Nissan Released A Series Hybrid Car Gran Turismo 6

Virtual reality has once again received a physical embodiment. The Japanese automaker Nissan has released its first hybrid car - GT-R from the popular series of racing games Gran Turismo 6.

Hybrid technology in the automotive industry, there are more than one year. When the first cars used to drive the drive wheels more than one source of energy, were urban runabout, like Prius, but now these engines mounted on such respectable supercars like McLaren P1 and Porsche 918 Spyder Hybrid. Even Ferrari tried to make a hybrid, releasing LaFerrari. Now came the turn of Nissan.

The new car almost immediately after its release will take place at baptism race "24 Hours of Le Mans", where, as expected, will compete with the best hybrid cars.

Model NISSAN GT-R HYBRID R36 engine has twin-turbo V6 rated at 542 hp 3.8-liter. Accelerates while cars to 100 km / h in just 2.8 seconds. Under the hood, the new hybrid GT-R R36 - upgraded version of this engine, whose power is increased to 650 hp?

Extras on the car will be installed in the motor 134 hp, which will increase the power to 784 hp supercar and reduce fuel consumption and harmful emissions. Due to the fact that the torque is increased significantly, engineers from Nissan replaced the six-speed transmission with a new eight-speed. In terms of design, R36 GT-R will be much more radical than the previous model. The new hybrid supercar will be more aggressive, with sharp features, a huge diffuser and air intakes and unique instantly recognizable design of the front end. That’s for sure so doing not look any different car. The cost of the new supercar is 120 -150 000 US dollars.

Commercially Viable Alternatives To Gold

The pursuit of jewels can lead to serious illness greed, and it is known to live be not very nice. Gold fever is treated with great difficulty, so we offer you ten commercially viable alternatives to gold.
Postage stamps.
The bond market guru Bill Gross said that it would be better invested on rare stamps, because with them certainly nothing will turn out. Nevertheless, he continued to trade on the stock market, losing a total of about $ 100 million and earn even more. Over the past six years, the dynamics of the market is growing collectibles unprecedented speed. Special indexes GB30 show growth dynamics of prices for stamps in 74%. So do not rush to give the album with stamps nephew it is possible that in the closet gathering dust your wealth.
Chinese ceramics.
Here are a couple of thousand years; China is the leading supplier of ceramic art. Those who managed to buy a pair of Chinese vases of the Ming Dynasty; there is a great chance to earn a higher price on the Asian ceramics. Analysts predict an increase in the value of art comes from ancient China by 45% over the next five years. Just a couple of months ago porcelain cup with a cock Ming Dynasty was sold for $ 36 million at auction Christie's. So do not be lazy to go to the nearest antique store.
Wine.
Rising prices of collectible wines superior growth dynamics value of gold and oil. On this occasion in the UK even a specialized fund focused on investments in wines from the Bordeaux Chateau producing a strictly limited number of drinks.
Things celebrities.
Old posters autographed by dead rock stars, things that belonged to celebrities, can cost a fortune and are able to enrich their owners. But even if you own such a bagatelle solely for the love of art, do not be afraid to lose in value - the value of such things is growing every year.
Vintage cars.
The index shows that over the past 10 years, the investment value of classic cars has increased by nearly 500 percent. Rare cars released over thirty years ago, with proper care and the state can bring their owners a lot of money, provided that they can be properly sold. For example, recently vintage Ferrari 250 GT was sold for 8.8 million dollars (given that it was bought in 2011, only 5 million).
Wristwatches.
Growing demand, limited supply and low maintenance costs - you have all the reasons to invest in luxury watches. For example, collectible model of Rolex or Patek Phillipe, not only did not lose in value over the years, but significantly increased, to make you the owner of non-small percent.
Diamonds.
Diamonds Are Forever sung in the famous song, and price indices confirm this. Buying diamonds - employment more difficult than buying gold, but can bring much greater profit with the right approach. Diamond market - one of the most stable in the world and shake it can unless unprecedented discovery of deposits, which is unlikely to happen soon.

