Electric Car that Can Power the Home

The car is named Grid charger and it is the brain child of designer Robert Marvin. This grid car is a high performance family car that runs silently with green energy.

To each wheel of the car there is an electric motor. The motors include a regenerative braking system so whenever the driver applies the break the power is generated. This is an interesting point to be noted.

It is noted that the vehicle appearance is like a steam turbine and is designed to have an aero dynamic of a super car. This grid charger is also fuel efficient. Since the steam turbine needs water the designer have decided to place a water tank at the back of the rear seat.

Though drive for a long time the car consumes only a low amount of fuel and when you park the vehicle outside your house it can be used to power it.

World's Smallest Twin Engine Airplane

The smallest twin engine airplane weights about 158 pounds and has a wingspan of about 16 feet. It runs on two 15 horse power engine and can travel at a speed of about 120 mph. The plane can also do aerobatics. The plane is named as Cri-Cri (this is a French word meaning cricket).

Prepare your car

Mechanic check your car on the following items:

The antifreeze levels should be checked to ensure that are enough to avoid freezing.

The battery and the ignition system should be good in condition and clean.

In the brakes check for the wear and tear levels and also for the fluids.

Check for leaks.

Check the fuel and air filters. Maintain a full tank of gas.

Make sure that the heater and the defroster work properly.

Check the lights and flashing hazards lights for serviceability

Check for oil level and weight.

Confirm that the thermostat work properly.

Fit a winter emergency kit in each car that includes:

• A shovel
• windshield scraper and small broom
• flashlight
• battery powered radio
• extra batteries
• water
• snack food
• matches
• extra hats, socks and mittens
• First aid kit with pocket knife
• Necessary medications
• blanket(s)
• tow chain or rope
• road salt and sand
• booster cables
• emergency flares
• fluorescent distress flag

World’s fastest train

Last weekend saw the invention of the most and ever high speed train in china. The new high speed passenger train can arrive at a speed of 217m/h with a top speed up to 250 m/h.

The new train will operate from Chinese city of Wuhan to Guangzhou in the south reducing the travel time from 9 hours to 3 hours. The new train is expected to act as a catalyst for the developing Chinese.

The train technology is based on the bullet train methodology. This is the ever longest and fastest train the Chinese history. The train has been constructed in four years time at the cost of $15 billion.

Air car

Air car uses the motor which is powered by the compressed air. The car can operate only with the help of air and it can be combined with gasoline, diesel, ethanol, or regenerative braking electric plant.

Engines

The engines in the compressed car use the compressed air that is stored in the tank at a high pressure of about 30 MPa. Air car uses the expansion of the compressed air in the similar way to the expansion of the steam engine. The storage tanks are made with the help of carbon fiber to reduce the weight.

Storage tanks

The manufactures of the air car have taken many safety features in to the containers. The containers are non flammable. The carbon fibers safely hold the air at a pressure level around 4500 psi which makes them comparable to the steel ones.

Pontiac G6

Pontiac G6 is a mid-size car that was produced by the American automaker under the brand name of Pontiac. The car was introduced 2004. The car was built on the platform of GM Epsilon.

In 2006 the new car was added with two trim level and new body styles. The new model car has a 167 horsepower and 2.4L DOHC. It also has a sunroof option. The new model car is has highway safety. It has gained a good score in the frontal offset crash test. And an acceptable score in the side impact crash test. The score of these tests depend on the marginal ratings of the structure and safety.
