A revolutionary data storage prototype

 At present , the storage of data on optical media ( CD, DVD
 Blu-ray ) and digital ( USB , SD card ) are not flawless. even
 optimal storage conditions , data may become unreadable at
 above 10 years . But the Japanese manufacturer Hitachi may have found the solution.
Imagine a fire destroyed your apartment or workplace. your equipment
 IT would be destroyed and your file backups , whatever the sup-
 port. But computers may soon know a breakthrough
 in the field of data storage . The Japanese giant Hitachi has unveiled a concept
 unpublished. The prototype is a small rectangular piece of quartz , laser engraved . It has a
 thickness of 2 mm and an area of ​​2 cm². With 4 layers of engravings, its
 storage density is close to CD , with about 6 MB per cm² surface.
 Hitachi says it would be very easy to increase the storage density by adding
 additional layers of engravings.
 But where this quartz-based prototype is different from other media, it is in the
 field strength , and hence its durability .
 It would be able to withstand the flames, radio waves , chemicals ( quartz is also commonly
 ment used in chemistry labs ) and liquids. The data could be preserved eternally
 LEMENT unless the glass is broken . But this weakness could quickly disappear if Hitachi manages to make this
 unbreakable material . Hitachi prototype also solve the problem of old surfaces become obso-
 lete and complicate the reading of stored data .
 Gradually, as technologies evolve , the old equipment will require costly mainte-
 nance , transcoding and conservation. This is also the case today for the data stored on
 vinyl records , audio and VHS cassettes. However, the information stored on the quartz would be readable with
 simple optical microscope. Thus, in the future , regardless of the reading technology used by a computer , if it
 is able to read the binary data stored on the quartz , it will be interpreted.
 Hitachi plans to market its new technology in 2015 , but researchers plan to offer soon
 2013 this storage system to public organizations that require a massive archive of information.

iBeam , the tablet that control eye

 In collaboration with Fujitsu and Swedish Tobii , the Japanese giant
 telecommunications NTT Docomo unveiled at the Ceatec 2012 ( the largest
 Japanese electronics show ) a touch tablet prototype with the
 new tracking technology look, which is also called eye-tracking .
The lower part of the shelf is equipped with iBeam infrared sensors
 move with the eyes of the user . The latter can then control
 an invisible cursor of a simple movement of the eye , so as to transcribe the
 movement commands that might be interpreted by the tablet.
 It is therefore possible to scroll through the pages of a webzine or e-book ( the Eye-
 tracking detects when the eye reaches the bottom of a page or requesting a movement
 side pressing the page change ) or enlarge a photo in the middle of a
 Mosaic to display in full screen when attached with the look insist
 tance . This technology could be useful to the users of transport
 public who use their tablet without necessarily having their hands
 to manipulate .
 Still in the prototype stage , the iBeam tablet still be improved . It will have to wait a bit before seeing
 marketed .

The bracelet Microsoft motion sensor

 After the famous Kinect motion sensor, Microsoft continues to operate the
 lode of Motion Gaming , much appreciated by the general public , improving the experience .
 The American firm has this time a bracelet concept capable of
 detect movements of the hand and fingers to transcribe them into action.
This project called Digits is to equip the wrist of the user of a sort of
 strap that can control a computer , a television or the interface
 video game , analyzing the hand gestures . The bracelet is made Digits
 an infrared camera , an inertial measurement unit , a laser and a éclai-
 Infrared rage. Unlike Kinect motion sensor, the strap
 Digits do not require to be confined in a fixed space , it can be used anywhere
 where . Looking at the video below which shows some of the interactions
 possible , one realizes quickly that this high-tech bracelet is still in
 prototype . His final appearance will undoubtedly be much more aesthetically pleasing .
 Researchers are trying to reduce the device's size to make it as convenient
 to wear a watch .