Daqri Upgraded Construction Helmets

Los Angeles startup Daqri upgraded construction helmets, integrating it into a technology similar to Google Glass.
Smart Helmet from Daqri has 360-degree navigation cameras, inertial measurement system of industrial-grade, three-dimensional vision camera and a high resolution.
For decades, engineers and builders were able to turn your 2D drawings into 3D renderings using systems like AutoCAD, but Smart Helmet takes this process one step further. Helm allows users to visualize three-dimensional building model in 4D space and interact with them directly.
Smart Helmet offers the same protection as conventional construction helmets, but has a transparent visor covers the upper half of the face of the user. It uses the Android operating system and is able to work 8 hours on one battery charge. Besides the already mentioned functions and features, it can record HD-video, take pictures, and make three-dimensional maps. All of these technologies fit into the size and weight of a typical construction helmet.
Augmented reality in the construction and design is rapidly gaining popularity. The company recently introduced its Lowe Holoroom, in which the customer enters the parameters of planning, creates a virtual room, and can customize it by simple hand gestures.
In the same building, some companies already offer professional technology 4D, based on the use of the tablets. Work with them projecting three-dimensional renderings on the plane, while the other person marks the space for action. Smart Helmet also allows you to perform such operations on their own and without the use of special procedure. Application for the latest helmet will be created separately, so that each sphere of the industry will be able to design their own programs tailored to their needs. For this Daqri supplies with helmet 4D Studio Software is a tool that helps users build applications.
The most superior sample of the latest helmet will be available by the end of October this year, and in December, is scheduled to launch several pilot programs for the field of industrial tests.

The Longest Staircase In The World

Despite the long distance, height and slope of the hill on which the ladder, it attracts many people.

The longest flight of stairs on the ground is located on Mount Niesen in Switzerland, nicknamed "the Swiss Pyramid" for its triangular shape. Ladder length of 3.4 km and 11 674 steps up the mountain slope, starting from a height of 700 meters at the bottom (from the river Kander in the village Muhlen) to 2363 meters at the top of the mountain. The average slopes of the mountain ranges between the colossal 55% and 65%.

For safety reasons, usually stairs closed to the public. But once a year, in June, she opened for the longest single race up the stairs - Niesen Treppenlauf, otherwise known as the Niesenlauf. In the course of the race up to 500 participants have to climb up this horrible stairs at the highest possible speed. Record for the men - one hour and two minutes for women - one hour and nine minutes that really impressive, considering that climb to the top is equivalent to seven Climbing the Empire State Building.

Difficult race is clearly not intended for the faint of heart, but its popularity is amazing. If you are wishing to participate you have to register almost a year before the race to secure a place in the competition. And sometimes it does not guarantee participation last year's race, for example, has been canceled due to heavy snow.

Fortunately, you do not need to puff in the race to take on an exciting path. Instead, you can take the train going parallel to the stairs on the steep slopes of the mountain. During the 28-minute trip, opened in 2010, the year, you can enjoy breathtaking views of the lush alpine forests, meadows and rare herd of cows on a background of snow-covered Alps. The train also passes through several tunnels and high-altitude sites. In addition, there is an outdoor pedestrian tourist route with multiple slides along the way to compensate for the slope of the Swiss pyramid.

The First Recorded Case Depending On The Smart Glasses

American psychologists have a unique chance to see a person suffering from dependence on glasses Google.

Psychologists first tried to help a person get rid of Internet addiction caused by the abuse of Google Glass. Without this gadget patient showed all the signs of withdrawal symptoms, and even in his sleep he dreamed that he wears glasses. It was an unprecedented case of so-called problem of using Google Glass.

