Compact Fusion Reactor in the size of a truck

Think about a truck supplying the energy demand of a whole city. Well it seems to be the thing of the future and definitely of not this century. But Lockheed Martin is working on building a truck size nuclear fusion reactor that will ready before next 10 years. The reactor which will be small enough to fit on the truck will be able to power the city of 100,000 people.It will revolutionize the Earth energy requirement and production.
The reactor will fuse two hydrogen atoms into a single helium atoms, releasing a energy ten times than the regular nuclear reactor. Fusion will offer a cleaner, safer source of energy. It will use a "magnetic bottle" to contain the hundreds of million of degreed created by the nuclear fusion  reactor.
It will be useful in spacecraft to mars, and power generation in aircraft carrier and large ship, and also in puring large quantites of water. It can provide plane will unlimited range.

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...

Agni-5 successful launched from canister.

India has again successfully launched a 5000 km range Agni-5 missile from a mobile launcher. Agni-5 can carry a payload of upto 1.3 ton nuclear warhead and can strike it target 5000 km in just 20 minutes. Agni-5 is a three stage missile and this time it was launched from a canister mounted on a truck at Wheeler Island off Odisha coast. Agni-5 weigh 50 tonnes and cost 10 million $ or 50 crores rupees. The canister launch will give Indian army a great flexibility and strength. It is 17 metres long and 2 m wide. The very accuracy Ring Laser Gyro based Inertial Navigation System (INS) and the most modern and accurate Micro Navigation System (MNS) has ensured the missile reach the target point within few metres of accuracy.