 Office integrates a computer capable of transforming any surface
 touch screen . It is part of a trend towards interfaces dématérial-
 ized , close to robotics.
Dubbed Luminar , this ultra sophisticated device is screwed as a
 conventional bulb in a table lamp. It has an ordinary
 wireless ordinator , a camera and a pico- projector for projecting a
 interactive image and touch on any surface.
 The camera can detect finger movements , but also
 to recognize objects by automatically displaying an advertisement.
 The Luminar bulb can also take screenshots of
 the workspace to scan and share documents or
 photos.
 It is compatible with any type of light , but the user will have more features if the bulb is Luminar
 associated with the lamp because it has a robotic arm that can move the projected interface.
 The Luminar lamp can memorize the positions of the various applications, for example by displaying tweets
 in a corner office , or by projecting Skype conversations on a wall.
 Still in prototype phase, the analysis software of Luminar bulb is not included in the lamp, but
 Wi-Fi connection allows it to use programs running on a conventional computer.

Papertab , thin as paper tablet

 Tablets today are becoming thinner , while providing
 best experience. The next big technological advance in this
 field propose tablets as thin and flexible as a sheet of
 paper .
Three firms have partnered to create the Papertab (Intel , the company ANG-
 laise Plastic Logic and Queen's University in Ontario, Canada ), a tab-
 lette with a 10.7 inch screen and inspired by the minutes of the operation
 Paper personality. With a similar effect to that of the electronic ink,
 Papertab tablet is based on its flexibility to offer a new
 so as to interact , by reproducing the use of multiple sheets of paper ,
 in addition to the side of the touch screen . Simply by physical contact , content
 a Papertab may be transmitted to another .
 The user can interact in various ways, such as by
 folding the edges of the tablet to scroll through the pages , or to activate
 functions .
 The interaction also depend on the geolocation of Papertab . It will be possible to write an e-mail with
 a Papertab , and use another to attach a file to the e -mail . This connectivity would also apply to
 screen sharing, which would provide a single screen , placing side by side two Papertab .
 Presented at the CES show in Las Vegas in January 2013, the Papertab is still in the prototype stage .
 Exposed models were equipped with an E -Ink screen, but it seems that Papertab with color screens are
 under development . This new technology could be commercialized within three to five years.

A mouse prototype levitating

 A Russian designer has developed a particular mouse. After the vertical mouse ,
 it is now the turn of a floating mouse revolutionize the lives of
 used the computer, especially for those who suffer from numbness
 ments in hands.
Designed by Vadim Kibardin , it is equipped with a floating browser and
 a magnetic ring that allows it to float above its carpets
 ( Also magnetic ) . It thus hovers above it at a height
 40mm when not used. It then goes down to 10mm
 when the user places his hand there . The object and change its position
 so the wrist no longer rely on the desktop when the handles .
 The result is a more comfortable and ergonomic wireless mouse, according
 its designer, which reduces numbness and musculoskeletal disorders
 skeletal . Able to withstand a pressure up to 1kg , The Bat
 is currently in its test phase. The prototype is operational,
 Hopefully it is marketed in the near future.

The interactive display composed of air and water

 If interactive displays are evolving to be tactile, or flexible , here is one that
 works otherwise, the Displair . This display with multitouch technology
 projecting images formed of air and water particles , thus offering new
 experience to the user.
Displair was developed by a Russian company of the same name . the company
 just install headquartered in San Francisco should be established in France
 before the end of 2013 .
 This is a 30 inch screen to air and provided with multitouch technology .
 We can manipulate and control the images displayed through
 simple gestures. But above all , it is possible to feel thrown objects
 thanks to the presence of capsules that diffuse the smell in the air .
 An ability that has already seduced L'Oréal could use it for
 promotion of his next perfume .
 This air-based display system and water particles do not offer, for the moment, an exceptional image quality
 ity but this new technology seems very perfectible .
 His interest is elsewhere. Indeed, its use should be primarily promotional initially .
 Yet these designers do not exclude the imposition in some countries like Japan, where the use of screens
 Public touch can not be necessary for reasons of hygiene .
 Its unit price is estimated at about 30 000.

The touch keyboard as thin as a sheet of paper

 A firm called Cambridge Silicon Radio (CSR) has unveiled a peri-
 Wireless pheric for computer and mobile devices . Presented as

Sprout computer without a keyboard or mouse

 It's not often that a computer manufacturer dares to break the
 codes , but now we can say that HP has done very good at presenting a product
 which seems to have 10 years ahead of the market. We forgive him his name
 bit special, Sprout, and it is a PC that does not have a keyboard or mouse.


