Harvesting energy through Car Paint

Mercedes-Benz has come out with a concept car that will generate energy through its body paint. This concept car by Mercedes-Benz named as Vision G-Code doubles up as a solar panel. The Vision G-Code capture energy from solar rays using his multi-voltaic silver paint to power his hybrid engine. The paint can also be charged electrostatically by the wind when moving or stationary. Kinetic energy created by the suspension will also generate electricity as well.

Top 3 Fastest Hydrogen Powered Car

When it comes to racing using hydrogen powered car, this top three car will win the show. Hydrogen powered car uses hydrogen gas as a fuel which combust with oxygen to form water. #3. Aston Martin Rapide : British luxury marque ASTON MARTIN introduced AM Rapide S in early 2010. The Rapide is powered by a 5,935 cc V12 engine , producing 470 bhp and torque of 443 lbf·ft (601 N·m). It is Rear-wheel drive and has a six- speed Touchtronic automatic. The Rapide can reach a top speed of 188.5 mph (303 km/h), and accelerate 0-100 km/h (62 mph) in 5.3 seconds, or 0-60 mph (97 km/h) in 5.0 seconds. #2. BMW H2R : This car built by BMW uses liquid hydrogen as a fuel. The H2R’s 6.0-liter V-12 engine, which draws on BMW 's Valvetronic and Double-Vanos technology, is based on the 760i’s gasoline-fueled powerplant. This H2-powered high performer generates 232 horsepower (173 kW), helping it t...

Reducing pollution using 'parasitic' drone

Pollution in China is at its worst, so the team of designers at Hong Kong has come with a incredible idea to filter air in the big cities like Hong Kong. Designers have built a winged 'parasitic' drone that come out at night, suck pollution and capture energy from the neon light and use the energy to grow a forests of small air-purifying plants at their back. The drone will suck carbon-dioxide through a carbon-adsorbant polymer paint and will use the heat from the neon to heat up the polymer to a temperature that would release the CO2. The CO2 will be used to help the air purifying plants grow at the back of the robot wings which will act as miniature farm. The design has been named as a NAS-DRA. They will be producing a new source of renewable energy. At the daytime , they will perch on building, with their wings open so that the carbon absorbing polymer paint can suck up carbon dioxide. The organic waste generated from these plants could be then converted into biogas, an...

Perfect 100 Percent Light Reflecting Mirror

The scientists at Massachusetts Institute of Technology has created a perfect mirror that will reflect 100 perfect of light shoning on it. The reflecting device called photonic crystal mirror is made up of silicon nitride punctuated with super-tiny holes(smaller than the wavelength of visible length). When a specific frequency of red light was shone on the surface of crystal at a angle of 35 degree, 100 percent of light reflected back as light waves trying to enter the holes collided and cancelled each other out. These perfect mirror could be used in fiber optics to provide greater range and speed.
