw)
Indeed, it is difficult to compare it with today racing motorcycle, a quarter liter engine will apparently be funny if it had to compete with modern Moto3 engine driven by Valentino Rossi, Jorge Lorenzo or Marc Marquez. Unfortunately, RC166 has a weakness ie its brake systems like an old-fashioned motorcycle. But all that could be covered by its engine performance is very biting on the track. Time has proved. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | MOTORCYCLIST]