 In the PC market down and rather uniform, HP opts
 boldness and innovation with Sprout . This desktop PC all- in-one pro-
 poses a new ergonomic approach with the disappearance of the keyboard and
 mouse . Both accessories are perceived as essential
 replaced by a 3D scanner and a projector baptized " Illuminator " meeting
 in a sort of housing located above the screen.
 It projects an image on a touch tablet 20 power
 these , Touch Mat , which can be used with fingers or a stylus. this
 image can be a keyboard, a drawing area , a second screen and to pre-
 ously an area of action.
 3D scanner Illuminator allows for him to model any
 object placed on the touch pad with two cameras with the camera
 Real Sense of Intel, and exploit 3D images through software
 dedicated .
 In short , we understand that this machine is primarily creative .
 Beyond these two innovations whose ergonomics will be judged on
 parts, Sprout is a Windows PC with a 8.1 HD touch screen 23
 inches, an Intel Core i7 processor, 8GB of RAM and a hard drive
 hybrid SSD and 1TB But innovation comes at a price . € 1,500 .
 Sprout is already available in the United States . " The Sprout is only the pre-
 rst of a vision we had, " said Eric Monsef , head of pro-
 product. So it seems that the American giant wants to continue this
 way , if success is to go of course.

T- band transforms your old watch in a smartwatch !

If you are attached to your old analog watch , but that you are also attracted by the functionality of a smartwatch , here is a new pre-order project on Indiegogo that might interest you .

Designed by the Kairos Society and named T band , this innovation is the magic formula that turns into a smartwatch a Rolex ... Collectors will rebel against this infamy ...

The idea of ​​T band is quite simple. This is an intelligent high-tech bracelet that replaces the original strap of your analog watch . T- band connects via Bluetooth to your smartphone.

Kairos T-Band ND

The basic version does not offer screen. This model is more like a bracelet connected can measure your daily physical activity, track your sleep stages or give the temperature of your skin or your sweat rate . It provides great autonomy (7 days +) and has a basic notification system vibration and flashing LED lights for SMS, emails, incoming calls or alerts in your favorite applications.

Kairos T-Band HD

This second version offers all the features of a smartwatch , but through an invisible screen, very discreet. The screen is hidden past a membrane that becomes transparent when the LEDs light up . When the screen is off , the bracelet looks like a traditional bracelet. The autonomy of this model is approximately 2 to 3 days. Its screen can only display alphanumeric characters. Forget the images and videos.

Kairos T-Band OD

This model offers the ultimate in addition to the above , a curved PMOLED display, a touch sensor and an embedded microphone to dictate your messages.

T bracelet band will be compatible with Android smartphones , Apple iOS and Windows Phone .

Beyond notification capabilities , the T- band bracelet can be used as a remote control for your smartphone or tablet. It will allow you , for example, take photos remotely via your smartphone or send predefined SMS messages while walking.

During the crowdfunding campaign, the pre-order deals start at US $ 130 for T- band ND, US $ 160 for T- band HD and $ 180 for T- band OD . If the goal of US $ 50 000 is reached, the first deliveries are scheduled from April 2015 according to the model chosen.

A foldable touchscreen for our future smartphones and tablets

The laboratory R & D Japanese SEL unveiled at the last show Display Innovation 2014, the foldable screen prototype.

This technological innovation could herald the screens of our future smartphones and tablets. It is thus possible to imagine turning into smartphones tablets by folding , making the last truly portable .

This OLED touchscreen, capable of folding in three , can display full HD resolution .

As can be seen in the lower video , this high-tech screen is also able to adapt his display by folding. The folded wafer may , for example , broadcast different content of the face.

According SEL engineers , this display system can be folded 100,000 times without being damaged.

Towards holograms that can be seen , touched and felt

Research by the computer science department of the University of Bristol in the UK , could change the way we view and interact with virtual objects in three dimensions.

This new technology could, for example , allow surgeons to explore the results of 3D scanner, allowing them to feel the internal organs as if they were real.

This technology uses ultrasound to provide haptic feedback (ie a force feedback ) to the user. Associated with a holographic display system, it could see, touch and feel the fingers invisible virtual objects and non-palpable in reality.

