Ten of the taxi for bombs of the future: a futuristic overview

Ten of the taxi for bombs of the future: a futuristic overview

 Mikhail Boyarsky calls green-eyed taxi to slow down,  but readers  Novate.Ru  know that  progress  is impossible to slow down. Here are the inventors and designers to invent new machines and new projects  with checkered. What will be the taxi in twenty years? Single, solar, electric, water, intelligent ... Meet the top ten projects taxi of the future!


Solar taxi-bus

 The project "Renault Runner",  proposed by  the designer, Walter Robert (Walter Robert) -  a luxury solar-powered  taxi. The machines can connect with each other, forming a bus: the axes are arranged in such a way that they are relatively easy to redirect. In a transport can be connected to three stores.

Taxi for gigapolisov

 The next project in our top ten taxi of the future  offers a new  way of ordering transport. Passengers pass through the checkpoint, using a credit card, and sets the destination.  He was immediately put into a separate machine, and then attach it to a small auto. In the auto of such passengers  will be  few, and  all of them  it will take roughly the area of  ​​ destination, and there too they disperse themselves. This is very beneficial in huge cities like Tokyo, where  the bill for  travel  from edge to edge can make a considerable amount. Taxi concept proposed Ford Motors, and design decision  belongs  to Eva  Toftum  (Eva Toftum).

Taxi Tram

 Concept Metrotopia a little similar to the previous draft.  There  are also several individual machines are compiled into one - only it turns out not auto, and a tram. Each machine is  individually  takes up very little space due to vertical orientation. Thanks to the gyroscopes and a system of checks, single-wheel machine will be stable.  But it is hardly safe enough.

single elektrotaksi

 Another project on the topic  belongs  elektrotaksi  Portuguese  designer  David  Vidal  (David Vidal). The project will appeal to those who do not want to ride in his car, but often travels around the city.  User purchases a ticket (for example, for a year) and skip to the electric trolley takes the single one of the many  parks.  And then  rides  as you like. Such a scheme  has been implemented in Barcelona with bicycles.

Taxi gondola

 Taxi - is not necessarily land transportation. Water taxis are very relevant to coastal cities. Dublin Design Studio Curve Creative  offers a  water taxi  project, which can be hired on loan - as well as electric trolley  in the previous draft. Due to lack of time counter for transportation must be very like tourists in Venice, St. Petersburg and other "pearls of the sea."

Solar taxi to Venice

 The next project in our top ten taxi of the future -  Solar Top  transportation  for traveling in canals of Venice. It runs on solar power. Lack of Solar Top - low maneuverability, and the big plus - the electric motor, which will not pollute  the already  dirty  channels.  Unfortunately, the solar cell will be unable to provide the motor energy, so that it will take elektrozapravki.

Green taxis for Mumbai

 In the crowded city of Mumbai (India) with the petrol motor trishaw  taboo: it was very noisy and they pollute the air.  Designer  Michael  Scherger  (Michael Scherger) offers Indian fish is to change to "green" povozochki to be recharged from the mains  "elektrozapravok." Maximum speed  taxi - 30 km / h. A nice bonus in the Indian  climate -  full disclosure of the vehicle, but in case of rain it will be possible to push the roof.

Taxi-2025: Mercedes Nimbus

 The next taxi in the top ten developed Slavcho Tanevskim (Slavche Tanevski). The car looks futuristic, but the unusual design is an exact calculation: of meniyu Developer 2025, Li-Ion Batteries will be able to  fully  meet the needs of the car. Taxi-Mercedes Benz all-wheel drive will be (on the four electric motors), and can carry 5 people, or 3 with luggage.  Your project  Tanevsky  called  Nimbus,  but not spent by JK Rowling  and the world's first  taxi (and it was Victoria, built by Daimler in 1897).

Taxis without drivers

 The saddest thing about the future for the bombing - OPTI. Project Piliste Paul (Paul Piliste)  involves  a complete rejection of the taxi drivers: they will be replaced robots, obedient, reliable, courteous and sober. And most importantly - do not require a salary. The project is also designed in 2025.

Arab taxi cab drivers without

Do you think the previous project - a fantasy? The future enters into our lives now. The project operates a taxi without the driver  in the capital of United Arab Emirates, Abu Dhabi. A couple of years ago, the first smart cars left on the streets  of the future of Masdar City.

This concludes our dozen taxi. And the future - starting right now.

