FLORIDA (US)# Tiny unmanned vehicles may one day be able to swarm over under and through hurricanes to help predict the strength and path of storms.

and ocean that can give the vehicles a free ride toward their destination. Once in the vicinity they can be powered off to wait for a particular current of wind or water.
The new vehicles which can be launched hundreds at a time also reduce the cost of hurricane reconnaissance.#
A landing strip to test the aerial vehicles isn t necessary Mohseni just tells them to crash picks them up
The carbon fiber shell of the aerial vehicles is wafer-thin but resilient. With proper funding the vehicles could be tested in a real-world hurricane in two or three years.
In instances where many are lost#as in a hurricane#the data gained outweighs the cost of the lost vehicles Mohseni says.
Production costs would drop if the vehicles were mass-produced. The vehicles also are smart. A cooperative control algorithm allows them to form a network
and learn from the data they take in for example by adjusting their course when needed. This feature makes them useful for applications beyond hurricanes.

#Humancar aims for a healthy planet with healthy drivers At first glance it might look a bit like an elongated pedal car for kids,
The vehicle converts the rowing motion of the driver and any passengers into rotational thrust to charge a battery and power the vehicle in conjunction with an electric motor.
So not only is it healthy for the planet it is healthy for the occupants too.
And as an added bonus the vehicle can also be used store energy and act as a backup power generator to provide electricity to the home.
The Body Steering driver's seat of the Humancarrow, row, row your car...Humancar aims for a healthy planet with healthy drivers History The Humancar is the brainchild of Chief Scientist/Engineer Charles Samuel Greenwood P. E.,who first hit upon the idea for a human
powered car some 40 years ago. Sitting in a traffic jam in Silicon valley in 1968 Greenwood noticed the many overweight commuters sitting in their cars breathing in noxious exhaust fumes.
He was inspired to create a modest modification to vehicles that would reduce the need for conventional fuel,
while at the same time providing exercise. Searching for a full-body workout Greenwood eschewed a bicycle-type mechanism in favor of the rowing-like mechanism
and developed the forerunner to the Impulse PS, the FM-4 (Fully Manual 4 people.
This was a research keletoncar that was built to test the concept of a human powered vehicle
Humancar aims for a healthy planet with healthy drivers NEV The innovative vehicle is dubbed an NEV because it falls into the U s. Department of transportation Neighborhood Electric vehicle (NEV) classification for low speed vehicles.
The car includes seating for four, with rowing handlebars for each passenger. It can be powered by one, two, three or four people, the battery-powered electric motor,
To make the most out of the power generated the vehicle also incorporates a regenerative braking system
Because steering using the rowing handles would be too difficult to control the vehicle is steered by"Body Steering"(read leaning into turns.
According to Chuck Greenwood, Humancar Inc. CEO and son of Charles Greenwood, this is apparently much more intuitive (not to mention more fun) than using a conventional steering wheel.

controls and motors and all these components can be upgraded without needing to replace the entire vehicle.
In the near future the company also plans to integrate proximity braking systems and multi-stage airbags into production units.
Electricity generation The Humancar isn just a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle either. It can also function as an exercise-based human electric power station
or in vehicle-to-grid (V2g) mode to feed electricity back into the grid. A report on CNN showed four people rowing for a couple of minutes generated enough electricity to power a PC for well over an hour.

#Nissan and NASA team up for autonomous drive vehicle development It may seem akin to an alliance between a railway and a submarine manufacturer,
but Japanese automaker Nissan has signed a pact with US space agency NASA to develop self-driving cars.
The five-year agreement announced last week covers a partnership on research and development of autonomous vehicle systems and their commercial applications.

The pact will carry on until 2020 (Image: Nissan) View All the agreement involves scientists and engineers at Nissan's US Silicon valley Research center and NASA's Ames Research center,
also located in Silicon valley. Though such a partnership may not seem logical, NASA has, in fact, been in the car business for over forty years,
ever since the first Lunar rover went for a spin during the Apollo 15 mission in 1971.
"The work of NASA and Nissan with one directed to space and the other directed to earth, is connected by similar challenges,
"says Carlos Ghosn, president and CEO of Nissan motor company.""The partnership will accelerate Nissan's development of safe,
secure and reliable autonomous drive technology that we will progressively introduce to consumers beginning in 2016 up to 2020."
"Nissan says that the partnership will focus on the development of autonomous driving systems, human-machine interfaces, network-based applications,
The ultimate goal is to produce zero emission proof-of-concept vehicles capable of self-navigation in difficult situations,
CNN plans on experimenting with the vehicles in producing video content, while the government agency says the initiative will help to inform its drone policy moving forward."

