good first vehicles for your yard around the house which is full of grass

London,  - This is innovative and this is good first vehicles for your yard around the house which is full of grass

Honda UK in collaboration with Team Dynamics (partner in the British Touring Car Championship-BTCC) managed to achieve the fastest lawn mower as one of good first vehicles in the world. His name is Mean Power, using the 996cc V-twin engine is taken from the Honda VTR1000F Superhawk, super bikes popular in Europe in the era of the 2000s.

With that engine, the good first vehicles can accelerate from 0-100 kph in just 4 seconds from power 109PS with torque of 96Nm. Being claimed maximum speed of 200 kph translucent, although in practice after tested "only" up to 160 kph. The noise level is 98 db engine idle and when lauched, reaching 130 db.

Heart Superhawk also paired six-speed transmission with paddle shift spliced​​. This section was created thanks to the input of three times BTCC champion Matt Neal and BTCC champion Gordon "Flash" Shedden.

Regardless, the vehicle was built on the basis of the tractor picked Honda HF2620. The steel chassis is taken from the Honda ATV 4130, including the suspension and wheels. Custom made ​​lawn mower, the seat of the fiberglass.

Cut grass kept behind, including the fuel tank, oil cooler and radiator secondary. Other appliances are custom made sporty seats, exhaust pipes and the Scorpion steering wheel. There are also many special devices selected from an ATV and Superhawk.

Not just fast, this vehicle is also functional, still in the vehicle ranahnya as workers. Two electric motors with a 3mm steel blades rotate rotation of 4,000 rpm. Cutting speed is very fast, which is 24 kph, two times faster than a regular lawn mower Honda HF2620.

"Honda strongly believe in collaboration, through the boundaries and create something extraordinary. This project not only highlights the breadth of our products, but also promote and support heritage sporty reputation as an innovative perusahaa. Beyond that, we love a challenge!" Said Kate Saxton , Corporate Affairs Manager of Honda UK.

Barack Obama considers applying the fuel cell for all vehicles

Energy Secretary Steven Chu questioned the benefits of hydrogen powered cars and cutting funds fuels car battery research. This was done as Obama's target of one million electric vehicles by 2015.

"There are dramatic changes in the last six to nine months for this need in the future," said the Ministry of Energy and fuel cell research director Scott Samuelsen U.S. National in an interview at a conference in Washington sponsored by Hydrogen Education Foundation.

"That has not been done is a step to meet the needs in 2015."

2015, the year for car manufacturers including Toyota Motor Corp. aims to introduce the first models of battery-fueled in the United States.

Model FCX Clarity Honda Motor Co. and Daimler AG Mercedes Benz B-Class is now available in the states of California and environmental regulations there require a zero-emission cars.

Interest in fuel cell development coincides with the start of Congress to oversee financial aid vehicle model plug-in and battery company A123 Systems Inc. and Fisker Automotive Inc. of electric cars.

On Thursday, Mercedes-Benz fuel cells will open a factory in Burnaby Canada and became the first car manufacturer to a factory producing fuel cells for passenger vehicles.

Mercy said the land area of ​​2,000 square meters will be producing fuel cells.

The U.S. has 56 hydrogen fueling stations, said the Ministry of Energy.

Two aides of President Barack Obama this week called the fuel cell is one solution to improve fuel efficiency. It reaffirms the United States to create optimism for the technology market. Hydrogen fuel cells, popularized by President George W. Bush, but then they were marginalized by the plug-in power n after Obama ruled from 2009.

Fuel cell car of TMC promises by 2015 to be marketed

TOKYO - "According to plan, this fuel cell car if it is produced will go on sale around USD138 thousand in Europe," said Vice President of Toyota Europe, Alain Uyttenhoven that was launched from Automotivenews, Sunday (27/11/2011).

Until now, TMC still do not have the concept, and technical about this hydrogen-fueled cars. However, TMC promises by 2015 the car was able to be marketed in several other European countries.

In recent years, Toyota is known as a car manufacturer that has hybrid technology. This time, Toyota will make a tremendous breakthrough, which will produce cars with hydrogen fuel by 2015.

The plan, Toyota Motor Corporation to produce hydrogen-fueled cars is a form of appreciation to uphold, and support the government to reduce exhaust emissions and environmentally friendly cars in Europe.