The patient, 31-year-old mechanic from the US Navy to use the unit for 18 hours a day, he shot glasses only when sleeping or taking a shower. In otstutstvii gadget he complained of an easy temper, and then began to suffer from involuntary movements of limbs, then started to have problems with memory. In addition, within two months, the patient had dreams, and they looked as if he was looking through their Google Glass.

Perhaps revealing here is that this person already has in his history of depression, anxiety and increased propensity for obsessive-compulsive disorder. And consequently, may have a tendency to drug dependence, and as a drug in this time were notorious glasses. Anyway, psychologist’s patient explained that very much worries without my glasses, and that this condition is much worse than the heaviest hangover that he had ever experienced.

And yet all the time the patient was doing involuntary movements of the hand toward the temple, as if trying to press a button on the glasses. He was appointed as a course of treatment lasting for 35 days, resulting in a marked reduction in irritability, the number of involuntary hand movements also decreased. Short-term memory and clear thinking of the patient improved significantly, but he still sees strange dreams that look at the world through your device.

5 Unusual Electrical Boards For Active Sports

Classified sports equipments in recent years are experiencing a new birth. After all, if earlier surfing or, for example, snowboarding, people engaged only in the right weather and natural conditions, but now, thanks to the introduction of modern technologies, external factors do not play a decisive role. Today we tell about 5 unusual electrical boards for active sports.

Radinn.

Wakeboard, which itself carries forward. Bord Radinn created for fans of the increasingly popular worldwide wakeboarding is a sport where a person slips on the surface of the water on a board, keep a hand on the bar, attached to a special cable or rushing forward motorboat.

Blackboard Radinn offers fans of the sport to be completely autonomous in their races and swim in any body of water under all weather conditions, even where there is no question about the existence of Wake Park.

After Radinn has built-in electric motor, which carries it and the person goes ahead. This board gives athletes an incredible opportunity for mobility. On it, he can swim in any place where he wants, even in the fountain, if there are no more large-scale reservoirs.

PowerSki Jetboard.

Surfboard without waves. Has similar functionality and board with the name PowerSki Jetboard. However, its creators are based on experiences not wakeboarding and surfing. This sports equipment allows you to engage in this type of sport, even where in principle there can be no big waves.

Built in PowerSki Jetboard electric motor allows this board to glide through the water at speeds up to 60 kilometers per hour, making it possible to perform many tricks, including podrygivat in the air and there perform aerobatic sport aerobatics.

And for such races were more stable, PowerSki Jetboard has a special attachment for which the athlete can grab to give the board the necessary mobility without fear with her fly off due to centrifugal force.

Boosted Boards.

Skateboard for the lazy. Boosted Boards, is the skateboard for the laziest athletes. After all, why make a start from the feet of asphalt, giving him and the board speed and acceleration, if you can trust the process electronics?

The fact that the board has Boosted Boards electric motor, which, despite its modest size, allows Bordeaux accelerate to a speed of 30 kilometers per hour, driving on a single battery charge up to 10 km. However, at the end of energy, an athlete can move the old-fashioned on this board, starting from the feet of the road.

However Boosted Boards conceived not only as sports equipment, but also as a democratic urban vehicle. After all, this board is, for the moment, the cheapest in the world of electric vehicles. It can be used for travel to the place of study or work. Especially since the battery charging at Boosted Boards is only two hours. Boosted Boards will also be indispensable to people whose work is connected with the constant movement of the streets of the city, such as couriers, postmen or Pizza Man.

Pau Hana Big EZ Angler.

Electric board for fishing. Blackboard Pau Hana Big EZ Angler created not so much for the sport, but for a quiet, measured rest in the open air - fishing. Its name and form she received from Aboriginal traditional fishing boats of Hawaii. But modern engineers supplemented by an electric motor and lithium-ion battery.

The result was a board that can deliver a fisherman on the right place, where it will be small, but comfortable raft for fishing. Complete with Pau Hana Big EZ Angler, of course, is the paddle, but it is necessary, mainly for balance in a time when the board carries you toward dawn.

