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.

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...

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.
