Here it is the figure of Red Bull Racing and Aston Martin hypercar

Are you remember with our previous article about this hypercar some time ago (jump to the article). And now Red Bull Racing and Aston Martin have released the first image of the latest hypercar named AM-RB 001, which was inspired from the Formula-1 racing car. As in the F1, these latest hypercar also use the carbon fiber materials.

As reported on the Telegraph, this hypercar has a radical middle naturally-aspirated V12 engine. This machine was designed by the legendary F1 designer Adrian Newey, along with Marek Reichman and David King of the Aston Martin.

"I insist that these AM-RB 001 should be a real street cars (like the cars in general) which also have extreme performance on the race track. This means that the car must have two characters at once," said Newey.

According to him, the two characters that is characteristic of this vehicle. When used on the highway, the car is claimed to tame and comfortable. But if required in high speed, then the potential energy will be so pronounced.

While the principal of Red Bull Racing team, Christian Horner said that they are always trying to develop advanced cars. "And the AM-RB 001 is the inspiring product of this collaboration spirit," he added.
This AM-RB 001 hypercar is roughly representing the cutting-edge technology of F1, but with the characteristic design of Aston Martin sports car. It also said, this AM-RB 001 will be produced with a limited number. Between 99 to 150 units to be sold to the public, and 25 units specifically for the race. The car sales will begin to do in the next two years or 2018. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | TELEGRAPH]

How the whale dung allow Humans eat fish forever?

Ocean is not just a place to stay but also a toilet. A study published in the PLoS Biology journal in August 2011 revealed that about 2.2 million species, from microscopic zooplankton to one-ton creatures, living and defecating in the ocean. Among the many types of animals, whales are most abundant species to produce "garbage".

A study released in the Canadian Journal of Zoology reveals, Sei whales which can reach a length of 18 meters and weighs 45 tons to produce 627 liters of urine a day, the equivalent of 166 gallons of drinking water. Meanwhile, Fin whales along the 26 meters and weight of 72,575 kilograms of producing 974 liters or 257 gallons of urine per day. Total the sea feces has never been measured but dengam easily found at the sea surfaces. The feces of the largest mammals on Earth that has a distinctive color and a pungent odor.

Although it is a metabolic waste, urine and feces of whales useful, and makes human beings can still eat fish. Urine provide nitrogen to the environment. While feces in addition to providing nitrogen also supplies the oceans with phosphorus and iron.

Phytoplankton, a tiny sea creatures that have functions such as a tree, using the nutrients from whale waste to grow. With the nutrients, phytoplankton are able to perform photosynthesis, providing oxygen for other marine creatures, and reproduce.

Phytoplankton growth due to the dirt of whales allows marine ecosystems remain balanced. Zooplankton eat phytoplankton. Zooplankton then eaten by other bigger creatures. Thus the food chain in the oceans work.

Joe Roman, a biologist from the University of Vermont, said that the whale is "ecosystem engineers". Several species of whales prey on creatures that live in the deep sea and throw the waste of the digestive on the surface of the ocean. Whale shows the connection between deep sea creatures and surface that will not be possible to meet each other.

Today, whales are the animals that face many threats. Scientists predicted, caused a decline in whale populations would be disastrous for the organisms that depend on the waste of whales. If left unchecked, the fish stocks as a source of protein for humans in danger. Humans may be difficult to eat fish.

"Research shows that more and more whales, the population of the fish population will also increase. This is because the pope to release nutrients that sustain the life of the fish," said Ramon as quoted by LiveScience, June 25, 2016. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | LIVESCIENCE]

Although it comes with a little changes compared with the previous models, Honda Montesa specialized in providing the the replica race models for their competition whiz and wore the Repsol Honda Team livery. Both new models have introduced to the public directly on July 2 to 3, in the 2 Dies de Trial d’Encamp competition, in Andorra, Spain.

The Toyota's flying car soon be airs?

No doubt, Toyota is currently regarded as the most popular car manufacturers. The various products were born and has always received great applause from the consumers. And, pretty soon Toyota will re-birth of the most phenomenal product, ie the flying car.

Yes, one of the Japanese famous automotive companies tried to extend their business coverage, one of them by presenting the flying cars. As the flying car name implies, these vehicles are expected to be the future transportation mode that can be run in the streets and fly for through traffic jams.
Back in 2014, Toyota applied for patent that could lead to flying car. (Picture from: http://adf.ly/1blrRg)
Toyota hope, they could be brought the flying car in real life in the near future. This was proven by the success of Toyota bagging the patents that features a sketch of their flying car candidate.