However, TMC will produce fuel cell cars are in limited quantities. Considering the price of these cars will be much more expensive than petrol cars with fuel, or hybrid.

breaking the speed record for vegetable oil-fueled cars

Idaho, - "In addition, a group of people ever make a record with vegetable oil fueled cars (the only) record speed of 157 km per hour, but with the cost of making cars is quite large," said Dave as he regarded it as a challenge. He then added that 70 donors had contributed 110,000 U.S. dollars in the form of spare parts or cash for technology development at this Chevy pickup.


Six students Boise State University, Idaho, United States, breaking the speed record for vegetable oil-fueled cars, last week. As reported Jalponik and their official website, Greenspeed, Friday (11/18/2011), these students are using diesel pickup, Chevy S-10 made in 1998.

Note 250 miles per hour's carved at El Mirage Dry Lake, California, a flat, dry lake is used for speed racing event on land. Dave Schenker, as leader of the team, who are also students Boise and the owner of the car, claiming original idea inspired by Rudolph Diesel (diesel engine creator), which creates fuel for farm equipment that can be produced from the farm itself.

Dave, who are already familiar with diesel engines, then modified innards Chevy S-10, but did not explain it in detail. "I set my old pickup diesel engine in it, pair the machine-made 5.9-liter Cummins inline six-cylinder powered 700 HP. Then, reset the device turbo, cylinder head straightening, and conduct large-scale modifications in the fuel system work," he explained.


Dave and his friends then use a mixture of cottonseed oil and sunflower oil as a fuel. Two types of oil in the country is cooking oil.

After this achievement, their expectations are rising next level, breaking the speed record for diesel engines, which is 315 km per hour (class pickup).


Great, they choose the level of the Southern California Timing Association for the class "Diesel Truck" in this record breaking attempt. For the record, in that level, the vehicle body panels must be original factory default and there should be no additional body that supports the aerodynamic factors.

Montezemolo said that Ferrari do not believe in electric cars

"You'll never see Ferrari electricity because we do not believe in electric cars," said Montezemolo. The reason he said he felt it was not a step forward in CO2 pollution and environmental solutions.

FIRST time to create a car, Ferrari has set the machinery and design as the essence of their business. Therefore do not be surprised if Ferrari boss Luca di Montezemolo declared an electric car is not part of the equation Ferrari.

Instead, car manufacturers are bearing the prancing horse Ferrari are working hard to develop a hybrid. "I hope you can already see this vehicle in the next few years," Add a man whose full name is Luca Cordero di Montezemolo.

New rules are agreed at Montezemolo to present 1600cc V6

Maranello - The discourse use 1.600cc capacity V6 engine with a turbocharger which was originally to be applied in the spring of 2014 received rave reviews from Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo. Unlike the Bernie Ecclestone who reject the use of this machine, Di Montezemolo welcomed the radical F1 engine changes

New rules are agreed at Montezemolo to present 1600cc V6

F1 engine of innovation is inseparable from issues of environmental and fuel economy that continues to the fore in public spaces. "I will continue to support F1 for F1 represents an important research center for us," said Di Montezemolo convey the reasons behind his support for changes in F1 racing kitchen.

Previously, CEO of F1, Bernie Ecclestone has flatly rejected the idea to change the F1 engines because they will reduce the number of viewers because it would remove his trademark,especially voice and glamour. However, Di Montezemolodid not think so.

"The decision to use the V6 engine is very important because it isan excellent innovation for the future, not only for Ferrari but also for Mercedes and other teams," continued the number one in the body of the Prancing Horse team in Autosport on Tuesday (05/07/2011).

Still in the same occasion, in Montezemolo also asserted that the system aerodynamics package which is in the car must berelevant. So he asked not to need a radical rule of the aerodynamics package.

"Today, aerodynamics account for 90 percent of the performance.But I think this is not good, because we do not build a plane or satellite. We are developing cars where aerodynamics should be relevant to the car, "he said

Wonderful record's achieved! Tesla Electric Car Successfully achieve 100,000 km

TRENDS of automotive world is now slowly but surely shift to electric-powered vehicle drive systems / battery. The big question still hanging is, how long these vehicles can be used?




Tesla Motors could be regarded as the pioneer of electric vehicle (EV) by producing a Roadster sports car in early 2008. With his success in 1600 to sell electric cars, they have a natural research laboratory that can answer that question.

