FLYING CAR

2009-05-28T09:47:00.000-07:00

A flying car or roadable aircraft is a vehicle which can travel on roads and in the air. It is both an aircraft and an automobile. All the working examples have required some manual or automated process of conversion between the two modes of operation.

A slightly different concept that is sometimes referred to as a "Flying car", particularly in science fiction, is that of an aircraft that would be practical enough for every day travel, but would not necessarily be drivable on the roads.

“Where are the flying cars?! They promised me flying cars!” That was the infamous lament of actor Avery Brooks in a popular IBM commercial a few years back and he has a point. Where are the flying cars? Well, we’ve seen many announcements that they’re coming with the most famous is the Moller Sky Car. Now it seems that with losing over 40 million in development costs, even Moller executives are leery about the prospects for the future of their flying car.

The handwriting for Moller has been on the wall for awhile now. With promises of production right around the corner and countless delays, it wasn’t looking good for the M400. Even with a listing in the famous Neiman-Marcus catalog - the exclusive department store of the rich and famous - the skycar with a $100,000 price tag hasn’t generated enough presale interest. After which, a major warning sign came when Moller auctioned the M400 prototype on eBay to help pay it’s mounting debts. But that failed to generated the needed 3.5 million dollar minimum bid.

Still, even though the publicly traded company posted an $80,000 loss for last quarter, that is substantially down from the nearly half million lost the previous quarter. Still, the technical hurdles the Moller M400 has to surmount are extremely daunting. The M400 relies on a computer controlled autopilot, and 8 new rotary engines which rotate for a change in axis of flight from forward to hover. The same tilt rotor development nightmare that nearly killed the V22 Osprey.

And with such a vast amount of money lost in development, executives of the flying car company now say that without a substantial infusion of cash to continue operations it’s highly unlikely the Moller M400 will ever take to the skies. Which means the closest anyone may get to it, is either reading about it in a Clive Cussler novel or seeing the prototype some day gathering dust in the Smithsonian Air & Space collection.

SmartBeam in BMW

Mercedes-Benz want to create as closely as possible riding comfort, along with dynamic consolidation of security and economic consumption and the level of emissions in a safe environment. The focus is combining petrol and diesel engine and hybrid system with the cleaning gas discharge of ultra-modern.

Dr. Thomas Weber, member of the Board of Management of DaimlerChrysler AG responsible for research and technology development group and introduce two Mercedes Direct Hybrid concept car and BlueTec Hybrid inaugural exhibition at the International Motor Show (IAA) 2005 in Frankfurt, Germany.

By using the latest series S-Class as an example, Mercedes exhibit unique creation to brake emissions and increase fuel consumption that striking in the future, but also to protect the comfort berkendaran that have a high dynamic.

"For the concept in the future the aim is to make cars that use fuel as efficiently as using diesel, and cars that use diesel fuel as efficiently as using," added Dr. Thomas Weber.

For a car engine that uses gasoline, which is emphasized in reducing fuel consumption. With second-generation, fuel system needle spray-guided direct, engine on Mercedes-Benz can achieve a vital innovation that could help save fuel. Currently used on the 3.5 liter V6 engine, this technology has been implemented on the latest series S-Class. This vehicle combines electric motors with a power play that high (high-torque) as a hybrid DIRECT.

Since starting introduced a special filter device as standard, the task of diesel engines is the limit of a very strict disposal once applied all over the world on nitrogen oxides emissions, in addition to the saving of fuel. Nitrogen oxides at this time be the only component of the gas still be thrown in a number of relatively large by comparison with the diesel engine gasoline engine.

Goal to achieve low level emissions have been implemented and started with the concept car based on the Hybrid BLUETEC diesel engine 3-liter V6 in the latest series S-Class than the electric motor combine high turn-out.

BLUETEC become the core element of the success of this system, as the discharge of gas purification technology that can reduce nitrogen oxides by about 80 percent of Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR). BLUETEC technology makes this hybrid into a clean diesel engine in the world.

Both systems in the concept car introduced at the Frankfurt motor eletrik as a combination of engine in, which is then called mild hybrids (hybrid light). This allows a decrease in fuel consumption significantly from the propellant engine optimized, especially in the area stop-and-go traffic or an area that often requires us to stop, especially in the way of compact vehicles.

