Head-up Display for Passenger Vehicles: In-car Technology

Researchers at Cambridge have unleashed an era of Head-up displays (HUD) using laser holographic techniques. The technology has introduced for the first time into Jaguar Land Rover vehicles. The human machine interface has developed to project data like speed, direction and navigation directly onto the windscreen. It’s an attempt to provide, relevant and real time information to the driver in a non-intrusive way.

The Spike S-512 Supersonic Jet: World’s Fastest Airliner with 1,370 mph Speed Limit

In an attempt of re-inventing the future of travel, Spike Aerospace has unleashed the world’s fastest airliner, the S-512 Supersonic Jet. Effortlessly, the S-512 is able to touch a supersonic gliding speed of Mach 1.6, which is around 1,220 mph while its upper limit is nearly the speed of 1,370 mph equivalent to that of Mach 1.8. The US-based aerospace engineering & design company affirmed that in order to concretize the concept, they are willing to shed $80 million. Upgrading travelling A similar concept called SABRE (Synergistic Air-Breathing Rocket Engine)…

Tesla Powerwall: Energy Storage System for a Sustainable Home

Elon Musk aka Tony Stark of the real life leave no stone unturned when it comes to denting the universe. He concretizes stuff which we can only dream off. His idea of privatizing space travel with Space X, revolutionizing conventional automobile mechanics by introducing electric cars via Tesla motors, his unconventional open tube transport system, the Hyperloop are not the ‘only’ examples of his unlimited desire for uplifting the future of humanity. He has now come up with an energy storage system for home users, called the Powerwall.
