Storm Pulse managed to finish its journey around the world

Do you still remember with an electric motorcycle made by the students of Eindhoven University of Technology last year (jump to the article)? And now, this electric motorcycle has managed to do a trip around the world. Yes, an electric motorcycle called Storm Pulse has managed a distance of 23,000 km around the world.

A group of 30 students from the Eindhoven University of Technology, the Netherlands has been working for a year to innovative electric battery intended for a motorcycle that can roam as far as 380 km on a single batteries full charged. For later, the research will continue to travel around the world to try and test the limits of their electric motorcycle.

The electric motorcycle using a new type of modular battery. The module is divided into 24 special cartridges for maximum power of 28.5 kWh, and the battery module can be removed or exchanged without tools and can be done by anyone.

The trip was indeed inspired by the Jules Verne's novel titled 'Around the World in 80 Days'. And the journey has started since August 14, 2016, and the Storm Pulse had been traveled through over Europe, Asia and the United States in that effort.

And finally on November 2, 2016, the Storm Pulse has arrived back in Eindhoven, after venturing as far as 23,000 km. Indeed the journey did not always run smoothly, there are some technical problems encountered by the team, but all can be overcome then by them. Congrats..!!!

A Reventon replica made by a Kosovan man

When the Lamborghini name is called, usually catched directly in our mind is an Italian made super-luxury cars and then it could be changed until you see the work of a car modification enthusiast of Kosovo.

Yes, his name Driton Selmani, a Kosovan modification enthusiast as well as the owner of a car repair shop in the town of Gjilan, Kosovo. He managed to assemble a rare replica of the Lamborghini Reventon by using the Mitsubishi used cars.

To assemble the replica of Lamborghini Reventon, Selmani was used the chassis of Mitsubishi Eclipse. While for the engine, he using a 3,000 cc V6 engine of Mitsubishi Galant.

As is well known, that the original Reventon driven by using a V12 engine capacity of 6.5 liters and can be driven up to a maximum speed of 355.6 km/h. Might be those speed numbers could not be reach by the Selmani's replica car.

As quoted of FoxNews, Selmani also install several features such as Lambo's scissor door type and a number of other details that make the car really looks like a Lamborghini.

It has took about a year to assemble this dream car and spent the money about US. $35,000 or about Rp.474 million. Those numbers was far away compared to the price of real Lamborghini Reventon is sold at a price of $1.5 million or approximately Rp.20,3 billion.

Indeed, the result is not like the real Lamborghini Reventon. It can be seen from the different dimensions of the car. For example, of its width seemed the replica is smaller than the real one. But in general, due to Selmani pay strict attention to detail, so at least his car look like a Lamboghini car at glance. What do You think..? *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | FOX NEWS | IEN]

Is it true that NASA conceals the signs of life on Mars?

Scientists have been reviewing the images taken by Spirit rover nearly a decade ago. They also concluded that the United States Space Agency (NASA) may previously ignored evidence of the earliest forms of life on other planets.

As reported Express on Sunday, November 27, 2016, a new evidence published in Nature Communications showed outcrop rocks and regoliths formed of opaline silica photographed by Spirit Rover in Gusev Crater in 2007 could potentially have biosignatures, the nature trails current or past.

Two experts from Arizona State University (ASU), Steve Ruff and Jack Farmer looked at data from the visits of Spirit Rover to Home Plate, a plateau of layered rock in the crater region of Columbia Hills. It is an ancient region of volcanic ash eroded, believed to still contain active hot water, which has formed silica outcrops, including finger-like formations which were photographed.

In addition, they also occur in less obvious forms, including organic molecules remaining trapped in rocks and compacted mat of microbes known as stromatolites, which is an early form of life on Earth, and are found in Western Australia, and El Tatio in Chile.

Stromatolites are formed when microbial colonies gathered in a humid environment, before trapping sediment in a sticky surface. Sediment reacts with the calcium carbonate in the water, creating a buildup of lime.

Proof of life? The silica deposits on Mars, left, are remarkably similar to on Earth, right. (Picture from: http://adf.ly/1gGAh9)

Stromatolites in El Tatio, which has conditions similar to Mars also formed by hot springs, said to resemble images taken in the Spirit Rover in the Mars crater. Deposits of silica in the structure in EI Tatio discovered by a team almost identical to that found in Gusev Crater.

"Our results indicate that the condition is more like Mars than El Tatio produce unique deposit, including biomediated silica structure, with characteristics that are favorable compared with the silica outcrops of Home Plate. This similarity raises the possibility that Mars silica structure is formed in a way that is comparable," as the team wrote in the report.

On a separate report last month by a different team of scientists concluded evidence of life on Mars may have been discovered in 1976, but scientists suggest it then do not believe it. A review study called Viking Labeled Release, see the two probes land on the Red Planet, brings interesting claims that the soil collected from Mars indicate microbial life.

