Bike or car? Project 2 and 4



I was thinking about bike cars and a documentary about them from dw tv which highlighted the revolutionary bike cars. They are aimed at reducing emissions and single transit of an individual to shorter distances. I was surprised to come around the news about bike cars. In particular a racing Ferrari-like car that is both bike and a car. The Project 2&4 concept.

It is also the winner of  Honda design competition involving engineers and designers from both motorcycle and automotive studios.

The concept is powered by a 999cc v4 engine. It has an rpm of 14000 ( revolution per minute: a measure of the frequency of rotation which is the number of rotations around a fixed axis per minute  and is a measurement of rotational speed of a mechanical component) which when calculated with torque(how strong an automobile is) calculates to around 211bph (break horsepower :how fast work can be done using the power).The clutch is a 6 speed dual transmission.

Producing electricity from roads

A mexican scientist Marcias Hernandez has developed a system through which can help generate electricity using automobiles. The concept he developed is not new because other methods exists but is cheaper and less complicated. Other conventional methods have been using  pizoelectric effect to generate electrity. Energy is driven from the stress exerted by moving vehicles. The energy is then coverted into electricity and stored in batteries by the roadside. Marcias new invention involves the use of trumps, which moving vehicles exert pressure when running over a polymer ramp. Air is then forced at high pressure into a storage tank via hose pipes where it is stored and released. When it accumulates, it drives a turbine built underground. The turbine will then use this kinetic energy to be converted into electric energy by the generators. Israel has already constructed such a road system that is able to generate electricity.

Laptop with 1.3kg weight: HP spectre x360 specs.

The HP Spectre x360 is a laptop which is not only eye catching and entertaining but also powerful. It boasts of the 7th generation Kaby Lake CPU processor with 16GB of RAM and 512GB Harddisk. This ensures higher efficiency and speed when playing video games, using the internet and processing data. The performance of the CPU is enhanced with Intel HD Graphics 620 supporting a resolution of 1920x1080. Why the kaby lake Intel 7th generation processor? It has an average CPU clock speed base clock of 4.0GHZ and turbo boost clock of 4.5GHZ. Why the Intel HD Graphics 620? It depends on the 64 bit DDR3/DDR4 memory for it's cache and is compatible with the kaby lake processor.Moreover it has an overall speed of 1050 MHZ for graphic processing on the 4k ultra HD screen with 8million pixels. Why it is the best laptop? The laptop not only comes with the best speakers (Bang & Olufsen) but also an extra speaker at the bottom of the laptop. That makes it three speakers for optimal and enhance...