Managing precisely the issue of these ultrasound, researchers can create disturbances in the air that can be felt and interpreted as complex 3D shapes by the user.

In the future , we may well feel virtual materials and feel their shape under our fingers. Interesting to be able to manipulate objects in museums

Chemists have created a new rewritable paper

Chemists of California Riverside University have created a new type of rewritable paper that can be erased and reused many times . Not to be confused with electronic displays. Here, we really print, then delete and then reprints , etc ... !

The advent of the digital home, in government or in business has not stopped the use of the old paper. A large amount of documentation that still remains printed and retained on paper while most of these documents is put in the trash after a single use and small .

All this is not really "sustainable development" and that's not to mention the phenomenal consumer ink cartridges needed to print those sheets of paper.

For the manufacture of this rewritable paper , chemists use the chemical properties of a particular ink . A mask containing the text is placed on this rewritable paper. Exposed to ultraviolet light , the parties unmasked whiten paper , leaving the printed text under the covered parties.
Photo credit: YIN LAB, UC RIVERSIDE .

To clear the printing and recreate a clean sheet must then exposing the paper to a temperature of about 115 ° C.

According chemists , a printed document with this technology is readable in high resolution for more than three days under normal conditions. So it's good enough for reading newspapers or reports.

Also according to the inventors , this rewritable paper is easy to manufacture, has a low production cost, low toxicity and low energy demand .

For now, this technology allows for 20 printing cycles and re-entry without loss of resolution and contrast. The research team is now aiming to achieve 100 cycles .

Jaguar seeks to make invisible amounts of its cars

Like the technologies that make invisible the back seat or the hood of a car, the car manufacturer Jaguar Land Rover unveils a new research project that wants to make invisible all parts of the passenger that hinder driver's vision. This technology would propose , in addition , a " ghost car " or " virtual car " head-up display for easy navigation.

This project is of course to improve road safety . The objectives are to offer a driving experience less stressful city, to facilitate and streamline the operation, limit distractions and thus reduce the risk of accidents .

This concept is based on the future democratization of head-up display technology (HUD - Heads-Up Display) , to provide the driver the right information at the right time , without having to leave the road ahead .

With the project called " 360 Virtual Urban Windscreen " the contractor seeks to offer the driver an unobstructed 360-degree peripheral vision . The idea is to eliminate all blind spots by incorporating screens on the amounts of the windshield and doors. These screens would broadcast live that "see" the cameras placed outside the car on these amounts. Inside, the driver could be at any time to see the dangers that could be hidden in a blind spot of his car.
Jaguar -Land Rover - Actinnovation -2

Pedestrians, cyclists, cars, motorcycles and other vehicles would be visible all around the car. Combining these amounts with a transparent display system head high, the danger could be signaled to the driver directly to the windscreen, before his eyes.

Jaguar Land Rover goes further. By connecting this innovative windscreen to the network infrastructure of the city , this technology could for example, display directly in front of the driver's eyes , the price of fuel in the nearest service station or the number of places available in car parks, without having to search the information by other means ( smartphones , GPS).

The project called " Follow-Me Ghost Car Navigation " could improve on his navigation by advising the driver the direction to take. The idea is to allow it to follow a projected virtual car actually increased before him. After all, is not it easier to follow another car who knows the best route than watching his GPS every 20 seconds ?

Personal mobility Low tech: a hoverboard made ​​with four leaf blowers

After hoverboard Hendo worthy of the film Back to the Future , here is the low tech version of Mr Hoverboard .

The American Ryan Craven has made ​​up his mind to create a real hoverboard that is functional , practical, economic and everyone could make at home.

Its very simple idea , based on the assembly of four leaf blowers on wooden boards . The inventor of this machine went to a skate park to go test it and it works!

As you will see in the video below , the hoverboard made ​​a little noise and does not seem really easy to learn, but it really floats above the ground.

Project HAVOC : NASA plans to colonize Venus!

It sounds crazy but it is indeed a project of NASA. Scientists at the US space agency unveiled the HAVOC project "High Altitude Venus Operational Concept ".

After March it was the Venus turn to be the center of attention. Venus is the nearest neighbor of the Earth. But with a surface temperature approaching 500 ° C, well above the melting point of lead , Venus does not seem easy to explore the red planet.