The spacecrafts landed 4,000 miles of each other on Mars in the 1970s, but both produce the same surprising results after the Martian soil analysis. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | EXPRESS]

A unique scrambler filled with iconography tattoos

Tom Thöring was a modifier of Schlachtwerk who had managed to build a custom motorcycle-inspired by iconography tattoos. By taking the base of the Kawasaki W650, Tom gives scrambler style with an iconic looks that is filled with tattoos.

In the form which is still similar to other scrambler custom motorcycles. But what makes it more interesting is the tattoo touches. The coloring to the tattoo typical nuanced that wrapped around the tank becoming a unique identity of the motorcycle.

The tank is then combined with scrambler distinctive details upholstery within elongated shape for its rider and passenger that has subtle lines of stitches. This part gives more interesting impression with a little contrasting brown color.

A brand-new classic three-wheeled electric car launched by Morgan

Apparently, the British automotive manufacturer, Morgan Motor follow the world trend to make the electric cars. And their first electric car was produced in limited numbers and has a quite eccentric three-wheeled vehicle design within a classic style.

As reported by CNN Money on Monday, November 28, 2016, the electric car was named 'Morgan UK1909' and produced only 19 units worldwide and will be sold at a price of £52,500, or about Rp.881.75 million. There are models for children priced at £7,300 or Rp.122.60 million.

The Malvern-based company is working together with a local department store, Selfridges, to sell the Morgan UK1909. 

The launch of the electric vehicles itself has been done some time ago. The purpose of Morgan Motors makes the UK1909 with the appearence similar to the vintage vehicles is to commemorate the first model of them which created 107 years ago. They say the concept of UK1909 is "pleasure" and "hoopla".

Even so, the UK1909 was not typical malignant electric car. Its engine only able to burst the power up to 70 hp, with a distance of only 150 miles (241.4 km) when the battery is fully charged.

Manufacturers who only make up to 850 cars per year by hand, affirmed that they also make another electric cars of the future and expressed has invested about £6 million (Rp.100,77 billion) to develop other electric cars in the future. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | CNN MONEY]

An object resembles the pyramid discovered in Antarctica

The world of internet again bustling by the discovery of an object like a pyramid in Antarctica. Since last week a number of Western medias busy to proclaim an object like the pyramid captured by the Google Earth.

Some scientists was interviewed speculate that the object was an evidence of human civilization ever existed in the northern hemisphere. In fact, there are some scientists who say that the object is a relic of an alien who had stopped at the Earth. But is it true that the object is a pyramid? If true, and then who has built it? Human or alien?

This Antarctic mountain bears a striking resemblance to a pyramid captured by Google Earth. (Picture from: http://adf.ly/1gFeUP)

According to several scientists interviewed by Live Science, the object like pyramid shaped was actually a mountain which has similar sloping sides to the pyramids in Egypt. The sides were created as a natural phenomenon.

"This is a mountain that looks like a pyramid, Usually there are two sides like a pyramid, rarely has four sides (like a pyramid)," said Eric Rignot, an Earth science expert at the University of California as quoted by Live Science on Tuesday, November 29, 2016. According to him, the pattern similar to pyramid was many in nature. Some mountain on Earth, he said, had the sides like a pyramid.

The mountains like a pyramid itself is one of several peaks in the Ellsworth Mountains of Antarctica. The mountain was first discovered by US pilot, Lincoln Ellsworth on his journey on November 23, 1935, as described in a study of US Geological Survey (USGS) in 2007.

The nameless peak is located south of Ellsworth Mountains, in an area called Heritage Range. In that place is found some rare fossils of ancient creatures that about 500 million years old.

Meanwhile, according to Mauri Pelto, an environmental studies expert at Nichols College, Dudley, Massachusetts, the sides similar to pyramid at the mountaintop was caused by erosion of permafrost that occurs over millions of years.

He explained that the snow or water usually fill cracks or crevices of the mountain during the day. At night, when the temperature dropped dramatically, water or snow will freeze, expand and turn into ice. As a result of this expansion make the slit on the mountain enlarged.

This process is ongoing so as to create large cracks and that ultimately led to these parts were destroyed. This process has already been studied in another mountain shaped like a pyramid, like the top of the Matterhorn mountain in the Alps.

The nameless mountain in Antarctica has three sloping sides of the same. Pelto suspects that the three sloping sides were eroded at the same speed.

"I suspect, rock type on the three sides was fairly uniform," said Pelto. The fourth side of a mountain that looked more different. He extends eastward, not tilted like the other three sides.

He also denied that the mountain was newly found. He said that near the mountain, precisely in the south, there is a research station belonging to climate scientists. The area was known as Patriot Hills. "You can see the mountain from Patriot Hills," he said then. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | LIVESCIENCE]