Engine burner can be turned off when we do not need them anymore. However, the combination of engine and burner electric motor equipped with a lap could be moved higher in the same time to ensure the full strength and with the smooth when running.

Moreover, the electric motor akan restore energy when the car go slowly and brake. This combination of features allows the 20 percent reduction in fuel consumption in BLUETEC Hybrid compared to the preceding model, or about 25 per cent reduction in the "DIRECT Hybrid."

Two systems is not only to give a dynamic performance, but also parsimonious fuel emission standards than the world that is known is very strict about the impact of pollution generated per vehicle.

The system's vision of S320 BLUETEC Hybrid combines KW/243 output of 179 hp and 575 Nm of combined rotation (torque). Cars can dipercepat way from zero to 100 km / hour in 7.2 seconds and reaches a top speed of 250 km / hour.

This car is very sparing use of fuel, fuel mengkomsumsi only about 7.7 liters of fuel per 100 km. The same value for the car model Mercedes-Benz S 350 DIRECT Hybrid is 221kw/300 hp, 395 Nm, 7.5 seconds, 250 km / hour and 8.3 liters per 100 km.

Captiva 2.0 VDCi

2009-04-17T03:24:00.000-07:00

Captiva VDCi motorized 2.0 liter diesel with common rail technology that is not spoiled, as the Captiva diesel SUV family that vigorous, responsive and smooth.

Physically, there is no significant difference with the gasoline version, except machinery and VCDi Emblem in front of the door. Engine used is the new generation with a combination of diesel common rail technology, direct injection, variable turbine geometry. The result is engine power can produce maximum 150hp/4000rpm and torsi 320Nm/2000rpm. As a benchmark Captiva 2.4 liter gasoline (144ps/220Nm), Ford Everest 2.5 liter (110ps/27.3kgm) and Toyota Fortuner 2.5 liter (102 ps / 26.5kgm). In the Fortuner, torsi peak can be more in the first 1600rpm.

FA Suwadji Wirjono, After Sales Director PT GMAWI said, kurva torsi peak diesel Captiva stretch between 2000-3200rpm. "So, drivers get torsi on top and on the wide range of engine cycles that are often used," he said after the launch of this model in South Jakarta, on Wednesday (16 / 4).

Kurva torsi this excess is so modern diesel engine. Unlike gasoline, where the peak torsi only lap at one point only, in the modern diesel rentangnya wider so that the car feels more responsive and nippy, even in the lower rounds.

This diesel engine using common rail technology with a second-generation pressure 1600bar. This is far from that usually diesel 200psi. This means that diesel flowed through the common rail tekannya increased up to 1600 times or 1600bar pressure atmosphere.

With the pressure of the expected fuel injector that disemprotkan into fuel in the form of a very fine / fog (holes injektor size 0.02mm) so that the perfect combustion occurs. According to Bosch, the supplier site in the common-rail system-Captiva this technology to create more clean diesel engine emisinya, more economical, more forceful and not noisy.

Fuel supply system that will not result in the ignition when it is not perfect combination with the oxygen supply system is also mumpuni. Captiva using turbo diesel with variable turbine geometry features.

Known as the turbo is to increase the concentration of oxygen into the fuel space. Increased oxygen needs of the high-round machine, "Imagine, in the lap machine 6000rpm, one combustion cycle takes only 0:02 seconds. And it must be perfect, from the steps hisap, compression, expansion, and dispose of," said Suwadji again. "To be perfect, the only way the air is forced in," he added.

In the regular turbo, kompressor lap linier are appropriate amount of pressure to play a waste of gas turbine blade. So when the high pressure gas, lap kompressor also high, so vice versa. In the variable turbine turbo, turbine blade angle changed so that the gas pressure can dispose of the same play strip kompressor faster again. "Analoginya screen as the boat. The bigger the screen, the faster perahunya," said Suwadji.

The size of the turbine blade angle is the electronic control module, the brain system car, depending on the speed and load the car. So can the high-speed, high lap machine, blade is closed because it was passing down the road with only one passenger only. Instead, the load weight, angle turbine blade can be opened wide as closely as possible to utilize the waste gas that is to play kompressor before going to get a perfect burn extra energy.