However, to the researchers , the atmosphere of Venus could be an interesting destination for future human exploration.

A kind of airship , lighter than air, strapped with instruments and sensors, could be home to a crew of two people on Venus for a month.
NASA Venus -Ville- cloud - Actinnovation

Such a manned space mission would require less time than a Mars mission and environment , Venus atmospheric pressure and gravity of 50 km above sea level, making it more inviting for a crew of explorers . The airship inflated with helium, operate on solar power .

Moreover , Venus would be better protected against sunlight than Mars . A mission in the atmosphere of Venus would be attractive.

To achieve this feat, many technical challenges remain to be met , such as travel from Earth to Venus, inserting and inflating the blimp in the atmosphere , protecting solar panels against sulfuric acid present in mass in opaque clouds .

After 30 days in the atmosphere of Venus, the manned capsule comes off the airship to transform into a rocket and return the crew to Earth.

The plans of NASA scientists go even further by imagining real colonies floating above the clouds of Venus. Perhaps a way to extend the presence of mankind in space?

The Magsurf and Hendo Over 2 levitating skateboard

 Remember in the movie Back to the Future 2 , the actor Michael J Fox used
 a futuristic skateboard without wheels , the hoverboard . The action took place in 2015 .
 In real life , the hoverboard materialized at the University Paris Diderot
 partnership with the Physics Institute of the CNRS.
A research team unveiled the Magsurf , including a skateboard levitation
 is provided by the superconductivity . The subject is able to fly at 3 cm
 ground on a short distance a person weighing up to 90 kg.
 Only downside, the Magsurf must first be cooled to -200 ° with nitrogen
 liquid. According to Julien Bobroff institute CNRS , hopefully one day
 a Magsurf operating at room temperature , but it remains a challenge
 very complicated science to realize.
 Another project hoverboard made ​​about him on the canvas. Called Hendo
 Over it works magnetically levitating , with four engines ,
 but only above a ground exclusively composed of plates
 metal . So it's not tomorrow that its buyers can surf
 in the street like Michael J. Fox to film. For now , it appears
 also quite noisy and unwieldy .
 The final version of Over Hendo should be delivered in late 2015 and the ten models
 reserved € 8000 each have already been sold .
 The icon of skateboarding Tony Hawk could test , which is likely to make it a
 good publicity. We can also discover skateboarding champion and

The future of the process make some unnecessary stations

 The British agency Priestmangoode design provides a rail concept
 innovative which would prevent the passengers of a train to go down
 a station to change correspondence. The project called Moving Platforms
 is to approach trams and TGV would roll at the same height .
Both trains are connected by doors and a safety lock , allowing
 passengers to change trains without it stops.
 TGV could thus serve over medium cities without wasting time .
 When users they gain time and be less tired avoiding
 corridors and waiting rooms in stations .
 Moving platforms the project is not yet feasible because it requires many
 feasibility studies, but it could revolutionize intermodularité transport
 in a world where cars are increasingly inadequate and expensive.

An amazing prototype flying motorcycle

 American society Aerofex took advantage of the international conference American
 Helicopter Society in San Francisco to present its prototype flying motorcycle .
 The wheels of this machine have been replaced by two powerful rotors evoking those
 an airboat .
With these two steerable ducted fans , the unit may rise
 above the ground and simply responds to bodily movements of the driver.
 Tested in the Mojave Desert in California (see the video), this bike
 Flying could reach speeds of nearly 50 km / h and an altitude of 4
 meters. However, engineers need to improve their prototype man-
 that further stability. In addition , the machine is extremely noisy.
 Difficult to envisage a public use. But the founder of Aerofex
 Mark Roche imagine a different future for his flying motorcycle . Although
 prototype was presented with a driver, the company works Aerofex
 currently on a version drone for late 2013 .
 The device could find applications in agriculture for the heavy lifting , but
 also as a support for rescue teams to move over rough terrain and difficult
 accessible.

