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.

A new future weightless Insulation material

A totally new insulation material has been developed that is totally weightless but can still withstand high temperature, that would not be tolerated by other materials and destroy it. The porous aerogel is at least 99 percent open space , with the rest made up of an atomically thin ceramic called hexagonal boron nitride. The design proves extremely durable under high temperatures and rapid temperature shifts of over 1,000 degrees Celsius. “It’s notoriously hard to make materials that are not just lightweight, but can also be heavily heat resistant,” says Deep Jariwala, an engineer at the University of Pennsylvania. The new ultralight insulator may be especially well suited to shielding components on spacecraft , which must endure extreme temperature swings when turning toward or away from the sun or re-entering Earth’s atmosphere, he says. The aerogel comprises a network of tiny air pockets, with each pocket separated by two atomically thin layers ...

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...

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.