Harmonization of the supply of fuel and combustion air produces perfect. Engine more forceful, more responsive and soot emissions is pressed. Effects of vibration in order to muffle engine noise and diesel GM engines balancer install and dual mass flywheel.

Back issue of fuel, this sophisticated system ideally get fuel that has low sulfur contents. Because of the high sulfur contents, such as solar, often causing clogged injector.

Injector clogged causing the ignition and the engine is not perfect so lame. The use of regular diesel engines also reduce performance in other words the peak energy and torsi akan lower than normal conditions. Similarly, with emissions that disemburkan. This is because the uterus higher sulfur and cetane number (the calories are the fuel) is lower.

GMAWI, the guarantee Captiva Diesel ok with only local solar. This is based on the experience of using the Chevrolet Colorado pickup diesel in Indonesia since May 2007. Colorado has a diesel engine with the same technology, just more capacity, 2.5 liter. Colorado has been in trials with various types of diesel fuel throughout the country. GMAWI own just to test captive diesel about 5000km from the target 50000km. Based on experience with the Colorado, the diesel engine does not have a problem means.

But as a step antisipatif, GMWI prepare a special action. Every 15000km akan injector cleaned of the remaining combustion. Cleared by using ultrasonic waves. Then, in a special test on the equipment to find out whether the quality of the spray is to meet the standard. Fuel filter is also replaced every 15.000 km. While the tank will be cleaned every 30.000 km. "It's not improvement, but antisipatif step.

ZF Gearbox

2009-04-17T03:00:00.000-07:00

Under a new owner, Tata Motors, Jaguar and Land Rover run a series of changes and new innovations. Two leading car manufacturer, this original English berkeputusan participate ramaikan exchanges environmentally friendly vehicles.

Jaguar and Land Rover vehicles with a design center kitchen berteknologi spur hybrid. Later, all the output two-vehicle manufacturer, this machine will handle a mix of engines based on fuel and electric motor.

Scheduled, car production and Jaguar Land Rover at five years, the whole plant has hybrid.

Officials at Tata Motors is also the engine operates a hybrid production system that is integrated with one another with a very complex module.

The first step, to design and build the system of ignition and stopping the engine will be part of the engine car generations to come. For the conventional engine, Jaguar and Land Rover still retain the number one engine, 2.7 and 3.0 liter turbo diesel.

The second step, the clutch and gearbox system is more sophisticated. Called 8-speed ZF gearbox with eight high speed. Clutch and gerbox is different from the automatic gearbox and clutch 6-speed level that is now widely used in hybrid cars in general. Tata Motors claims, clutch 8 speed ZF gearbox more complex and sophisticated.

The engineers also designed the Jaguar ZF's Dynastart the electric motor replaces the function of a partner for this
engine unit in the conventional hybrid engine. ZF 'Dynastart designed machines capable of changing conditions on the direct kovensional
the position of full electric without the converter, such as now.

Land Rover more inclined to make hybrid engine that is simpler. With the diesel engine combines with a motor that has a capacitor and is able to share power and release of electric loads quickly. My Land Rover does not mention how quickly the process of charging the battery.

FCX Clarity

2009-04-17T02:53:00.000-07:00

Japan's leading car manufacturer, Honda Motor Co. launched its immediate environment-friendly car with a performance better than conventional cars. As scheduled energy blue car called Honda FCX clarity this market began to enter the United States and Japan the end of 2008.

Two years ago the car was exhibited at the International Motor Show, Jakarta. When exhibited clarity Honda FCX concept car entry category of the future. And the Honda was not able to give a clear schedule beremisi zero when the car is entering the market.

This green car, according to Honda Motor Co. will be sold to the market in a limited number of days in July in California, the United States and in Japan before the end of this year. Although the HMC is able to sell tens of units FCX clarity in a year and could sell about 200 units within three years.

Main obstacle in bulk sales is the price that is still very expensive. Other factors such as lack of infrastructure charging station hydrogen fuel cell (primary fuel).

Honda FCX clarity that rely on hydrogen as the source of this machine be regarded sparingly. Cargo H2 5000-psi can travel 270 miles distance. Power produced 100 kW and torsi 256 Nm/189 lb.ft. Honda FCX clarity claim levels have doubled the efficiency of hybrid electric car and three times more efficient conventional cars.

