• 1.Actual efficiency of the engine 80%
• 2.Engine works in cold conditions, temperature reached is 45-50%
• 3.The engine life is four times more than that of internal combustion engine, thanks to the low working temperature.
• 4.The working life of an engine reaches 3.600.000 km
• 5.The blasting chamber is separated from the engine set, in this way it transmits minimum heat.

• 8.The kit can be installed to any kind of explosion engine (motorcycles, cars, trucks, agricultural vehicles) without 9.annulling its use of original combustible. This means that it could choose the kind of fuel to be used. These are called 10.HYBRID ENGINES. The approximate cost of this kit will be between 1.100€ and 2.000€, installation included.
• 11.The gases emitted by the exhaust pipe are reduced by 90%, making it ECO-FRIENDLY ENGINE
• 12.Fuel prices are between 0.08€ and 0.10€, depending on the quality of the components.
• 13.Care and maintenance for a cold external engine are minimum compared to a traditional engine.
• 14.The raw material reserves of the world ate 20 times more abundant than that of petroleum. In Spain grand 15.reserves of different kinds are found.

Recording precious moments on video has become a lifestyle for many people, but carrying a bulky camcorder can be a hassle. iRes Technology introduces a camcorder that may well become the standard for convenience. The uCorder IRDC250 Camcorder-Webcam combo is a step higher from its IRDC150 predecessor as it not only allows you to record videos while simply clipping the mini-camcorder in your shirt pocket or wearing it with a lanyard, but also works as a webcam when plugged to a PC or Mac.

This wearable video camera recorder only measures 3.5 inches in length and can record VGA-quality video files with audio in AVI format at 640 x 480 resolution (pretty much the size of a YouTube player). It has an internal memory of up to 2GB, which is expandable up to 8GB with an optional microSD card. The uCorder IRDC250 can record up to 7 hours of video on expanded memory and has a USB plug for easy file transfers to any computer, without the need for added software. The USB connector also serves as its power charger.

Other features include a LED flashlight, neck strap, clothing clip, USB cable, and clip-on bracket. Because of its size, you have to take note that this mini-camcorder does not have a viewfinder.

The uCorder IRDC250 Camcorder-Webcam Combo is available on iRes official website for only US$99.99, plus shipping and handling.

$75 Tablet Concept

Despite the criticisms of being quixotic about its plans, the One Laptop Per Child project (the group behind the XO, also known as "the hundred-dollar laptop" before being priced at US$172 upon release) is gunning for something big in 2012 with its XO-3 tablet. Geared for children in developing countries, this 8.5-by-11-inch tablet computer is said to be priced at only $75.

The XO-3, which is half the thickness of an iPhone, will feature a touchscreen display with a folding ring on one corner for easier handling and a camera at the back. It will also have no physical keyboard or buttons. To keep the price at a down-low, this tablet will feature induction charging, pretty much like how Palm Pre is charged by placing it on the Touchstone, and will use an 8GHz processor and Pixel Qi display. The OLPC also aims the XO-3 to be highly durable, all-plastic, and waterproof.

How would these technologies become accessible before the Earth tilts by its side? The OLPC simply allows any other PC maker to take over the project, their way of pressuring the industry to provide cheaper and more education-focused PCs.

And while we wait for the XO-3 to become a reality, OLPC is set to release newer models beginning January 2010, starting with the $200 XO-1.5 that uses a VIA CPU instead of the AMD version in the pioneer model, which would double the speed, as well as provide four times the DRAM and Flash memory. The group will also release the XO-1.75, which will feature rubber bumpers on its casing and an 8.9-inch touchscreen display. The XO-1.75 will have a Marvell ARM processor that enables twice the speed at a quarter of power usage. Sorry, though, no XO-2.0.

Nike One

The Nike ONE was designed by Phil Frank and Takuya Asano. Phil Frank, also responsible for the design of the Saleen S7, led the small design team, and kept the concept true to Nike's sporting pedigree. While the shape of Nike One is taught and dynamic, the real genius lies beneath the skin.


The designers wanted to make the car an extension of the future athlete, and as such, control inputs are made through the main muscles of the legs and arms, the Nike ONE requires peak physical perfection for maximum performance. The drivers sits in a laid-out-motorcycle rider position, their feet harnessed into pedal bike like clip-on foot pegs, and their hands are connected to the vehicles CPU via non-invasive bio-ports which allow for a direct man and machine neural interface. This enables the driver to fine tune the control inputs by the power of thought. This is a concept remember.

The fictional 'history' of the Nike ONE's development is a well thought out and thoroughly entertaining story. It begins in 2012 with Nike inventing a 'Spark Suit'.




The Spark Suit was originally designed to provide resistance training to athletes by hindering movement and therefore building muscle and improve coordination. The suit used the wearers energy to provide electrical energy, energy which was initially dissipated in the form of light. Nike engineers soon realised however that this energy could be stored and used later to power electrical systems.


In a slightly implausible, but still clever future vision, the worlds population began to make all their electrical power simply by living more active lives. Obesity and ill health are all but eradicated. In this super-fit future world the Nike ONE steps in as a racing vehicle. Powered by the energy stored from the drivers activity, the Nike ONE is capable of 230 mph. Top drivers of the Nike ONE become revered and famous athletes. To compete at a high level the drivers must train vigorously to power the cars batteries and attain the stamina required to drive this 230 mph gym.

The Nike ONE driver, seated on a Nike SHOX suspension seat, is assisted with a heads-up display showing race line tracking, energy reserves, and vital information. The teardrop-like glass is NikeMax Optics Smart Glass with the ability to change color for optimal contrast and clarity. The hub-less wheels with in-wheel motors and variable profile tires are attached to carbon fibre and titanium weave suspension and frame components.

“You don’t just drive this vehicle, you are a part of it,” explains Phil Frank. This is what a concept car should be.