On the blackboard Pau Hana Big EZ Angler also has special slots for mounting rods and other fishing gear, as well as a container for fish caught, serving simultaneously seat for the fisherman.

ASAP.

Electric board for Baywatch. Board ASAP takes us to the once popular TV series "Baywatch", in which a beautiful and tanned boys and girls solve their personal problems, not forgetting in the case of danger to tourists on the water people miss special yellow board and thrown into the ocean to help.

ASAP - a tool for such water rescuers, which makes their job much easier and safer. This board electrically powered, allowing confidently swim and rescue people in distress, even in the most violent storm.

Board ASAP was developed by designer named Ross Camp and has already been adopted in the spring of 2014 on the "armed" rescue services in California. By the way, is preparing a new version of the board, which will be powered by built in the surface of solar panels.

Soon Injections Are Almost Painless

Plugging steel needle into his own flesh will never be fun and exciting ways - but at least you can make it much less painful. The trick here is to trick the cell pain with a small device which uses pressure and vibration. Here's how it works.

Last week at the American Society of Anesthesiologists demonstrated a new device that allows you to deceive our own nerve cells. 21 volunteers participated in the experiment in which they are pricked in the shoulder plastic ersatz needle while this same area was applied a different quantity of heat, cold, pressure, and vibration. The researchers found that the greatest effect is achieved by the application of a specific volume of pressure and vibration for 20 seconds before injection. The temperature of this process, presumably, does not play any role.

But how this action is deceiving our brains? Gate theory of pain states that pain signals from the skin puncture must pass through a "neural gate" in the spinal cord on the way to the head brain. These gates can block other physical sensations such as pressure and vibration. This same principle explains why, when pressure is applied to the cut, the pain of it decreases.

Dentists can already use some varieties of vibrating needles, but a new study shows that the application of vibration and pressure to the injection site more efficiently.

How To Clean Bill Of Cocaine

A research conducted in 2007 and 2009, showed that approximately ninety percent of US banknotes have traces of cocaine on them self. These paradoxical fact creators suggest using a special machine called a bank Banker. They want to clean it with the help of the dollars and collect pure cocaine.

Work on the machine Banker began in 2008, when the results were released the first of the above studies. They reported that on each bill of US currency can be found from 0.006 to 1.24 micrograms of cocaine, which is associated with the use of the drug using rolled-up bills.

However, at the beginning of work on this device unit was called MO-CLEAN / 14, but now his name sounds much more short and simple - Banker, Banker.

Banker is a machine, something like a copy machine. Only the top in it instead of sheets that need otkserit need to put banknotes. They pass through the device and emerge from it completely cleared not only cocaine but also from many other impurities.

However, it is cocaine most interested creators Banker. Indeed, after a series of chemical reactions thus collected drug can be crystallized to a purity of 99 percent, and then used in the medical purposes or police operations.

In this apparatus Banker has a relatively simple structure and low cost. So that it can be set in almost any bank.

