The unusual custom touches on Honda Supra Fit moped

There are looks many differences which pinned on the 2007 Honda Supra Fit compared with the moped modification concept in general. The custom motorcycle which is a modification result of Saibun Panjaitan of Pekanbaru-based workshop named Afto Motor is totally out of the box. By carrying the classic board tracker concept, Afto Motor managed to display an unusual custom works.

When you first look at it, no one thought that the motorcycle was the Honda Supra Fit. Moreover, if you look at its cylinder block which had been modified from its original horizonal position changed to vertical, aka upright.

It wasn't easy to change the position of the cylinder block, because certainly could make all the components also changed. And of the modification data, the changing position process of cylinder block took a quite long time.

Due to the mounting-base of cylinder block should be made anew, while the original standard holes must be patched with re casted it. Not finished until there, to make the machine could be stand upright, the modifier shall make a new holes in the top of crankcase for the tracks of piston work, including four bolt holes of the block buffer and the oil lines.

Uniquely, for components such as crankshaft, piston completely not changed, alias still in its standard condition. To make the engine looks neat, some sectors deliberately polished and coated with chrome.

Once completed on the machine, now turn to spruce the frames sector. Just like any other builder, the bike's frame was made manually of 3/4 inch seamless pipes.

Do not expect there's shock absorber on the back, because the board tracker style typically use rigid chassis. While at the front placed a springer is combined with a unique handlebar, and completed with the custom fuel tank was hanging in the middle of the chassis. Wow... That's a quite cool custom motorcycle isn't?

Kept spur your adrenaline on the power of two-wheeled monster and stay alive with the true safety riding. May God will forgive Your sins and so does the cops.... ••• [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | OTOMANIA.COM]

The dwarf planet Ceres turned out to be covered by ice

The dwarf planet Ceres is a rocky place that is located in the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter and is based on research done by NASA, it also contains a lot of ice on its dark surface.

The study, published in several reports in the journals Science and Nature Astronomy can lead to commercial mining on asteroids for both robotic and human expeditions to the moon.

Is a NASA spacecraft named Dawn was surrounding the Ceres since March 2015, in the 14-months mission to study Vesta, the second largest object in the belt.

Based on the study, Ceres contains 10 percent water, now frozen into ice, according to a physicist named Thomas Prettyman of the Planetary Science Institute in Tucson, Arizona, which is also one of the researchers.

By studying the solar system on the objects like Ceres will provide an overview of how the system is formed. When compared with Vesta is dry, then the condition of Ceres is more like Enceladus and Europa, the frozen moon of Saturn and Jupiter. So also when compared with Earth, Mercury, Venus and Mars, Prettyman said further.

Scientists were still debating whether Ceres has a salty sea, which creates a perception will grow dwarf planet outside the solar system that might be able to accommodate life, said the deputy leader of Dawn mission, Carol Raymond of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California.

"By finding a place rich in water in the past, we can find clues to the likely life of the early solar system," Raymond said through a written statement.

The informations collected by Dawn shown, that Ceres using the water to form minerals. Then the scientists combining the mineral data with computer models to study the interior.. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | POPULAR MECHANICS | SPACE]

The new X-ray technology is capable to detect the hidden gold on the rocks

A new X-ray technology can provide information in "real-time" on the content of gold in rocks that can help revolutionize the assay industry by by saving time, costs and reduce toxic waste. The inventor of this new gold detection technology named PhotonAssay X-ray is Dr. James Tickner of CSIRO (Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation) said that the new method using high-strength X-rays to bombard the rock samples and activate the gold atoms in it.

A detector is used to capture "the signs of the unique" to exude the level of concentration of gold atoms and other elements to determine the feasibility of a gold mining area.

Tickner said the new method will provide information in "real-time" to the mining operator, something they never had in the past.

"Existing analysis methods can take a day or more to return a result, which can be a real problem if miners needs informations right now to manage their operations," Tickner said in a statement on Thursday.

"Our patented PhotonAssay will be a game changer, capable of delivering accurate results in just a few minutes without generating the toxic waste products which have been problematic in other assay systems," Tickner added.

Tickner said the invention would prove useful in a field, especially in Australia, which is in decline. By quickly analyzing soils and rocks, miners can determine whether or not it is pursuing, while the technology can also be used to determine the presence of other, lower quality ores as well.

"We have to focus on improving the accuracy, sensitivity and simplicity of the technology to make it useful for low-grade Australian mining operations. By providing reliable and fast information to the clients, we increasing their potential to maximize their profits and increase productivity, even on the lower quality ores," Tickner said further.

This technology will be sold through Chrysos Corporation, of which the CSIRO will have a stake of 34 percent. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | CSIRO | XINHUA]