A customer Tesla 83rd in Europe named Hansjorg von Gemmingen, has just recorded a number of 100,000 km on the odometer of his vehicle. Von Gemmingen living in southwest Germany is consistently driving the electric vehicle even during winter.

Every night, he took advantage of the source of electricity in the house at night to electric shocks over his vehicle.

When the daily journey, including when he was running his vehicle as far as 800 km to Berlin last year, Von Gemmingen said he had no difficulty at all to do shock the vehicle's battery.

"As long as we easily see all the way socket, it is very easy to bring this vehicle to wherever you like," Von Gemmingen proud.

Electric vehicles much lighter treatment. He does not need an oil change or spark plugs will confuse us even own what needs to be done along the vehicle is used up to 100,000 km, in addition to cleaning the body from the dirt course.

Nevertheless, Tesla advocated the owner to serve out the standards and diagnostic examination once a year or every 19,000 km. And because the Tesla has its own service centers, the company can use it to get feedback from all the vehicles it produces.

Information, according to Tesla, they will use to improve various aspects of the Model S sedan which will be produced in mid 2012.

TRW Develops roof Air Bags and it's better you to try it

SINCE the introduction of airbags as an optional facility on the S-Class sedan by Mercedes-enz in 1981, the device has now become standard equipment for passenger vehicles worldwide.

In addition to the air bag on the driver and passenger side, it's been there at the side curtain, knee, rear curtain air bags even on the safety belt.

To free up space on an increasingly crowded in the instrument, the manufacturer of automotive safety TRW is currently developing an air bag on the roof that is expected to replace air bags in the steering wheel and dashboard.

TRW said, moving the air bag system from the front driver and passenger into the roof making the car manufacturers to improve the appearance, ergonomics and function of instruments without compromising vehicle safety.

TRW also added that the system consists of a gas generator bearings and can reduce the cost of developing the vehicle dashboard and steering wheel, because it no longer need to make some kind of 'door'special that can be open when the air bag inflates.

TRW has developed an air bag roof since several years and in the last two years, he coupled with several major European car manufacturers. Even today they have made a big production contracts with vehicle manufacturers that do not mention this brand.

Air bag roof is not expected soon applied to the vehicle. But before that happens, TRW creation devices must be able to prove its worth in the presence of safety agencies around the world in order to replace the role of devices that exist today.

Effective solution for Exhaust heat to save fuel

Two-thirds - about 66 percent - of the energy of gasoline and diesel fuel burned in the engine, is wasted in the form of heat. The heat is largely wasted through the exhaust, the rest of the cooling system (radiators).

The concept of recovering heat energy that made ​​the exhaust is converted into electricity

Well, like the Kinetic Energy Recovery System (KERS) in F1 or regenaratif brakes on hybrid cars, experts also want to "restore" the wasted energy to be used again. It is not easy, but the researchers from energy companies and car manufacturers are also trying to do.

TEG
Like KERS and regenerative braking - diuban kinetic energy into electricity - at the exhaust heat energy is converted into electricity. To change it, needed materials or equipment called a thermoelectric generator (TEG). The main problem faced by scholars and researchers today is the basic material. Semiconductor material used is still very low efficiency and expensive. This is what makes, car manufacturers less interested mengembangkannnya.

Nevertheless, the researchers now are trying to install the first prototype TEG to be installed on commercial vehicles and SUVs. Fortunately, materials or tools were developed by independent companies, namely BSST in Irwindale, California. The company is developing its own car TEG is General Motors (GM) and BMW.

BSST plans are able to produce a prototype that will be tested in the BMW and Ford this year. While GM tried it on the Chevrolet SUV.

Material
BSST using new materials, namely bismuth Telluride, consisting of tellurium are rare and work only above 250 degrees Celsius. While the material needed to work at 500 degrees Celsius. BSST also termoelectrically develop other materials, namely a mixture of hafnium and zirconium which worked with the high temperatures and its efficiency reaches 40 percent.

Researchers put GM who was the last prototype TEG - considered more promising - called the material with "skutterudites". Explained this material is cheaper than tellurides, the ability also works better at high-temperatures. Based on tests on the Chevrolet Suburban, tools

Skutterudites consists of a mixture of cobalt arsenide (cobalt arsenide) with the addition of rare elements such as ytterbium. According to Gregory Meisner of GM, the difficulties they face is to integrate these materials into unity. Because of differences in material properties cause the performance will decrease.