An airline network for cyclists in Londo

 The number of trips made ​​by bicycle in London will triple by 2020. But with
 the increase in car traffic , cyclists are increasingly exposed
 the dangers of the road. To remedy this problem, the architect Sam Martin
 proposed to the Mayor of London to build an air network reserved for bicycles.
According to the landscape architect, build a network in the air is the only
 solution to give flavor to the bike. This project called Sky Cycle will take the
 as a futuristic tunnel with glass walls . He will address primarily to
 users of public transport who live outside London and
 that make every day to and from work in the city center and domination
 cult . Although the Sky Cycle project is still in the primary stage , Sam Martin
 claims to be under discussion with the Mayor of London, which seems very
 interested in the concept. The company Network Rail, network owner
 Rail brittannique is also negotiation with archi-
 detects since May 2012. Feasibility studies are underway on some
 London sites. Valued at tens of millions of pounds , the project
 Sky Cycle could materialize in 2015 .

An amazing concept car Drive-in

 Present in 2012 at the World Motor Show in Paris, Smart has Forstars
 undoubtedly caused a sensation on its stand . This electric concept car seems
 out of the animated film "Cars " with its optical LED ringed and allure
 toy . But the most surprising is its video projector placed in the hood.
This electric vehicle two-seater is 1.70 m wide , 3.55 m long and
 1.50 m high. Its crazy look mixes bright colors and rounded shapes
 dies . Also note its huge 21-inch wheels . Smart Forstars

 kWh. It can reach a top speed of 130 km / h. Its glass roof allows
 enjoy a good light , and occupants can take the cargo area
 ges thanks to its wide trunk of about one meter . Smart Forstars innovates
 several surprising gadgets. Two rear lights are removable. The cache
 storage bobbin , the second has a charging connection.
 It also has a video projector in the front of the vehicle, in the hood, which will create the
 Drive-in staff (see video). Smart Forstars is also equipped with an iPhone that controls both the video-
 projector and air conditioning. It can also be used inside mirror broadcasting images of the camera
 back. This futuristic concept vehicle is unfortunately not marketed , but it will be remembered
 at the Paris Motor Show in Paris

An electric road charging cars

 Electric vehicles are certainly green , but the replenishment
 in battery power has always been a problem . Therefore , Volvo
 imagined a different solution to fix it. Instead of focusing on a
 wireless charging , the group put on roads that recharge the cars.
Volvo worked with the Swedish company Alstom to develop
 project. These two rails laid on a road section to feed
 electric vehicles which pass over .
 These rails are actually two feed lines each representing
 positive and negative pole to conduct current . To test the technology,
 a 400m long road was created in the city of Hällered , Sweden.
 The principle is simple: rolling over , with a collector vehicle
 current can recover electrical energy and use it to stay
 operational. The current of 750V obtained will then be taken to a
 water cooling.
 However , designers specify that lines only work when a car through it. There is therefore
 from electrical hazards if a pedestrian crosses the road electric . In the future, it would allow
 troubleshoot those who are short of full battery drive , or even to go fully recharge at home
 or in a station if the project is extended to all existing roads. Electric cars would become
 completely autonomous and constantly charged batteries.

GPS and sensors integrated in a motorcycle helmet

 Although there are already GPS motorcycle , a Russian startups present an idea
 ingenious offering a more efficient and effective navigation tool.
 Indeed, it will be integrated directly into the helmet to facilitate the task
 motorcyclists.
Developed by LiveMap this high tech headphones, powered by two batteries
 has a car navigation system and a control interface to
 voice . This is a device that attempts to meet the requirements of bikers
 providing navigation similar equipment to that which is used by the pilo-
 your hunt. A virtual screen will be projected onto the visor to display
 translucent images so as not to distract the driver's attention and sup-
 ne and a clear view of the road.
 But the headset is also based on augmented reality to optimize
 navigation . Slightly larger than standard helmets , it has a
 microphone and a pair of headphones for voice control.
 A light sensor , gyroscope and digital compass complement its embedded systems. designed by
 carbon fiber , it would weigh only 1.4 kg and marketing would begin in 2014 in the United States ( 2015
 France) at a price of around € 1,500.

