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 fro

Dan Granett, a former engineer at NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory has designed a giant robot, called BugJuggler which will juggle cars in a motoring shows to wow crowds. The BugJuggler at 70 ft will throw three VW bettle cars into the air and will catch them in mid-air using hydralic cylinder. A human sitting in the robots's head will  be controlling using haptic feedback interface, giving them full sensory feedback from the throwing and catching forces. It has a full budget of $2.3 million and is still in funding stage. These robots will impress the audience and will add thrill in the party. BugJuggler                                      

At the  University of California, San Diego;  Nanoengineers have tested a temporary tattoo that both extracts and measures the level of glucose in the fluid in between skin cells. This first-ever example of the flexible, easy-to-wear device could be a promising step forward in noninvasive glucose testing for patients with diabetes. The sensor was developed and tested by graduate student Amay Bandodkar and colleagues in Professor Joseph Wang’s laboratory at the NanoEngineering Department and the Center for Wearable Sensors at the Jacobs School of Engineering at UC San Diego. Bandodkar said this “proof-of-concept” tattoo could pave the way for the Center to explore other uses of the device, such as detecting other important metabolites in the body or delivering medicines through the skin. The research team is also working on ways to make the tattoo last longer while keeping its overall cost down, he noted. “Presently the tattoo sensor can easily survive for a day. These are extremely i

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 magnified images. With

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

When as kids most of us would have wanted to be an astronaut and dreamed of doing all that cool stuff that a astronauts got a chance to do. One of the coolest things that everyone want to do is float in no gravityand experience weightlessness like we see in movies, videos and photos.Well for doing all these stuff we do not need to go to NASA and be a astronaut, but we can do it by remaining inside the Earth orbit. NASA has a special plane that provide the experience of weightlessness. ZERO G Corporation is a American company that will give you weightlessness experience at a sum of about $5000(Rs 4lakh approx).  In order to train astronauts,conducting research and for shooting space movies depicting gravity free , NASA uses a reduced gravity aircraft that provides brief weightless environment in which people can float like they do in space. The aircraft has been nicknamed as "vomit comet". The aircraft do it by following an elliptic path relative to the centre of Earth. Whi

Hyperstealth, a Canadian company has revealed that it has developed a invisibility cloak called Quantum Stealth Quantum Stealth is a material that renders the target completely invisible by bending light waves around the target. It works the same ways as a invisible cloak in a Harry Potter movies. The material removes the visual, infrared (night vision), thermal signatures and also the target’s shadow. Hyperstealth has been designing camouflage patterns for military vehicles, uniforms and installations.The invisibility cloak is probably be used by the U.S military for counter terrorism and special forces mission. click on these link to know about it.

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.

NASA has teamed up with Microsoft to develop a new software that will enable scientists to work on Mars virtually using a wearable technology called Microsoft HoloLens. The software called OnSight, developed by Nasa’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, will give researchers a means to plan and, along with the Mars Curiosity rover, conduct science operations on the Red Planet. OnSight will give rover scientists the ability to walk around and explore Mars right from their offices. OnSight will use real rover data and extend the Curiosity mission’s existing planning tools by creating a 3D simulation of the Martian environment where scientists around the world can meet. Program scientists will be able to examine the rover’s worksite from a first-person perspective, plan new activities and preview the results of their work firsthand. Until now, rover operations required scientists to examine Mars imagery on a computer screen and make inferences about what they are see
