These kind of rockets are more efficient and require less fuel than traditional chemical rockets. Very usefull in space. Infinity and beyond!
The Second Solar spaceship, designed by Different Futures and constructed for the Sensapolis fun park earlier this year, is a three-level, 850 sq m interactive replica of a real shuttle, albeit one better suited to exploration of the cognitive rather than the galactic variety. The interior of the installation, which includes a 3-D cinema, a Read more about Second Solar spaceship[…]
The GTbyCITROEN – is what happens when car makers collaborate with computer game makers. Want a Citroen now.
Satellite Propulsion Research Ltd (SPR Ltd) a small UK based company, has demonstrated a remarkable new space propulsion technology. The company has sucessfully tested both an experimental thruster and a demonstrator engine which use patented microwave technology to convert electrical energy directly into thrust. No propellant is used in the conversion process. Thrust is produced Read more about Emdrive[…]
The X2 is a high speed helicopter, instead of a transport jet that can hover. They expect it to go around 260 kts, which is around 100 kts faster than current helicopters and 45 kts faster than the current world record.
While most crazy fast concept cars use aerodynamics to keep the wheels firmly planted on the ground, designer Iman Maghsoudi has taken the opposite tack with his wild Ferrari Monza concept. Once you reach a predetermined speed, an onboard computer changes the car’s aerodynamic profile, using winglets called canards ahead of the front wheels to Read more about Stunning Ferrari Monza concept is ready for takeoff[…]
The Electraflyer is an electric aircraft. And why not?!
The RRL is having it’s first race ever on 1/2 august in Oshkosh. These guys aren’t flying planes – they’re flying rockets!
Awesome!
Bell is launching it’s civilian version of the V-22 Osprey, the 609. It has a 700 mile range and more speed than a helicopter, but can land on the top of buildings.
The original car was a pile of shit in terms of weight, speed, reliability, etc. but was fantastic in one respect: Looks! Anyway, they’re now in production again in the USA, so for around $60K you can have a new one!
By tinkering with a petrol engine he’s managed to increase the efficiency of the engine to 38% (usual is around 9 / 10%) without sacrificing performance. Unusually he doesn’t want to sell his technique, he wants to win an X-prize with it and have it available for the world as an aftermarket product. He’s afraid Read more about Engineer Gets 110 MPG Out Of ’87 Mustang[…]
This electric car prototype will do 0-60 mph in 3.07 s – and they expect the production car to be a whole load better. I hope they manage to get the gearbox to hold up!
These modellers are a bit crazy, but the model aircraft are really nicely built. They have jet engines and some of the aircraft have cameras installed as well. The link has a huge gallery of these beautiful hand made replicas as well as a movie
Strange one this. A man had built his own flying car, described as “a go-kart with a propeller attached” and crashed it into some powerlines. The future is now!
ESA PR 15-2008. Jules Verne, the first of the European Space Agency%u2019s Automated Transfer Vehicles (ATV), a new series of autonomous spaceships designed to re-supply and re-boost the International Space Station (ISS), was successfully launched into low Earth orbit by an Ariane 5 vehicle this morning. It’s around 3 times as large as the US Read more about Europe launches its first re-supply ship to the ISS[…]
Cyclogyro’s fly by rotating wings as though they were the paddles on an ancient steamers. The idea is old, but no prototype has ever flown, untill now. Very bizarre.
The car door dissappears by rotating underneath the car. A totally different way of getting out of the car. The youtube film is nice.
This very cool looking BJ will hit speeds of mach 1.6. It can fly without a sonic boom over populated areas at mach 1.1. This will be the world’s first supersonic BJ. Due to it’s handling charecteristics and size, it will also be able to land on just about any concrete airfield.
These guys used to run a gym and have created a fighter style aerobatic jet that does the business. You buy it in kit form for $800,000.
This guy has used stock parts to upgrade a Chevy Impala from 250 to 800 horsepower and decrease it’s consumption to 25 mpg. He’s now planning on a Hummer Hybrid where a jet engine spins up the juice. He reckons he can make it go from 300 to 600 hp and get 60 miles per Read more about Daily Kos: Doing what Detroit says is impossible[…]
OK, well it’s more of a flying moped, but still, it’s nice to see he’s finally got the M200G Volantor in production. No it’s not the skycar thing, it looks like a flying saucer. It flies 3m off the ground and goes around 50 mph. They’ll cost around EUR. 50,000 which isn’t too bad for Read more about Moller Flying Car Finally in Production[…]
The Sonex is powered by 80 lithium polymer batteries and has a flight time of 45 minutes. Sonex / AeroConversions expect to be able to extend that to an hour. It seats two and will be “vastly less expensive than other things out there.”
EADS showcased a model of it’s airplane looking space rocket, which they hope will fly in 2012 and take passengers up at EUR 150,000 – 200,000. They see a big market in this and want some of it. Very coincidental how the pricing is similar to the Burt Rutan Spaceship One / Virgin Galactic prices.
