XB-70 Valkyrie

XB-70 Valkyrie – Wikipédia: “O North American XB-70 ‘Valkyrie’ foi concebido para o Comando Aéreo Estratégico da Força Aérea dos Estados Unidos, na década de 1950, como um bombardeiro nuclear de alta altitude, com velocidade de cruzeiro de três vezes a do som (Mach 3). O custo proposto da aeronave, juntamente com mudanças tecnológicas, levaram ao cancelamento do programa. Embora a proposta de um frota de bombardeiros nunca fosse concluída, dois protótipos voaram na década de 1960, realizando pesquisas para o projeto de aeronaves supersônicas de grande porte. Um dos protótipos foi destruído em 1966 após uma colisão no ar e o outro está exposto no Museu Nacional da Força Aérea dos Estados Unidos.”

Wearable Mouse Concept From Microsoft : A Techno-wonder In Our Hands – Gizmo Watch

Wearable Mouse Concept From Microsoft : A Techno-wonder In Our Hands – Gizmo Watch: “The sheer speed with which technology is moving ahead makes it hard for us to keep abreast with all the new inventions that take place everyday. Making life better and easier is the only way to explain such efforts and this concept right here is no exception to this assumption. The repetitive exercise of moving your hand to and fro to type on the keyboard and then scroll the cursor can get really irritating for some Fortunately, now Microsoft has a remedy for this. This wearable mouse concept from Microsoft enables you to wear the mouse over your hand and scroll the cursor by making a fist, while the left and right click can be activated with your thumb. Apparently, it uses the same technology as Wiimote and works on the gyroscopic principle. Only time will tell how soon this concept catches up but once it does, I am excited to see what replaces this one, I mean what could be more convenient than this?”

Tractor Across Space In The 3D Spacetractor Concept – Gizmo Watch

Tractor Across Space In The 3D Spacetractor Concept – Gizmo Watch: “Realism is reaching new heights with designers using 3D imaging to create life-like concepts, all on the computer. The Spacetractor too is a 3D concept by a designer who calls himself Exor. What is amazing is the entire design has been modelled digitally with Cinema 4D and the rendering has been done with the Finalrender software. Coming to the Spacetractor, it looks more like a futuristic locomotive, but one that rides on thin air, with jet engines underneath it. This means that the driver will actually sit on the jet engines as the Spacetractor motors across space. A butch front grille with stacked headlamps and lots of tubing all around makes the Spacetractor one very mean looking toughie. The Spacetractor even has rust marks on it’s tough metal body making it look very real. Though it is just a 3D concept with absolutely no news of it geting into the prototype stage, we give it a perfect ten for designer Exor’s very realistic rendering which almost brings this Spacetractor to life.”

Transistors Go Atom-sized – Gizmo Watch

Transistors Go Atom-sized – Gizmo Watch: “In yet another innovation that could further Moore’s law and make it much more relevant, even in the future, we now have a transistor created by British scientists that rivals an atom in size. The transistor which has dimensions of 1 atom in thickness and 10 atoms in width is made up of a new material called graphene. Graphene is a hybrid material made up of graphite and has a structure like chicken wire. Electrons travel ten times faster in graphene than in silicon and this makes graphene an ideal material to be used by semiconductors of the future. The chicken wire structure also enables better electrical conductivity. These factors in combination with miniaturization makes the new graphene transistor a material that we all could see in electronic gadgets of the future.
