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.

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...

Diesel Fuel Made From Carbon Dioxide And Water By Audi

German car manufacturer Audi has reportedly invented a carbon-neutral diesel fuel, made solely from water, carbon dioxide and renewable energy sources. And the crystal clear 'e-diesel' is already being used to power the Audi A8 owned by the country’s Federal Minister of Education and Research, Johanna Wanka. The creation of the fuel is a huge step forward for sustainable transport, but the fact that it’s being backed by an automotive giant is even more exciting. Audi has now set up a pilot plant in Dresden, Germany, operated by clean tech company Sunfire, which will pump out 160 litres of the synthetic diesel every day in the coming months. Their base product, which they’re calling 'blue crude' is created using a three-step process. The first step involves harvesting renewable energy from sources such as wind, solar and hydropower. They then use this energy to split water into oxygen and pure hydrogen, using a process known as reversible electrolysis. This hyd...