Inserted
Another challenge is how to install the TEG in the car. Researchers have tried generator Bismuth Telluride in the SUV. "Now the installation is done by slipped it into the exhaust. Exhaust cut, such as installing a muffler. We need to design a tool that integrates the system and not as an additional vehicle, "expressed by Meisner.

With the development now, both companies expect to manufacture such equipment in large quantities at affordable prices, still took about four years.

Mercy Took Tour Around The World Without Gasoline

DETROIT - Mercedes-Benz wants to show the world about fuel-cell technology is applied to the B-Class models. The car is not only on display at the event of NAIAS 2011. At the opening of the exhibition, (Januari 10, 2011), the German car manufacturers did ceremony of the three units of B-Class F-Cell which would travel around the world.

Three units of Mercedes-Benz B-Class's Fuel Cell technology is ready round the world

The journey took 125 days, beginning late January next split four continents with over 14 countries with different characteristics of weather and air temperature. The goal, campaigning for the effectiveness of use of fuel cell technology in an ordinary car (conventional).

The three units of B-Class fuel-cell were powered by electricity generated from the reaction of oxygen and hydrogen. Once the road, the car had 136 HP and torque of 290 Nm able to travel a distance of 400 km.

"Today, 125 years ago, automotive was first created. But we are confident we will find another solution to utilize the tremendous potential of this," said by Thomas Weber, member of the Daimler Group Research and Development as reported autoevolution

Unbelievable! Urine-Fueled Cars

A company based in Athens, Ohio, USA and the students at Ohio University has been researching ways to produce energy from human urine, and to prove this technology to function, the team is making a small car driven by human urine.

In theory, the existing content of urea in the urine contains a lot of hydrogen. With extract them it will be presented a lot of energy through the hydrogen gas produced. And for that, E-3 Technologies, a company based in Athens, Ohio, is developing a urine-processing technology as its core.

Problem raw materials later will be available in various ways. Starting to get it from the public toilets and offices, or holding a larger collector through cooperation with the factory

waste water treatment.

So, for now, do not pee in the tank of your car before this technology allowed for it.

Go green again! Advanced Bike Without Chain

TECHNOLOGY in the field of vehicles and transportation equipment has developed so rapidly, is no exception with a bunch of bikes. University of Pennsylvania offered a unique prototype bike called Alpha Bike.

This is a bike that turns the wheels do not use alias chainless chain drive. A quite amazing is, the driving system can be changed from fixed gear to freewheel mode electronically.

Bicycle production is entirely carried out in-house. Both drive systems, brake systems, and electronic equipment, all hidden inside the bike frame. Amazingly, this human-powered vehicle has a LCD screen on the handlebars that can update a variety of travel information.

At the bottom bracket at a location mechanism Alpha Bike Switchable Integrated Free-Fixed Transmission (SWIFT) Drive system designed by the University of Pennsylvania senior Mechanical Engineer that is Geoff Johnson, Lucas Hartman, Katie Savarise, Evan Dvorak, Katie Rohacz together with Dr. Jonathan Fiene as supervisor.

SWIFT Feature utilizing electronically regulated clutch to change between modes fixed-gear and freewheel, who joined the central axis made of maraging steel AMS-6514, a clutch plate and pulley 6Al4V Titanium-belt pulleys made of stainless steel.

Front wheel hub shaft or drum brakes and dynamo includes providing power for electronic devices, supplying electricity to two of the super capacitor in order to perform various functions of sensors and micro-controller device (microcontroller). While the rear wheel axle, planetary-gear contains a compact 3-speed that is controlled via a conventional cable.

LCD screen on the handlebar offers the rider with a variety of useful information like: time, distance, cadence, wheel speed and gear selected. Information dynamics of the bike itself is stored in an SD card that can be checked upon completion of driving.

Unfortunately, no information is available about the comparative performance of the prototype drive system without this chain with the conventional model. Not also given information whether this vehicle will be produced or not.

A clear goal of this project is to create a bike with a system that is more compact and integrated. Thanks to their creations, the team Alpha Bike maker managed to get a gift Gemmil Award in the event the Senior Design Competition 2011, held by the University