Top 10 mobile phones

Top 10 mobile phones

10. Samsung Galaxy S
Though it has now been surpassed by the Galaxy S 2 (with its dual-core processor), the Galaxy S remains one of the best Android phones on the market - and now at a cheaper price.

9. LG Optimus 2X
The first of the new breed of super-powered smartphones that run on dual-core processors, this slim handset from LG also offers Full HD video recording and playback.

8. Google Nexus S
Google's latest Nexus ticks a lot of boxes, but loses marks for its rather plasticy shell and occassional lagging. We love the internet browsing experience, good battery life and its bright screen, though.

7. HTC Incredible S
Fancy the HTC Desire S but want a slightly bigger screen? This might be the handset for you, since it comes with a four-inch display (as opposed to the Desire S 3.7-inch screen).

6. HTC HD7
Our pick of the current crop of Windows Phone 7 mobiles, the HD7 has a huge, responsive screen and Microsoft's impressive new mobile operating system. A 'pro' version, with slide-out keyboard, can also be had.

5. HTC Desire S
HTC has quickly made a name for itself as a market-leading mobile manufacturer and the Desire S is one of its best. It's a strong upgrade on the original Desire and packs the latest version of Android.

4.Motorola Atrix
A powerhouse of a phone, with huge potential that just falls short of where we'd like it to be. The laptop docking option with the Atrix is a fantastic addition, but the experience could be improved. That said, it is overall a fantastic handset, and another leader among the growing Android clique.

3. Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc
The Xperia Arc is a stunner, thanks to its 4.2-inch display and wonderfully thin profile. It runs the latest version of the Android operating system and has a really excellent camera.

2. Apple iPhone 4
The iPhone 4 is a stunning smartphone backed up by the equally brilliant App Store. But after remaining our top handset for most of the past year, it's finally been knocked down into second place.

1. Samsung Galaxy S2
A Samsung is an absolute joy to use - so much so that we struggled to find a flaw with it. From its gorgeous Super AMOLED Plus screen to its super-fast processor and full HD video recording, it ticks all the boxes and then som.

Parse the new Apple iMac Intel 21.5 "EMC 2428 Teardown

 Operatives portal iFixit on the traditionally high level - hardly in the online Apple store has a new 21.5-inch iMac EMC 2428, he was immediately taken to a testing laboratory and has undergone painstaking disassembly. No surprises did not happen - as the previous generation iMac, «the first line of defense is a protective glass screen perfectly removes with a pair of suction cups.

Inside the sample is parsed the following configuration:- Intel Core i5 2,5 GHz with 6 MB L3 cache;- Hard Drive 500 GB Western Digital 7200 rpm;- 4 GB of RAM;- Graphics Card AMD ATI Radeon HD 6750M;- LCD screen with a diagonal of 21.5''LED-backlit display and a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels (matrix production of LG is the same as in the previous generation iMac);
Located outside the battery terminals:- Audio line in and out,- Four USB 2.0,- Firewire 800,- Gigabit Ethernet, and Thunderbolt.- Slot SDXC located near the optical drive.
In general, no surprises emerged, overall rating of maintainability of the new 21,5''iMac Release iFixit: 7 out of 10 (the higher the score, the easier it is to fix the device on its own). LCD matrix and a protective cover is easily removed, the core components are replaced without any problems. Replacing the graphics chip or the CPU will require extraction of the motherboard that can "get" anyone - would have to unplug the set of connectors and jiggle the card in different directions, pulling it out. Install the screen and protective glass as perfectly as it did at the factory, is unlikely to succeed, so I have to live with it.

Tri-Star IV a robot rover (5 photos + video)

It is quite logical move offered a team of engineers at Tokyo Technical Institute, led by Professor Shigeo Hirose. In cooperation with the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, they have developed a unique lunar rover that can go on any terrain. As it turned out, the machine will be useful to examine the Fukushima or the lunar surface, which consists of very small particles, much smaller than Earth sand. Therefore, the challenge is to keep the machine on a given surface. The developers refused to use in the construction of tracks, which provide sufficient stability, but have low maneuverability.
Therefore, they used the wheel, consisting of a curved springy metal sheet, coated sheet and plates with notches. This allows the car to pass and on the sand and stones, and, naturally, on artificial surfaces. For example, in the rubble at the Fukushima nuclear power plant-1. Developers are confident that a more serious test a new robot and can not think of.