As quoted of the Motoring, Toyota's flying cars patents actually been filed in December 2014, but recent been published by the US Patent and Trademark Office titled 'Shape Morphing Fuselage For an Aerocar'.

When viewed from a rough idea, at first glance the Toyota's flying car will come equipped with a tiny propellers located on the side. This flying car is also very flexible, can be used in the ground or air. Therefore, the wings can be folded and hidden in its body panels. If it will fly, the wings will be widened. Conversely, if it is on the ground, the wings will enter into and hidden.

It quite interesting isn't. We'll see soon, how the development of the flying cars of Toyota. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | MOTORING | AUTONEWS]

Researchers find the new 'Dark Vortex' in the Neptune

More recently, astronomers claim to have found the black spot or more often called dark vortex at the Neptune. According to experts, the black vortex is a high pressure system, which is usually accompanied by a cloud 'companion', high above the planet's surface.

A new picture of the appearance is obtained on May 16, 2016, by the Hubble Space Telescope, to confirm the existence of the dark vortex in the atmosphere of Neptune.

According to a report quoted by the Daily Mail on Friday, June 24, 2016, even though the same features seen ever found during the Voyager 2 trip that crosses Neptune in 1994, the discovery of 'dark vortex' is the first in the 21st century. The discovery was announced on May 17, 2016 at the Central Bureau for Astronomical Telegrams (CBAT) by Mike Wong, an astronomer from the University of California, Berkeley.

Mike analyzing data from Hubble found that the dark vortex of Neptune is a high-pressure system that is usually accompanied by a cloud of light and can be seen from outside the planet. The bright cloud is formed when the flow is circling in the sky above distracted and diverted to the dark vortex, causing freezing into ice crystals of methane gas.

"The dark vortex spread through the atmosphere like a mountain of gas lenses are great. And the cloud 'companion' which is similar to orogafis clouds appear, (pancake) shaped bending mountains circling the Earth," said Mike.
By viewing the vortex a second time, the new Hubble images confirm that OPAL really detected a long-lived feature. (Picture from: http://adf.ly/1blnjW)
Started in July 2015, a bright cloud again seen in Neptune by some observers, ranging from amateur observers to astronomers at the W.M. Keck Observatory in Hawaii.

Astronomers suspect that the cloud is a cloud of light that surrounds the black vortex. Interestingly, the dark vortex of Neptune is only seen along the blue waves, and only Hubble has a high resolution to be able to see the phenomenon.

In September 2015, an annual project of Hubble, Outer Planet Atmosphere Legacy (OPAL), that captures the global map outer planet. And the map reveals a dark location, situated near the bright cloud.

The data obtained from the Hubble, allowing researchers to create a map with high quality, from the dark vortex and its surroundings. The dark vortex of Neptune provides many 'surprises' during the last few years. Starting from the shape, size, and stability - which sometimes crosswise and tortuous.

The vortex also appears in a shorter period of time, compared with the similar anticyclones are seen in Jupiter. The planetary astronomers hope to get a 'bright light' of how the black vortex is formed, originates, and how the vortex interacts with the environment.

"We were intrigued by the mysterious vortex every movement. How can he disappeared quickly," said Joshua Tollefson, NASA Earth award recipient to study the atmosphere of Neptune. Measuring the evolution of dark vortex that will expand knowledge about the black vortex itself and dynamics of the atmosphere around it. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | DAILY MAIL]

The work of KTM CR8 Café Racer of Mirco Sapio Design

The desire of renowned Austrian motorcycle manufacturer, KTM to make the superbike which is ready lauched at the racing world seems a matter of time that is not longer. Starting from the project to creates a vicious superbike then gives birth the KTM RC8.

But what would happen if the vicious superbike was dress up with the café racer concept?

An Italian fairly renowned automotive designer named Mirco Sapio has managed to turn the motorcycle figure into a very slick 3D design. A radical café racer motorcycle concept that created by him taken the base of RC8 called KTM CR8 (Cafe Racer).

Very radical and futuristic, the design work of Sapio towards the vicious figure of RC8 could be made it very difficult to identified as a café racer motorcycle. But one thing is clear, these wild ideas proved to get a high appreciation of the world's automotive enthusiasts.

With two tones colors of red and white on the tank and frame trellis plus the black accent that consistently covered all of engine area and front section made the CR8 café racer's face looks very 'sadistic'.
Simple but highly detailed, the Sapio's 3D design projects is seen exposing the tubular frame of KTM CR8 concept and made the subframe sector almost disappeared and only replaced by a single seat is very futuristic. Not to mention the front end sector, so made the CR8 café racer's face looked very 'sadistic'. What do you think?