Some Reasons Why You Have A Dependency On Video Games

If you are really addicted to video games, you probably often hear from your relatives and friends wishes stop. "You have to get out of your room and relax a little!", "You, but to play, to do anything at all?" Or "go for a walk with your friends! When I was at your age, we did not have video games, and the time we spent in a different way!
If you enjoy video games, what's wrong? Absolutely there is nothing. Play video games, of course, fun. You can move yourself into a completely different world and solve a huge number of virtual problems.
On the other hand, video games can result in serious consequences if they become your dependence. No matter how much time you spend on video games, the main thing is how you treat them. If you play a lot, but at the same time to do other important things in your life, then you have no dependence. However, if you play in the "non-stop" and do not pay attention to what is happening around you, then you will certainly have an addiction. In other words, if your passion for video games negatively affect the real life, besides addiction, it's different not name.
Dependence on video games is a big problem of modern culture. Many people tend to be interested in one question: how and why this relationship occurs? The reasons are different, mostly psychological in nature, and we will discuss them.
1.
Videogames lead you into a rage when someone tells you it's time to stop. There is nothing wrong in the fact that you are fond of video games. However, if you do not adequately respond to the requests of others to stay, then you definitely have a problem with addiction. Hardcore gamer’s factory with a twist, when their parents or friends tell them to break away from the game. We will become a balk and, ultimately, just continue to play, improving skills and virtual levels, while our real life goes on.
2.
Video games make you think that the virtual world it is reality. After a long time, playing video game is easy to start thinking that the virtual world is actually real. But the worst thing is that we take small, individual components of the game as real. For example, if the side goal of the game is to collect as many coins, so in our head start thinking about what these coins are more valuable than real money. If we begin to appreciate the virtual objects larger than the real thing, this is, again, takes away our actual life on the back burner.
3.
Video games force you to deny their relationship. When you say that you are addicted to video games, to you, it acts as a red rag to a bull. You're angry, deny everything ... and then continue to play as if nothing had happened. Many people who are too addicted to video games or just started on this path, not really aware of their dependence, so there will always be unlocked, we need only to mention it. The good news is that if you recognize their dependence on video games, then you have all the chances to get rid of it, as opposed to those people who vehemently deny it.
4.
Videogames make you spend a lot of money. When we fully pass one game, then immediately proceed to another or postpone savings and look forward to the continuation of the output. Usually people spend money on things such as paying taxes, mortgage, and car loan, repayment of utility bills, food, clothes and stuff. Additional means we go for entertainment, and gamers, video and computer games. But the longer we play various games, the more you spend. And with time on this hobby would be to leave as much will not pull even our core budget. Needless to say, this is not normal? Today, many people are turning too careless with their money is one of the reasons why there is a dependence on video games.
5.
Videogames make you lose interest in the outside world. The more we play, the less it becomes interesting private lives and the world. In many ways, this is what defines the difference between the dependent person video games and casual gamers. Last time and find your favorite games, and your life. The person who is addicted to video games, only interested in the same virtual world. Why? Yes, because playing for hours on end for it is more important than work or socializing with friends. This can too go ahead to severe harms with psychological and physical health.
6.
Videogames make you call the room where you play them, their home. No matter where you're playing video games: your room, basement or living room. A person who becomes dependent on video games will eventually become call home the place where he plays. Not my room - namely the house. That's right; after they leave the place only when they need to go to the bathroom or the kitchen to something quickly to intercept, without departing from the refrigerator, or to order a pizza over the phone. If a person starts to think: "Why should I be somewhere else if my place is here?", Then he became addicted to video games.
7.
Videogames are output, if you have social problems. This item mainly refers to those who have certain problems of a social nature. These people want to get away from the outside world, and video games, in their opinion, the best way to do it. In fact, they run not from the world, but from the accumulated problems that they seem insoluble. In this case, video games is not an option, but only a pretext and justification.
8.
Video games take your precious time. Our "I'm only 30 minutes of play and the whole thing," typically takes quite a few hours. Nowadays, lots of people are turning too carelessly, not only with their money, but also time.
9.
Videogames make you lie to yourself. This item is directly connected to all the previous ones. You become addicted to video games, going to lie to yourself about the time and the money (wasted) spend on them, refusing to admit that you have a relationship, the loss of attention in the outer surface humanity, and so on.
10.
Videogames make you live someone else's life. And finally, the main reason why video games are so addicting and beckon you - it is an opportunity to live someone else's life in a totally different, new world, where there are completely different rules, physics and technology. When you do not like your real life, you are instead of something to change, prefer to escape from reality, because in the virtual world, it's much easier. Remember, you have one life, and only depends on you, as you will live it.

Real Vehicles Printed On The 3d-Printer

Several years ago, 3D-printers have very limited capacities and sizes. But now you can use them to print even the most complex and ambitious designers, such as cars and airplanes. Today we tell about some real vehicles, created using three-dimensional printers.

