SkyCruiser : Flying Car Without Runway , A Car, Helicopter and Aeroplane

Flying Car has been a dream of many people for lot of years and many company are working on making it possible. Think about a flying Car which can take off without runaway. Now a Arizona based start-up called Krossblade Aerospace Systems is thinking of making it possible. Krossblade has come out a concept of a SkyCruiser that will act as a car, airplane and helicopter.
Skycruiser is a 5-seat hybrid VTOL transformer plane with an ability to drive on road also. While the concept has been in developing mode, therefore company is coming out with a miniature unctioning prototype called 'SkyProwler'. VTOL, vertical take off and landing give it a power to take off from anywhere and land it anywhere.
To fly it fast it has to be aerodynamically clean therefore it is made narrow, somewhat drop-shaped with only few things sticking out.
Working: SkyCruiser in normal mode is pushed along by two 150 bhp electric motors in the tail, which is then switched to set of four rotors arm from the fuselage to make the vertical flight.
Configuration:  505 kph using ICU mated to electric grids powering electric motors. 
Weight of the plane is 1,055 kg on empty. The range of the plane is 1.620 km.

AI in Soap Manufacturing Industry

Machine learning (ML) has numerous potential applications in the soap manufacturing industry, contributing to process optimization, quality control, resource management, and more. Here are some examples: 1. Quality Control : ML algorithms can be trained to analyze images of soap bars to detect defects such as cracks, air bubbles, or inconsistent coloring. By automating the inspection process, manufacturers can ensure that only high-quality products reach the market, reducing waste and enhancing customer satisfaction. 2. Predictive Maintenance : ML models can analyze sensor data from manufacturing equipment to predict when maintenance is needed. By detecting potential issues before they cause equipment failure, manufacturers can minimize downtime and reduce repair costs. 3. Supply Chain Optimization : ML algorithms can analyze historical data on raw material prices, demand forecasts, and production schedules to optimize inventory management and procurement decisions. This helps minimize...

Telescopic Contact Lens For Visually Impaired People

See far distance just by winking your eyes. A team of engineers have designed a telescopic contact lens that can switch between normal and magnefied vision.  The Researchers at  San Jose, California has built a prototype pf lens that could one day help people with visual impairment  to see. The lenses might be particularly useful with age-related macular degeneration, a debilitating condition in which people gradually lose their central vision. It is the leading cause of visual impairment and affect millions worldwide. The contact lens developed by Ford’s team is one millimeter thick. Researchers used aluminum mirrors, fit tightly together, to create a ring-shaped telescope embedded in the contact lens. The center of the lens allows for normal, non-magnified vision.  Its periphery, where the telescope is located, magnifies images 2.8 times. Switching between normal and magnefied vision Without the glasses, the contact lenses superimpose both normal and magn...

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...