#Toyota opens fuel cell patents to drive hydrogen society Toyota is serious about hydrogen fuel cell technology.
At this year's Consumer electronics Show, the automaker announced that it will open more than 5,
and provide royalty-free licenses to other automakers and entities. Upon walking into Toyota's CES press conference, the shimmering Mirai under the hard conference room lighting suggested that it might just be a rehashing of the details we already learned at November's LA Auto Show.
Instead Toyota used the Mirai as a jumping off point for what it terms the"hydrogen future.""
""We're leaving the age of hydrocarbons and entering the age of hydrogen to create a hydrogen nonpolluting society,"physicist,
futurist and author Dr. Michio Kaku said from Toyota's dais.""Seventy-five percent of the universe is made out of hydrogen.
"Toyota hopes to help jumpstart this future hydrogen society by sharing its intellectual property. This week's announcement represents the first time that it's sharing patents free of charge.
The automaker helped to grow the gas-electric hybrid market in a similar manner, but those licensed technologies didn't come free."
"At Toyota, we believe that when good ideas are shared, great things can happen, "said Bob Carter, senior VP of automotive operations at Toyota motor Sales,
USA Inc."The first generation hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, launched between 2015 and 2020, will be critical,
requiring a concerted effort and unconventional collaboration between automakers, government regulators, academia and energy providers.
By eliminating traditional corporate boundaries, we can speed the development of new technologies and move into the future of mobility more quickly, effectively and economically."
They will be made available to fuel cell vehicle manufacturers, fuel cell parts suppliers, and hydrogen fueling station companies through an initial market introduction period that Toyota expects to run until 2020.

#BMW VW join forces to build fast-charging stations for electric cars in US German car companies, BMW and Volkswagen are teaming up with Chargepoint to install a network of fast-charging stations for electric cars in the U s. The companies plan to install nearly 100 Chargepoint ports on the U s. East
and West Coasts by the end of 2015 as part of an effort to promote greater sales of EVS such as the BMW i3 and the VW e-Golf.
Chargepoint operates one of the leading EV charging networks, with more than 20 000 charging ports in North america.
Tom Gage, chairman of EV Grid and an expert in electric vehicle charging infrastructure, said BMW and VW were among the largest vehicle manufacturers to help fund development of the U s. charging network. ost people will rarely use it,
but knowing it is there seems to remove a big purchase barrierfor electric vehicles, said Mr. Gage.
Many EVS have relatively short driving ranges of less than 100 miles between charges. The BMW/VW endeavor follows the establishment by California-based electric car maker Tesla motors Inc of an extensive network of fast-charging stations for its battery-powered Model S sedan.
Tesla Supercharger network where Model S owners can quickly recharge their cars for free, now has nearly 2,
000 ports at more than 350 stations around the world, including 160 in the United states and Canada.
The Supercharger port uses a proprietary design that only works with Tesla cars. The Chargepoint network offers several kinds of ports that will accept SAE Combo connectors an industry standard type used on the i3
and the e-Golf as well as the CHADEMO connector used on the Nissan leaf. The stations will also have Level 2 chargers,
BMW and VW said the Chargepoint DC Fast ports will be able to recharge an i3 or an e-Golf up to 80 percent in 20 to 30 minutes.
BMW and VW owners are enrolled automatically. VW and BMW are making equal investments in the Chargepoint venture,
but the automakers declined to disclose financial details l

#Tesla motors#Destination Charging#:#Fast-growing Network Beyond Superchargers One of the most commonly cited arguments against electric cars is range anxiety.
Tesla motors has been rapidly expanding its Supercharger network in the U s.,Canada, Europe, and Asia to combat this fear of not having a place to charge before your battery quits.
But Tesla plan to solve range anxiety goes beyond its Supercharger network. There is another, less-followed network of a different type of charger Tesla has been quietly rolling out at a rapid clip.
which Model S owners can install in their cars for $1, 500 before delivery, or $3, 600 after delivery.