Cavity.

Cavity Printed on the 3D-printer skateboard. Standard modern skateboards have as a base seven-layer wooden board, which is attached to the wheel. The quality of the vehicle is heavily dependent on the level of pressing and bonding layers. But students of the University of California in partnership with Cavity Boards have developed a new technology to create these boards. They began to print them using the three-dimensional printer.

Board called Cavity became the first such sports equipment. It’s printed using lazer nospechennogo nylon. The first tests of this board professional skateboarder showed that she did not listen to them worse than the most expensive boards from top manufacturers.

3DP-F1.

3DP-F1 Printed on the 3D-printer bicycle. In April 2014 the Australian company Flying Machine printed on a three-dimensional printer, one of the world's first bike of this kind. The frame of the bike with the name of 3DP-F1 consists of titanium tubes, printed using said digital simulator.

Thus his bike 3DP-F1 was developed accordingly parameters Director of Flying Machine. Thus, the manufacturer wanted to show that people in the future thanks to the 3D-printer can receive vehicles that are ideal for each individual. However, their cost will not be much different from the serial products.

Energica Ego.

The world's first electric motorcycle printed on the 3D-printer. The vehicle with the name Energica Ego became the world's first electric motorcycle created using a three-dimensional printer. However, not all parts of the bike were printed in this manner. At the printers have only been made fairings, headlights and some other structural elements. Still, when it comes to high speeds, it is better to trust in the traditional rather than experimental technologies.

A Energica Ego can accelerate to a speed of 240 kilometers per hour. In this printed out using an innovative laser technology items promise to be as strong and resistant to changes in temperature and humidity.

Vagina Kayak.

This is one of the most unusual vehicles worldwide. This small sport boat is the famous author of the Japanese artist named Megumi Igarashi, implemented by means of the money collected on one of kraudfandingovyh sites.

Unusual this kayak in that it repeats its forms appearance of the vagina of the above artist. For its production she photographed her bosom, made on the basis of a three-dimensional image model genitals, and then for a few days printed on the 3D-printer, a boat with these unusual forms. With the help of his project Megumi Igarashi wanted to break through the information blockade in Japan relative to the vagina. Indeed, the very mention of the female body in the media and public debate in the Land of the Rising Sun is considered unacceptable.

Urbee Hybrid.

Printed on the 3D-printer car. And the world's first full-fledged car was printed on a three-dimensional printer back in 2010, when the technologies were just beginning to develop. So the appearance of a car with the name Urbee Hybrid was a breakthrough in the field of 3D-printing.

Sulsa.

The world's first aircraft printed on the 3D-printer. Unfortunately, the world does not yet exist created using a three-dimensional printer, even small airplanes full of civil aviation. There are still only small pilot drones. The first of these aircraft was Sulsa, which appeared in the summer of 2011.

With the help of the printer was printed only body Sulsa. The engine was put on it separately. And, despite the fact that far Sulsa in size and functionality to these aircraft, the aircraft became the first "child» 3D-printer, without help raised in the space

The world's first rocket, printed on 3D-printer. NASA for several years on the three-dimensional printer prints the individual parts of missiles and space equipment, but it is too early to talk about creating similarly full of devices for flight to orbit the Earth.

Anyway, the bigger missiles that can bring a man into space or tons of payload. But the British team of scientists and engineers created using the 3D-printer miniature spacecraft. It is expected that this missile will be launched into orbit in late 2014. First, it will rise to a height of about 20 km of the balloon, and then will fly on their own. For a while speeding up the rate of 1,600 kilometers per hour.

Clothing-Transformer Which Will Replace The Suitcase

Now, going on a long journey, you can forget about the alarm about the bags that had been put into the luggage. Bulgarian designers offered a collection of multi-functional garment that combines the traditional functions of garments with functions suitcase.

