FASTER AND CHEAPER THAN METRO OR BULLET TRAINS

Future Is Here! Elon Musk’s Hyperloop To Come In India




This world is packed with many advantages of technology. We all rely on technology very much. Every day we come across many interesting inventions and news. Now, developers are inventing a Hyperloop technology which will make your tour experience unproblematic.
Hyperloop technology is the latest method of means of transportation. It is like a Pod vehicle which has vacuum tubes. It will travel at a speed of 1200km/hourElon Musk is the originator of Hyperloop technology. The task is named as “Hyperloop One” which is sourced in the US.
In the official website of the company, they have posted that the “Hyperloop is the latest method to transport persons and object from one place to another at a speed of air travel. The transporting will be done at a low cost like the price of a bus ticket. The Hyperloop is very popular, cost-effective and reliable. You can call it as a broadband for transportation.
The company has decided to execute the Hyperloop technology in four possible ways in India. The possible ways between:
  1. Bengaluru – Thiruvanthipuram
  2. Chennai-Bengaluru
  3. Mumbai-Chennai
  4. Mumbai-Delhi
Traveling in Hyperloop One will finish the journey from Chennai to Bengaluru in only 30 Minutes. Presently, it takes about an hour to complete the distance between Chennai to Bengaluru by air tour. We can tell that Hyperloop One will be more rapid and comfortable than airways.
Hyperloop technology is already launched for the way between Dubai and Abu Dhabi and it takes around only 12 minutes to complete the journey. The execution for the inauguration of this technology might acquire approximately five years more. Still, there is no doubt that this latest technology will refurbish the tours.
The company is waiting for the permission from the government. They will start the project as soon as the permission is granted. The starting cost of traveling will be expensive as the price of the building is Rs. 72 crore per kilometer. The value of tickets can be approximately Rs. 6,000.

Helmet that can detect accidents that u may do

In-helmet Accelerometer Research


Real-time accelerometer data collection is a novel method available to researchers who are attempting to better understand the biomechanics of mTBI, but the earlier study designs were limited and unable to provide a realistic and meaningful interpretation of the data. For example, in a multisport study, Naunheim et al.attempted to investigate the linear accelerations sustained by high school student-athletes - specifically, an ice hockey defenseman, football offensive lineman, football defensive lineman, and a soccer player. A triaxial accelerometer was inserted within a football and ice hockey helmet, and linear acceleration values were recorded during actual play. The data obtained from the soccer player allowed for limited interpretation firstly because there was no method of affixing the accelerometer to the player's head so the soccer player wore an instrumented football helmet. Secondly, game data were not captured; instead, the soccer player was asked to head 23 balls kicked to him or her at a standardized velocity. The mean linear acceleration measured in the football and ice hockey players was 29.2g and 35.0g, respectively.
Duma et al.  were the first to use acceleration-measuring technology in helmets for large numbers of athletes during normal practice and game situations. His group used the Head Impact Telemetry (HIT) System technology (Simbex, Lebanon, NH) incorporated within the Sideline Response System (Riddell Corp.; Elyria, OH). A major component of the HIT System is a unit composed of six spring-loaded single-axis accelerometers that are inserted into football helmets (Fig. 1). Duma et al. reported the magnitude of head impacts to be 32 ± 25g. This contrasts the range of 20g to 23g in a similar sample of Division I collegiate football players studied by our University of North Carolina research group using the HIT System technology. The football-related data reported by Naunheim et al. also are much higher than our observed football impact data, which averaged 22g of linear acceleration.[ A statistically significant difference was then observed by comparing the linear acceleration of head impacts of football players across three different event types. Head impacts sustained in helmets-only and full-contact practices were significantly higher than those sustained in games or scrimmages. This finding was somewhat surprising, given that our earlier investigations found the incidence of concussion to be 6–8 times higher in games than practices. Furthermore, our preliminary data in youth ice hockey players suggest that mean linear accelerations average about 19g. Although the earlier study by Naunheim et al. represented an important advance toward real-time data collection, her group was limited by a very small sample and did not transform the data to render it to be normally distributed; this tends to overestimate the actual linear acceleration values measured and leads us to believe that the actual values were probably closer to those captured in the more recent studies involving the HIT System.

Vespa is making an electric version of its iconic scooter

                                     

VESPA IS MAKING ELECTRIC VERSION OF SCOOTEERS


Electric scooters aren't hard to find, but you haven't had any luck if you wanted the most recognizable scooter of them all, a Vespa -- the Italian machine has run on fossil fuels since its inception. At last, though, the brand is catching up with the times. It recently unveiled a Vespa Elettricaproject that, to no one's surprise, runs on an electric motor. You'd still have the style and maneuverability of a classic Vespa, the company claims, but you'd get a cheaper-to-run, eco-friendly powerplant. There will also be "innovative connectivity solutions." It's not certain what those are, but it's easy to envision checking on your scooter with your smartphone.
The Elettrica should be ready sometime in the second half of 2017. Vespa hasn't divulged pricing. As Gizmodo comments, though, there's a good chance that this could sit on the higher end of Vespa's price spectrum at several thousand dollars or more. Electric vehicles are costlier as a rule, and Vespa might have little trouble charging premium prices for the combination of cutting-edge tech with its famous badge.
