Two Solar Vehicles That Would Use by James Bond
Most often we see a car based on alternative energies such as solar cars, hydrogen or hybrid … we think of designs that not look normal or even ugly.
However, it is not happened on Koenigsegg Quant. Well, besides having a strange and difficult name to pronounce, is a solar car-shaped sports capable of accelerating from 0 to 100 in 5.2 seconds. that could get to use some the upcoming film Batman or James Bond.
This is a prototype car with an electric motor that would be covered by a thin layer of a material which would function as a solar panel. This solar panel that covers the car is used to charge the internal battery of the engine, something could be done also with a normal plug in just 20 minutes.
What is interesting is that apparently the Koenigsegg Quant could enter production soon, through the Swedish company Saab … but I fear that if you do not want a cheap way out the door.
Moreover, the Code-X-Yacht, is a mini-yacht designed by the Swiss Code X AG works together with gas and solar …
Not only has a futuristic design, including solar panels on top, but it also moves through a Formula 1 engine, so you can imagine the speed you can reach.
At the moment no price idea available.
Earth 2100: Do You Know How The End of The World?
Although much has been said on this, we still do not know when it will be the end of the world. Anyway it does not matter because the American television network ABC is inviting people to tell the world how to live our society in the years 2015, 2050 and 2100. ABC has created a report with all the information about how will our society and the state of the world in those years. You only need to turn on the camcorder and tell the story.
Lately it is both speaking of the end of the world that seems to be fashionable. And as both resonated, until now the major television networks joined the game. Is for channel ABC, which together with some partners created a game where those who wish can send their video imagining what it would be to live in the world of 2050 or 2100.
However it is not improvised. Has certain rules. The first thing the user is reading the reports of the conditions under which the land in 2015, 2050 and 2100, depending on location. For this, the creators received a briefing from scientists and experts, on the alleged state of the earth and our society in these years.
Having read the reports can create a video reporting and imagining what life in one of the three years. The video can be as prepared as you want, but recently the producer, Michael Betts, said that they preferred those who were filmed in first person and relate what happened. That does not mean that they reject the very produced, are also welcome.
Until now there are so many videos as you would think, but some stand out more than others. Not only those who are in first person, which are very well made, but some very interesting films. Beyond this program end up being one of only two hours with little material from the videos, it does not seem such a bad idea to think about the consequences of our actions and spark the imagination of some young people.
Once the game, ABC will take video and mixed with the views of scientists, historians and economists in a documentary that transmit the same string in a special two hours.
Whatever, if it reaches the end of the world due to rapid population growth and global warming, the only hope that this Chuck Norris on our side.

Suntrics SolarStrap Review
The current summer weather was just perfect for a test of the new solar charger from Suntrica. The Finns have three new, mobile charger (SolarStrap, solar and solar Badge Badge Pro) on the market, which is by its very lightweight and flexible design composition, and thus easy walking or cycling can be taken. We have tested the SolarStrap, which is easy thanks to a Velcro fastener to backpacks or clothing can be affixed. With just 60 grams of SolarStrap is also extremely light and not further disturb the luggage. On one side are the flexible solar cells affixed to the other battery.
With luggage in a variety of adapters (USB, Mini USB, Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Motorola, etc.). The battery has a capacity of 3.7 Wh/980mAh. In the first test, we have SolarStrap a full day (9 to 18 clock) in the direct sunshine leave. According Suntrica aims to direct sunlight for an energy intake of 50mA range. In light cloud, it is for 35mA, with heavy cloud cover for 20mA. In the test, we have a simple mobile phone (Nokia 2760) are used. First we have the battery fully discharged. After 9 hours charging in the direct sun, we then SolarStrap connected to the phone. After about 2 hours charging the battery was completely drained of SolarStrap. The mobile phone battery, however, was only about a sixth charge, for which only a short operating time is sufficient.
In the second test, we have SolarStrap as proposed Suntrica attached to a backpack and have this one day (also in bright sunshine) on the move skillfully. Unfortunately the result was disappointing: The battery of SolarStraps had only a quarter charged, for which only a short mobile phone operation alone. While it is the battery of the solar-Straps via charger (accessories) charge, but is certainly not the meaning of a solar charger. Therefore, we have this function not tested.
Conclusion: The SolarStrap is lightweight and can be simply to take outdoor trips. Thanks to its flexible process, it can also sometimes be a little pile a share. While there Suntrica the loading, in which the battery is fully charged, should have, with 12 hours (in optimum conditions), but we could in our simple test fails to perform. After 9 hours in full sun gave it only 40 to 50 percent charge. Who goes on longer trips, should not be alone on the left and his SolarStrap devices (mobile phones, GPS, etc.) prefer to predict fully recharge, and possibly even a replacement battery pack.
The SolarStrap is purely a backup energy source. As the sole supplier of energy is the solar charger does not, otherwise you could in the sun despite the rain. Nevertheless, the SolarStrap a good figure. Who has time to make SolarStraps of the battery can fully recharge, the unit can but in any case growth. For the price, availability, there is still no information.