Machine-based Honda FCX clarity V Flow stack. This machine combines the lithium ion batteries and hydrogen as an energy source. Best performance obtained when the energy reaches 100 kilowatt. At this phase of the engine acceleration lap middle to high car feels very forceful. This four-door sedan capable dipacu up to 100 mph. Engine has performed well when the temperature goes below 22 degrees Fahrenheit.

Additional energy obtained from energy kinetik braking or acceleration reduction, known as regenerative Braking. Thrust front of the car to turn into a surplus electric energy stored in lithium ion battery pack.

Emissions that are issued by vehicle-zero-emisions-this is just water or hydrogen. The CO2 that is removed from the car only comes from the process of hydrogen into electrical energy in which the carbon dioxide produced from natural gas from the chemical is not harmful (petrol) with the amount of CO2 produced by far the conventional engine.

Not only zero-emission diunggulkan that, in terms of the type of display clarity four-door sedan is also the design of the future of Honda with the nose portion and a lower cabin space wide enough for the family and the goods carried. And maintain that carried the theme, Honda also coat the interior of the door and use the plant based anti-expansion and hot sun with the extraordinary vitality of the Honda Bio-Fabric-development.

Navigation technology to track the location of "Pom hydrogen" nearest, adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Collision Mitigation Brake System (CMBS), premium sound system and also features a Bluetooth standard.

In addition to showing in the forefront of developing fuel cell technology, Honda FCX also features a breakthrough in a vehicle. This car is equipped with biometric sensors and smart cameras that can identify the driver profile and automatically adjust the various functions of the vehicle according to the optimal position of director.

In the drivers approaching the vehicle, automatically locks the car doors will open. Computer system will also adjust the position of wheel, gas pedal, and instrument panel in accordance with the optimal position of director.

Terrible, the instrument panel will automatically move up and down in the corner of 45 degrees to adjust the speed of the vehicle. Sensor system that is installed in the instrument panel is able to catch the drivers line of vision to a variety of menu icons, allowing drivers to set up the audio, AC, and others are hands-free.

BMW GINA

2009-04-17T02:45:00.000-07:00

BMW to create a new breakthrough in the automotive world. Creative design team from the car manufacturer based in Munich Germany has designed a leather body no longer take the metal and paint. Instead of cloth. Whole body terbalut cloth.

Chris Bangle, Director Design BMW Group, explains the car berbaju cloth is given the name Gina. Acronym of Geometry and Functions In "N" Adaptions. Appropriate body the name can be changed to adapt to the environment

accordance with the wishes of the owner easily. Simply press the button. Model and dent the car was changed. Fantastic!.

Gina, are presented not just as a normal car concept. Mahakarya but is that really mengusung taste BMW. Have not shown a model like this before. Gina actually appear with the fresh design.

The BMW designers explore the freedom to create ideas for the pair on every detail of design eksteriornya. But still maintain the typical appearance front and back of the BMW. Such as grill.

The entire operation is done electrically, including opening and closing the door. Door does not open in the conventional, sideways. But mendongak to top.

Gina is designed with a unity of the body so less visible fold line. Whole movement of the car exterior, such as doors, engine covers, headlight mill elegant without cleft shows the fold.

Material materials using fiber that claimed more flexible and robust. Through the flexible material on the particular car can be driven electrically using hydraulic control to change the form.

Roof and close the engine (engine hood) away from the conventional concept car. On the engine cover to clear a line or a snippet in the middle. To treat machines, right on the line, will move sideways and split hood up to 50 cm into two parts.

Headlight (the primary) will automatically be concealed if it is not switched on. When switched on, the metal as the proponent will be moving to encourage the swell.

The BMW designers are still not satisfied with the radical exterior changes. They still menelorkan imajinasinya on the interior. When the car diparkir, rudder, spedometer, panel and instrument-panel will form a horizontal position. This position makes it easier to take a very comfortable position at the entrance and exit the car. Director position is also comfortable at the position, half-asleep.

This car is driven spur kitchen with 8-cylinder rear wheel drive system this. . Perhaps, BMW Gina is a car designed with the highest taste at this time.

OneCAT

2009-04-17T02:34:00.000-07:00

The engineers developing the car en English forceful air. They promised within a few years, car water power began enter its market. Claimed that the car is equipped with environmentally friendly wind or "of fuel" the air.

