It's great inovation! Changing Heat Muffler to be electric

Powerful General Motors recieved a huge grant from the authorized Government of the United States, now it boost to develop dinamic automotive technologies for the more fuel-efficient consumption. One of the advanced technologies that are exactly still developed in the research and being expected to be used commercially is to change the exhaust heat of muffers into electricity.

Furthermore, abundant energy can be really stored or used directly for amazing hybrid cars. Even it is still using on conventional engine cars, it is used directly as a great source of power to operate the audio, air conditioning and other equipment.

When this abundant heat is wasted through engine of exhaust just left and not been widely used. Which it is considered as the most practical way to be possibly produced commercially and are turning it into electrical energy.

The accurate method is to use a mixture of metal (alloy), which was called "shape memory alloy" (SMA). Hopefully, this brilliant concept immediately headed to the prototype stage that can generate beneficial electricity.

How is that strong metal can convert beneficial heat into electricity? "When the SMA wires heated, there was expansion. When it is cool (cool with air blow), stiffness and reduced cable back into shape, "said January Aase, Director of the GM Vehicle Development Research Laboratory. "Furthermore, the cable reels are physically changing the used drive electric generators and it can be really used for filling the battery," added Jan.
He further pointed out that the generated electric power can be used as a source of driving a hybrid car. Even it is for a conventional engine - motor fuel - used as a replacement alternator. Thus, to obtain power no longer need to charge produced power of strong machine.

I don't know what I should say? Fantastic and Brilliant Ideas for using Flying Windmills Alternative Energy

Is wind-power energy probably difficult to be directly implemented for batteries of electric cars due to huge electric energy resulted by wind? However, I believe that sooner or later, outstanding engineers will think of conversing huge electricity of wind into proportional electricity for automotive. I am waiting for this. I am so glad for all progress of global technology! Let's talk about windmill!

Probably You have ever seen or heard about the windmill / wind turbine in the fields of wheat in Europe, in the pages of the home, or in the ocean, but now wind power engineers are trying to bring it to an altitude windmills 15000-30000 feets in the air . Taking advantage of 1% of jet-stream wind energy, enough energy can be created advantageously for mankind on earth.


Farm Windmills on the Air

Sky WindPower as energy company based in San Diego is building a Flying Electric Generator like a kite weighing 1100 pounds, which it can produce electricity at a very low cost of just 2 cents (dollar) per kilowatt hour (kwh) and it was flown at an altitude of 15,000 and 30,000 feet . Four rotors at points-shaped frame of the letter "H" wbeing able to carry his platform floating in the air like a kite. Electricity created by the rotor-spinning rotor that was sent to earth through aluminum cables tethered to his frame.



Sky WindPower, Flying Farm, Flying Electric Generator

Sky WindPower hopes someday to build a windmill farm to fly.Proposal nicknamed FEGs (Flying Electric Generators) will menmpati airspace area of 200 square miles. Turbines are made of aircraft materials consist of rotor-rotor diameter of 130 feet and weighs 45,000 pounds. FEGs it will function like a helicopter while flying, powered from the earth station until then began to collect wind energy. Vertical stabilizer on FEGs will adjust the rotor at different angles to balance its platform and optimize the speed of the wind.

Helium Balloons Producing Electricity


Cannadian company, Magenn Power has built Magen Power Air Rotor System (MARS), a helium balloon that contains a rotating wind generator on a horizontal axis and sends an electric current through a cable that can be directly utilized, stored in a battery, or passed to electric transmission lines. MARS flown at lower than FEGs, between 600-1000 feet, and works at speeds from 4 mph to more than 60 mph (miles per hour).





Kite Producing Electricity

Another idea came from Dr. Wubbo Ockels of the Delft University of Technology in (Netherlands).



This technology is very promising where the materials used are not expensive and its potential to create a very large energy, much less known that the strength of winds at a height in the air hundreds of times more powerful than on the mainland. These kites produce power by pulling a generator at the earth station, which rolls back a collection of the kite when it reaches its maximum height. Also unlike the land windmill, this technology also does not need large area to be operated.


This fantastic kite has an area of 10 square meters and it is capable of generating electricity through a generator of 10 kilowatts (enough for 10 homes). And it is currently being developed in experiments with 50 kilowatt kite and a kite-powered line of 100 megawatt-called "Laddermill" . exploiting that very huge electricity is expected to supply energy to 100,000 homes!
Kite is linked to be lined and it plays in a loop which it creates energy and electrical currents created are sent to earth via a cable along 30,000 feet.

I have never seen like that and wow! folded electric motorcycles

We generally See the bikes folded. My daughter's friend usually take it to go to school everyday. But what about a motorcycle folded. I guess it have not seen yet. However, I am impressed when i knew there is motorcycles which it can be folded.

As officially reported in aolautos.com, Friday (25/03/2011). This was exactly solved by a creative man from Boston, United States, named Benjamin Gulak. Ben created the prototype of this unique vehicle when he was 17 years old. Vehicle creation of Benjamin was given the name of BPG UNO.

Amazing BPG Motors UNO III has three wheels, two in the rear and a smaller one in front of using electricity to run, Benjamin was inspired to make this environmentally friendly motors, after his return from Beijing.

At first Ben creates only an ordinary scooter that only has 2 rear wheels only. But it seems quite difficult to be controlled.

Therefore, Ben adds one more to the front wheels, but these tires can be pulled forward and backward even when traveling. And the change was like a movie like Transformers only. And when it is pulled backward tire position, the position of the front tires will be between the two rear tires.

