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.

The nissan iDx nismo and freeflow

Nissan has developed new concept cars the IDx Nismo and IDx Freeflow. However,  I was late in posting this article. The concept cars were showcased in 2013 at a motor show. The future production was scheduled between 2016 and 2018. Here are some pics of what is likely to be manufactured. The curves and edges make it sporty and similar to the Ford Mustang. Nissan IDx Freeflow  Pics from nissan usa The Nissan IDx Freeflow is a concept car introduced at the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show by Nissan.It is inspired by the Datsun 510.Expected production is between 2016 and 2018. The Nissan NISMO Pics from nissan usa The Nissan NISMO version will most likely produce 200-230 hp with its 1.6Litre engine.

He says, "It felt solid and chunky".i. e. The Nismo.

Irobot and the law of robotics. Do human-like robots exist?

I-robot was at the premier of movies when it was released in the year 2004. It bewildered, many a fan, including myself of how the future technology would look like plus the existence of robots, running almost equal or parallel lives with human beings. Perhaps, one century into the future, a possibility of self-driven cars and more flexible robots is a reality. Taking into mind those memoirs, I became quite interested and fascinated about the three laws written by Prof. Alfred Lenning in the movie Irobot in which Will Smith, a detective tries to unearth the meaning  of robots and their existence as a threat or benefit to humanity . I wanted to find out how it relates to robotics and physics. I-robot 1. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. 2. A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. 3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection d...

Intro I was running through some articles and happened to pass by the history of automobile inventions. I discovered some past events and people who pioneered our modern cars from Wikipedia. Did you know when and who caused the first accident or the creator of the first spark plug?How the first invention looked like? Continue reading to find out more..  Nicolas-Joseph Cugnot first automobile invention and first car accident  In 1768, the first steam-powered automobile capable of human transportation was built by Nicolas-Joseph Cugnot. In 1770, a full-size version of the  fardier à vapeur was built, specified to be able to carry 4 tons and cover (7.8 km or 4.8 miles) in one hour, a performance it never achieved in practice.