The designer to name a car with five seats, the OneCAT. Car body is built from fiber glass. Because the car only has 350 kg of empty west. Cost bangunnya design also relatively low, not more than 2500 Pounds Sterling.

That distinguishes with other environmentally friendly car (hybrid) car is not driven or electric batteray. Instead bertekanan air. Air bertekanan this comes from the engine compressor is stored in a carbon fiber tank. Integrates with the tank designed chasis.

To fill the tank full of air is only required Watu not less than three minutes. Faster than the filling batteray car even though the charge is also quick. Volume of air tank capable of running the vehicle up to four hours.

To cover travel, the car has a fuel booster burner that will burn or blow up the air. This explosion will push the water Pistons bertekanan that the Pistons. Fuel burner is able to work well for all types of fuel oil.

"When dikendarai in the city, the car is driven air bertekanan. Fuel burner used if new to town or need a high speed,'' 'said Gyu Negre, the inventor of the French nationality.

Negre believes the car will be much peminat. Given the more environmentally friendly. Incentive condition that is now required in continental Europe. "The car buyer is that they are very concerned about the environment, 'he said.

Research and further development of the program the car with water power is obtained sponsorship from Tata Motors India. According to Tata Motors Negre only a very enthusiastic on this project.

Compensation obtained Tata, continued in the India-based company has the right to make and market 0neCAT in India.

This is still the main question of this car is a sense of security. In the front passenger seat and will sit in my car on the air tank bertekanan high. How happens when tanks explode?

The other, how the car will pass this test considering the security structure bodinya awakened from fiber glass.

Lamborghini Murcielago

2009-04-16T05:41:00.000-07:00

If you are watching the Dark Knight? Certainly not the only action Batman and Joker that you see, but also in technology, one of Bruce Wayne car mount, Lamborghini Murcielago. This futuristic car stealing attention when dikebut Batman Gotham City in the streets, and so one of the supercar that will belong to the Audi R8 Ironman.

Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 is not only cruel and split off in the streets of Gotham, but also so the car performed best this summer.

THE Dark Knight is the film itself that Warner Bros. has just released, the arrest Heath Ledger as the Joker. This film also dibintangi by Maggie Gyllenhaal and Aaron Eckhart is also a role in Batman begins in 2005. Meanwhile, Christian Bale returns as the miliuren portray Bruce Wayne, Michael Caine as Alfred, Gary Oldman as James Gordon, and Morgan Freeman as Lucius Fox.

Christopher Nolan, the director who also use to Batman begins again menggandeng Nathan Crowley as production designer who designed the vehicle to the hero, as he charged aspects of the use to design the other in this film. Crowley own very excited to serve something else, something different with the Lambo in the film.

For that, he wanted some of the options that the car will be exhibited in some scene in the film that never before done in the previous Batman movies. Likewise disclosed to motortrend.com Crowley.

Crowley explains, because hunting is Bruce Wayne takes place throughout the day, he can not use his Batman Tumbler. Therefore, Lamborghini car that gave him three akan dugunakan as promptness of action in some scenes in this film.

Crowley own claim to believe do not like this film will be supported by the Lamborghini because according to him they are not a car recklessly and not a cheap car.

This film producers actually have good relations with the manufacturer Lamborghini since Batman begins, the mengusung Murcielago roadster with a price range of U.S. $ 400,000 (approximately Rp3, 65 billion) to support the debut film.

Batman in that he begins to get Lamborghini prototype that has not been released to the public. So give one of Lamborghini's first car is incredible.

When use the Dark Knight he is to return to them and said, "If we have some action scenes, whether you are ready to give us some Lamborghini. But we clearly akan mengobrak-abriknya to make it great."

What result? In fact he have three cars with the extraordinary third and he can pass the action without involving the Tumbler Batman at all. So, this film makes the Lambo has a value of more action in the Bruce Wayne, instead of as a treat that action is usually done Batman.

Meanwhile, in designing Tumbler Crowley 40 recruit mechanics who work for six months for the project Tumbler filled with big-block Chevy V-8 and the spindle axis as a truck driver (as) back. Tumbler have no bearing in the future, if there be two arms of scalp front wheel, which gave him Suspensi different.
