The world’s largest simulator

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sun, 6 May 2012 04:57:00 -0700

Tired of playing Racing simulators on your PC or Xbox? This thing is just for you Toyota has build the world’s largest driving simulator located at Toyota’s Higashifuji Technical Centre in Japan. This driving simulator puts a real vehicle inside a virtual-reality dome which serves as a giant 360-degree video screen. As virtual driving begins, the dome, which sits upon an elevated platform, tilts and vibrates while the platform glides across an area of four tennis courts.

As a result, the driving simulator provides realistic driving sensations like a sense of speed, deceleration and turns and other driving maneuvers. The purpose of such a simulator is to provides one of the world’s most-realistic simulated driving environments, allowing driving habits and reactions to be accurately gauged. It will mainly be used to analyze driving characteristics under such conditions as falling asleep at the wheel and drowsiness, glancing from side to side and not checking that the road is safe, fatigue or illness, as well as developing active safety technology for effectively reducing the number of accidents.

Car the future

Guy Negre is a former Formula One motor racingengineer who has turned his attention to buildingclean cars. The Frenchman is the father of the Air Car, a car that runs on compressed air and could revolutionize the auto industry.

If a car that runs on air sounds like a pipe dream that could never reach mass production, think again. In India, Tata Motors has already signed an agreement to begin building the cars, and pre-production begins in 2008. In the U.S., Zero Pollution Motors has an agreement to build theAir Car. ZPM started taking orders in 2008 for delivery of cars in 2010. According to the ZPM website, the US version of the car will have a maximum speed of 96 mph, a range of 848 miles, and get the equivalent of 106 mpg. Zero Pollution Motors currently estimates the car will sell for $17,800.

If it lives up to its promise, the car could become popular with anyone looking for better fuel mileage and less pollution. Since the Air Car runs on compressed air stored in tanks like scuba divers use, it emits only air at speeds less than 35 mph. And the air expelled from the tail pipe is actually cleaner than the air used to fill the tank, according to the ZPM website. “This is because before compression, the air is run through carbon filters to eliminate dirt, dust, humidity, and other urban air impurities that could hamper the engine’s performance,” the site says.

At speeds over 35 mph, the car will use small amounts of fuel, but ZPM says the car will still emit “only 0.141lbs of CO2 per mile. That is up to 4 times less than the average vehicle and more than two times less than the cleanest vehicle available today.”

This car can run 200km without polluting the atmosphere and the best thing is you can fill her up for just $1.50′s worth of compressed air.

Amazing bus advertising

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 30 Apr 2012 21:54:00 -0700

Few cool buses painted with various ads are very interesting. More, advertising is everywhere… why not on buses too? From seafood and Pepsi ads to anti-smoking and driving campaigns, all can find their place on a bus – a bus that takes us to school, to work, to a park. etc and in most cases we don't even notice the way it looks. But a bus like the ones in these funny or weird pictures are hard to miss.

Wonderful Moller Skycar

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sat, 28 Apr 2012 02:53:00 -0700

Traffic jams - a thing of the past? Not a dream anymore…

In 1940, Henry Ford, Chairman, Ford Motor Company said: “Mark my word: A combination airplane and motorcar is coming. You may smile. But it will come…” And now it’s here, as he predicted… the ideal car…not yet for sale, but soon. It’s not a Star Trek gadget, it’s the new Moller Skycar, M400. The Moller Skycar is the most dreamed “flying car”, a prototype for a personal vertical take-off and landing aircraft of Paul Moller, who has been attempting to develop such vehicles for many years. The M400, which seems to be still under development, is intended to provide four seats and is known as a car since it is aimed to become one of the most popular means of transport for anyone who can drive. It is a real wonder as no pilot knowledge is required ( this smart car will have automated flight controls incorporated) – the driver must only input direction and speed. The price for the first Moller Skycars is expected to be close to USD $1 million, but it will finally drop to one of a quality car, as it will have incorporated inexpensive Wankel rotary engines.

Beautiful Dekotora Trucks

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 26 Apr 2012 05:16:00 -0700

…. also known as Decoration Trucks or Art Trucks. Widely spread in Japan, these trucks are usually impressively decorated, on the outside as well on the inside, with all kinds of neons or ultraviolet lights, extravagant paint jobs, and shiny stainless or golden exterior parts. These aren’t your typical truck accessories for sure. They ask not only a lot of time and work, but probably a lot of money also…

How to survive

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sun, 22 Apr 2012 03:09:00 -0700

This is a list of the most important things to remember if you are shipwrecked. The list comes from Yan Martel’s prize-winning novel, Life of Pi.

1. Always read instructions carefully

2. Do not drink urine. Or sea water. Or bird blood

3. Do not eat jellyfish. Or fish that have spikes. Or fish that have parrot like beaks. Or that puff up like balloons.

4. Pressing the eyes of fish will paralyse them

5. The body can be heroic in battle; if a castaway is injured, beware of well-meaning, but ill-founded, medical treatment. Ignorance is the worst doctor, while rest and sleep are the best nurses.

6. Put your feet up at least 5 minutes every hour

7. Unnecessary exertion should be avoided. But an idle mind tends to sing, so the mind should be kept occupied with whatever light distraction may suggest itself. Playing card games, twenty questions and I spy are excellent distractions.

8. Green water is shallower than blue water

9. Beware of far-off clouds that look like mountains. Look for green. Ultimately, a foot is the only good judge of land.

10. Do not go swimming. It wastes energy. Besides, a survival craft may drift faster than you can swim. Not to mention the danger of sea life. If you are hot, wet your clothes instead.

11. Do not urinate in your clothes. The momentary warmth is not worth the nappy rash.

12. Shelter yourself. Exposure can kill faster than thirst or hunger.

13. As long as no excessive water is lost through perspiration, the body can survive up to 14 days without water. If you are thirsty, suck a button.

14. Turtles are an easy catch and make for excellent meals. Their blood is a good, nutritious, salt-free drink; their flesh is tasty and filling; their fat has many uses; and the castaway will find turtle eggs a real treat. Mind the beak and the claws.

15. Don’t let your morale flag. Be daunted but not defeated. Remember: the spirit, above all else, counts. If you have the will to live, you will. Good luck!

Weird electric car Eliica

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Fri, 20 Apr 2012 02:45:00 -0700

It is one of the most elegant concept cars I've seen. Designed by a team at Keio University in Tokyo, led by Professor Hiroshi Shimizu, the car appeared a few years ago and caught everyone's attention. Powered by a Lithium-Ion battery, Eliica is not only one of the most interesting prototypes in the world, but also the fastest electric Sedan. The body of the four door car has a futuristic, bullet shape design which was tested in a wind tunnel. The front doors open forward and the rear doors open upward like wings. The car's platform contains 4 tracks of 80 batteries, which make for one third of the vehicle's cost. They currently require about 10 hours of recharging from empty to full charge, and can be easily charged off of a residential power grid. "We are talking about something like watches — a machine combining motors and batteries. As its price can fall quickly in the future, we think it's important to establish a superb brand image first," Hiroichi Yoshida told AFP.