BPG Uno Ben creation has been able to walk up to a reasonable speed of 30 mph, and it's capable of running up to 30-35 miles before the batteries charged. And these batteries can take up to 3-4 hours for charging batteries. In addition, BPG UNO is equipped three batteries and 2 magnets that serves to pull and push the tire forward.

BPG UNO-balanced without any certain need to be balanced with the strong body. In addition, BPG UNO has a light weight 120 lbs and the engine sound is truly soft, so you do not see it as being on a motorcycle, but felt like riding a bike alone. folding motor vehicle also has sufficient suspension and good braking system.

Indeed, for the tolaratable acceleration, this terrific vehicle would not meet our satisfaction in the drive, but this could be a good choice to keep the environment in driving.

And the plan for folded motorcycles will be released at a price of U.S. $ 6,000. Well could be exactly a new impressive choice for lovers or aunthusiasts of two-wheeled vehicles.

Solar energy saving disk for cheap and efficient alternative energy

TEAM of scientists from Ceramatec, a technology company based in Utah has found a solution of cheap and efficient energy for solar energy reserves . They create a disk or small-sized disc, made of ceramics which it can store solar energy reserves to help households during the electricity shortage?


The disc serves as sodium sulfur batteries with which it works at temperatures above 600 degrees Fahrenheit and it can accommodate up to 20 kilowatts of energy.

The secret workings of this disc, is located on a thin ceramic membrane inserted between sodium and sulfur. There is only one positive sodium ions which those could be through both, and those leave the flow of electrons to create enough electricity to supply a large portion of energy for the needs of a house in one day

Apparently Mitsubishi keep manufacturing fantastic Evo X

TOKYO - Last month, Magnificent Mitsubishi made wonderful surprise by officially announcing the temporary cessation of production of one of the most famous sports cars in the world, elegant Mitsubishi Evo. The announcement caused great reaction among automotive enthusiasts. As a result, outstanding manufacturers from Japan, said it would continue production Evo X as Amazing MItsubishi prepares the more fantastic successor.


Global product director at Mitsubishi, Gayu Eusegi, said initially they did intend to stop the production of terrefic Evo. The convincing reason, Mitsubihsi really want to focus on developing technology-based products EV (Electric Vehicle).

But brilliant President CEO of Mitsubishi, Osamu Masuko, decide about the future of Evo. "Production of Lancer Evolution X today will continue,"he said as quoted from usegi in autoevolution.com pages. "As a advanced successor, we set a very different model from the side view as well as reliable performance."

"MMC (Mitsubishi Motor Company) will maintain the Lancer Evolution sedan because this elegant model became an icon of our success in international markets," he added. "We will build an all-new models as future generations."

Official page of Autocar writes if the next-generation Evo will be strengthened by diesel-electric hybrid engine. This is done to meet the extraordinary demands of Mitsubishi cars, economical and low emission.

The mechanics of elegant Mitsubishi reportedly is developing a machine combining a diesel engine with an electric motor of big torque which Evo XI will be able to run 0-100 km / h less than 5 seconds, but with emission levels below 200g/km.

This great performance will be exactly supported by the latest four-wheel drive system, the S-AWC, braking and traction control.

Hydrogen-powered and fueled Motorcycle

An amazing prototype natural emissions vehicle (ENV), hydrogen-powered motorcycle, was seriously introduced early last month in London, England. This powerful motorcycle exploits engines for the shape as large as suitcase and the powerful engines filled by high-pressure hydrogen.

The fantastic engine is really capable of reaching speeds of 50 miles per hour or about 80 kilometers per hour. These fuels can be used on average for 4 hours with the distance of 100 miles, or about 161 miles before recharging.

using hydrogen fuel, this motorcycle definitely is no emissions and no noise. However, the latter advantage becomes a complicated problem. For some people, without the noise produced by the exhaust, this bike might be fun. But, judging from the other side, without a voice roared, this motorcycle is dangerous because of other motorists or pedestrian may not hear and know of the existence of this motorcycle.

Fastest Hybrids Car in the world is claimed by Vermont RS III

Stuttgart - probably automotive anthusiasts do not believe, but this is in fact, a magnificent hybrid car roadster, the fantastic Veritas RS III, capable of racing up very quickly to 330 kilometers per hour (kpj). In fact, the extraordinary acceleration from rest to a fantastic speed of 100 kpj (sprint) taken within 3.1 seconds or 0.1 seconds a drift just slower than the standard auto version.




As officially reported by worldnewsco.com, Tuesday (15 / 3), a magnificent car made by established Vermot AG - a German sports car manufacturer - has undergone some complicated speed testing at the hard circuit Nurburgring, Germany. "This terrefic car is owned by BMW's powerful V10 engine with a accepted capacity of 5000 cc and powered by 507 horsepower," the page was written.

However, additional thanks to an electric motor with a capacity of 105 kilowatts, the total power generated powerful and fast Veritas RS III to 600 horsepower. Only, the weight increases because of the additional 500 pounds of lithium ion batteries that store energy source stun.

Thus, when it's compared to conventional-engined version of the standard speed is more than 10 kpj. Still, this amazing car still be the fastest among other excellent hybrid variants.

Another advantage is the prospective technology offered Vermot Kinetic Energy Recovery System (KERS). Progressive Technology is able to recycle the energy that should be wasted when braking into a new power to charge the electric motor. As a result, agile drivers do not have to worry about running out of electric motors would come up short stun source.

Strong Vermot claim, if the agile driver wants to drive using only the electric motor only they can cover the accounted distance by 50 kilometers. In fact, as the car sped with maximum speed.