Clothing transformers not imply the use of any technological developments in the "closet" fashionistas, but it solves the problem with hand luggage, which takes a lot of space and 'breaks' hands. Bag "embedded" in the person's clothing. This allows you to not use the luggage compartment, as the person is able to carry loads of up to ten pounds in clothes directly transformers.

Fancy clothes appreciate especially those who travel a lot. Firstly, in such clothes all that are required on the way will be in the literal sense, by hand, and secondly, clothing transformers allows minimizing costs for use of the luggage compartment. If the traveler decides to remove his jacket, then it can be folded into the built in the same article of clothing bag.

Designer John Power, at the presentation of his collection has said he aims to create clothes that would allow people to "all my carry", providing maximum comfort in travel.

The collection has huge variety of things: coats, jackets, tunics, dresses. The basic material for garments of this collection has become an eco-leather, so the wear-transformer is recognized more and truly "green." All products are made in three fabric solutions: a polyester skin and jeans. It is possible that the collection not quite meets the modern fashion trends, but these clothes are practical and environmentally friendly. The average cost of a single item of $ 70 collection.

Very Unusual Helmet Slowing Time

Helmet Decelerator is the original idea for the fight with the outside world too fussy. The owner of this devaysa called "Moderator" taken too fast, modern pace of life in slow rhythm.

[caption id="attachment_160" align="aligncenter" width="380"]unusual-helmet-stop-time Unusual Helmet[/caption]

Aluminum helmet Decelerator, superficially similar to the large mirrored sphere, invented by German student Lorenz Potthast (Lorenz Potthast). Inside is a display, which is broadcast from an external camera image. On the remote control, you can independently slow video playback.

Certainly, in such a helmet is not necessary to think, to cross the street, and wander through the city, probably, too problematic, although a matter of habit. However, what serves this device?

On the outside of the helmet is attached display, which they see around the image that the owner of this device. Helmet Decelerator is powered by a rechargeable battery.

As recognized by the Lorentz Potthasta, the first three minutes of testing in the helmet extreme feelings and very difficult to navigate in the outside world, but soon get used to it, and one does not want to part with this thing.

The inventor claims that the interest in the "retarder" began to show doctors. This device is supposedly able to help patients in need of physical rehabilitation. Help get rid of all the suffering hectic pace of modern life and the abundance of information tiring.

Electric Monocycle New Generation

Traditional four wheel vehicles, tricycles and bicycles to get around the city today is not relevant, I'm sure the creator of a new generation of electric monocycle. This unusual vehicle has portable size, easy and intuitive to operate. Fall, moving on it, it is simply impossible.

The young British engineer Marhold Austin (Austin Marhold) presented an unusual vehicle Self-balancing unicycle electric Urban Glider («City Glider").

Construction Urban Glider does not imply any steering, seating position and the traditional braking system. At first glance it may seem that the city glider designed for athletes and thrill seekers. But Austin Marhold uverzhdaet that it will be able to ride on each.Urban Glider on unicycle can go down the stairs, do any tricks and do not be afraid to fall. This is possible thanks to the fact that balancing monocycle use dynamic stabilization system that performs more than 1000 samples per second.

Minimalist vehicle consists of a wheel, the foot and motor power of 1500 watts. The kit includes the Urban Glider with soft silicone and kneepads. In order to move, the driver needs to tilt the housing body in the direction of movement. This will cause the glider to move. Slow down happens when deflected in the opposite side of the movement. Payload Urban Glider is 118 kg. It can reach speeds up to 25 km / h, and on a single charge to drive almost 35 miles.

Currently, the creator of Urban Glider raises funds for its production on one of kraudfandingovyh sites. You can select the bike odnokolёsny in green, pink, blue or yellow color.

The Concept of The Strongest Yacht In The World

132 meters this is the length of the new mega yacht designed by the talented architect Igor Lobanov. Draft vessel Star made the greatest sailor unusual manner: the most streamlined body resembles rather a space ship, how he saw the Soviet science fiction.