The modular air transportation clip

 Unless you live right next to an airport, the aircraft is probably not the
 first user conveyance . Yet a new project aims to
 combine various means of transport in a single solution. The school poly-
 Federal technique Lausanne, Switzerland presented its Clip -Air concept.
This modular device could revolutionize transportation and airports.
 Clip -Air looks like a flying wing under which come to
 grafting to three capsules freight or passengers from direct
 ment of the railway. The idea is part of the study of large trains
 speed which locomotives have increasingly forms
 aerodynamic times of aeronautics.
 The concept would allow travelers to take the train to the airport,
 before their train is fixed under the wing in question to go towards
 national or international destinations.
 Modular, Clip -Air would accommodate cargo capsules when there is not enough passengers in
 transporting capsules to profitable flights . Once at the airport, the capsule is fixed again on a
 trainset , and continued on to the stations present in the heart of cities.
 The idea is to bring more flexibility to travelers while ensuring a minimum fill .
 Ecology is also in focus as the project account embark 150 passengers per capsule , as
 an A320 , while consuming significantly less fuel (the school announced up to 3 times a month unit
 equivalent capacity). At this level, the Clip -Air could work with current fuels, but also with
 clean fuels ( biofuels , hydrogen ... )
 In development since 2009, the project is presented as viable, but require a few more years before
 consider each application. A model of the concept with a wingspan of 1.20m was presented to the living room
 Bourget in June 2013

A mega rail speeding 6500 km / h

 A train capable of connecting San Francisco to Los Angeles in 30 minutes?
 This is what the entrepreneur Elon Musk unveils its project called
 Hyperloop , which should be positioned as a fifth means of transport,
 based on a high-speed system and powered by solar energy.
Have you always dreamed of traveling at a speed beyond imagination ?
 This could become a reality if we are to believe the statements made by Elon Musk,
 co-founder of SpaceX and Tesla Motors.
 This evoked a " mega train" barreling at 6500 km / h and that would make
 the journey between the east coast and the west coast of the United States in less than an hour!
 Hyperloop is described as a fifth transport means based on a
 Ultra-fast system and powered by solar energy. According to Elon Musk , the Hyper
 loop would be " a cross between a Concorde, a rail gun and table
 Air Hockey " .
 Although invented after the plane, train , car and boat, is Hyperloop
 clearly would position as the fastest means of transport.
 The billionaire spoke for the first time in 2012. He claimed Hyperloop working on a way to project
 transportation, inspired by the high-speed train from the California government. The peculiarity of this process was that it
 and that it would not derail insensitive to the weather. In addition, it would move twice as fast as a medium plane .
 The peculiarity of the Hyperloop that the entire design and its technology will be released as open source. Elon
 Musk says he would be happy to expand its product with partners. Considers it important to share
 this new technology because it would avoid unnecessary loss of money . Thus, any business or individual
 will have access to design the Hyperloop .

Cars without driver in an English town

 Technological advances driverless cars make a lot about
 of them, but those vehicles will not be part of everyday life for quite
 moment. However , it is certainly in the field of transport
 the first rounds of automated wheels will be held for the general public.
Thus, the town of Milton Keynes, located a hundred of kilometers
 very north of London , decided to implement without minibus
 driver. Dubbed " ultra pods" and built by Ultra Global PRT ,
 these small vehicles have the appearance of tiny subway trains or
 auto matic tram. They are driven by an electric motor capable
 ble to make them run at a speed of about 20 km / h.
 These "pods " or " capsules " will carry at least two
 passengers and their luggage for two pounds (about € 2.40 ) .
 British town of Milton Keynes did not really invent this
 concept of rolling capsules without driver.
 They are already used to Heathrow Airport near London,
 since 2011. Between the terminals 21 similar vehicles
 provide the link . To access this service, it will be necessary to
 reserve the pod via a smartphone.
 But beware, no question of interfering with traffic. These cabins will have their own lanes and
 marked by railings. They incorporate a trip computer , managing a similar technological arsenal
 one that can be found in the driverless car (GPS , sensors, high-definition cameras).
 It will be able to automatically brake to avoid spilling a possible pedestrian or hit an obstacle on its
 way. And in case of large seed , passengers can take control of the vehicle.
 Milton Keynes has already budgeted for the establishment of a hundred of these vehicles for the service to be functional
 in 2015 , with full deployment expected in 2017. They should replace some of the existing bus network
 to get passengers to the city center office districts and the railway station .