[caption id="attachment_51" align="aligncenter" width="368"]strogest-yacht Storngest Yacht[/caption]

And this is just the tip of the iceberg. This phrase can be understood almost literally. The yacht is not only super long, but also a super body rises above the waterline as much as 60 meters. The very same case is completely symmetric and spire, growing out of the center, it looks more than impressive.

Something likes a decision reminiscent of the Zaha Hadid. Yacht cannot; of course, be called plagiarism creativity talented Israeli architect in our time is called, rather, "was inspired." Considering that that itself Hadid has repeatedly appeared on the pages of magazines with thematic projects implemented superyachts, Star Lobanov could be called homage to one of the chief architects of this century.

According to the architect's plan, the yacht will receive as many as eight decks. Thus, the actual purpose of Star becomes a kind of a floating hotel of the highest level. The project takes into account all the features of the infrastructure "community house": here 36 cabins, several bars and lounges. Total yacht can accommodate about two hundred people. As the engine will (sooner or later) installed a diesel electric system Azipod. It will help accelerate the yacht to an impressive 18 knots, which is pretty serious for a hypothetical floating hotel.

Within a year he will be a program of rehabilitation of persons who have committed sexual offenses.

Internet Patrol

Indictments against Hansen the result of the Dutch non profit organization Terre des Hommes,

A group of four scientists working on the project for ten weeks in 2013, during the online communication they seemed Filipino girls.

Sometimes even the researchers used a virtual image of Sweetie for video chats.

Program manager Hans Guyt noted that he and his colleagues had always hoped that the police will use their data in their operations.

"Law enforcement is able to see now that the information that we supply to them, can be very useful," he said.

Guyt believes that the police should "patrol the Internet" in the search for potential criminals.

Flying Board from the Movie Will Soon Become a Reality

At the very least, a prototype of such a device can get those who did not spare $ 10 000 to support the development of Hendo Hover board online social investment Kick starter.
Predicted released in 1989, the movie "Back to the Future 2" of the invention to keep coming back to reality. Recall that the action film takes place in 2015. Not so long ago, were announced sneakers with laces samozavyazyvayuschimisya, and now it seems that in the New Year, we are waiting and flying boards.

[caption id="attachment_38" align="aligncenter" width="378"]flying-board Flying Board[/caption]

On a platform of social investments launched Kick starter to raise funds to launch production hover board HENDO, developed by a group of American engineers. They are already in the hands of working prototypes, which (for a certain fee) can drive anyone. Device hovers about 2-3 inches above the ground.
However, the board is able to fly only on a special magnetic coating. Engineers are going to start an ambitious program to "magnitizatsii" parks, where it will be possible to fly on board. Currently, developers are trying to find a way to reduce the cost of the materials used to a lower cost to cover large areas of the parks.
And all would be well, that's just as low hover board HENDO comparable priced car. For pre-order on Kick starter to buy a miracle-board can be for 10 000 dollars. To run the project, developers need to sell at least 25 boards to collect the required amount of $ 250 000.

The guidance system of anti tank missiles to diagnose malaria, Sounds like the ravings of a schizophrenic, but it's true equipment, created on the basis of thermal homing sensor used in anti-tank missiles that can detect malaria in the early stages of its development, which greatly increases the chances of the patient for a successful recovery. By combining the so-called lattice focal plane (one of the main elements of the sensor) with an infrared microscope, researchers from Monash University and the University of Melbourne were able to see the malaria parasite is actually in the "infancy" of age, within four minutes after they enter the red blood cells, and long before the appearance of a person outward signs of infection. It is worth noting that from malaria each year die from 1.3 to 3 million people (according to official data), therefore, the invention of Australian scientists can be called truly saving it is expected that its use will significantly reduce mortality from this dreaded disease.
