and now?

This year I'll finish second year of high school, and if everything goes next year I'll have to go to college. I'll have to decide what career to study ...

The only thing that I have 100% sure is that I want to study something technological. Since I was a child, I wanted to study engineering, but I still have not anticipated which one to choose.

As long as I've liked cars, musical instruments, rockets and really anything that goes very fast. I have always liked to try to understand how the things interact with each day, like the instruments, and therefore I would like to understand them in a deeper way. That is why I decided to do industrial engineering, which gives a little of everything.

But when I started high school I saw that it no longer exists. That's why I looked to specialize. The engineer of the automobile caught my attention, but I asked some professors and they told me that I was specializing too much considering everything I wanted to do. This is why I believe that in the end I will go to an automatic and electronic industrial engineering, which will allow me to specialize in all the subjects that I like.

New mercedes

These last days of Mercedes has presented a new range of cars made from the same pieces. This makes construction prices much lower. But what is the best model?

Mercedes CLA 200 CDI: It is an imitation of a coupé. It has a very low nose and is quite small. This one has 4 doors. Although in the seats behind did not fit very well.

Mercedes GLA 200 CDI: It is a larger model on the outside than the previous model. But inside is even a little smaller. This has been solved with larger windows and more ceiling space. It feels more comfortable and larger than the previous one.

Mercedes A 200 CDI: It is a car with more sports style. It has less weight and therefore better acceleration and speed. But it is the one that spends the most fuel. And the rear seats are very small, like the CLA.

Mercedes B 200 CDI: This is a more normal car. It is a great car and comfortable, perfect for a family. It drives very swiftly and does not have excessive consumption.

The autonomous truck

Denis Sverdlov, CEO of Charge, the company creator of the YotaPhone, the first mobile with two screens, said to change the direction of the company.they are going to build autonomous and modular electric trucks for the cities. Furthermore, these trucks will be assembled by an employee in only 4 hours.

The futuristic trucks will have a new design thought to beautify a city, not like the current trucks. They will have a battery that will let them do 100 milles, but they will be able to take a generator that, with gasoline, could reach 500 milles more whith a payload of approximately of 1.500 kg. They will also be completely autonomous, which will allow them to take the most adequate route and reduce traffic jams in the cities. Finally, the more fascinating is that they will be modulators, this means that you can probably make biggest the truck, and add engines, if the cargo needs it. And this can be do it in a few minutes.

Today the trucks are still far from real, but we hope to see them soon in ours moderns cities.

Fusion center

China began to build plans to build a fusion feeder that would use Nadai to convert it into hydrogen. This will generate a lot of energy.

The problem is that in order to generate and maintain the reaction, at the moment an amount of energy is almost higher than the one it generates.

But in the same way you will try to build and optimize. This will help to improve the technology needed to do this. In a few years we may have energy that the only residue it generates would be helium.

We just need a little more budget.

Garbage dump, the orbit

In the space close to our planet there are many humans remains. We can find many satellites. But we can also see more than half a million pieces of human garbage as big as a marble. There is also more than 20,000 rests with the size of a cricket ball. But the most worrisome are the tiny pieces that cannot be detected, but that go faster than a bullet. For that the space agencies must create a method to eliminate these threats. The ESA (European Space Agency) has create a new satellite that can destroy pieces in the space. But that is only an alpha (a proof version), for that reason this machine will release its own trash simulation. Then it tries to recover the trash with four different methods. This is the road to follow for the other agencies.

Have you noticed how ugly the seats of public transport are?

Surely yes. Surely, you've ever entered a bus, a subway, a train ... you've seen the ugly design of the seats. But, why are they so ugly?

Here we have the 4 main excuses:

1: Seating fabrics must pass many tests. They must pass tests of resistance for years, they must be able to clean the stains, they must be fire retardant and not absorb the smoke. This greatly limits the design.

2: Creating a good design is very expensive, and since it is public, you do not have much budget. To make a good design you will need many people and 2 years of work.

3: The fabrics of the buses must last many years, about 15 years on average. In this time the fashions change a lot, for this reason they cannot be done for a fashion.

4: Finally, they say that people do not pay attention to this either, that it is something very basic and that nobody really stops to look it.

the robot biker

Yamaha, the motorcycle brand, has created an autonomous robot to control a motorcycle with four-stroke engine. Motobot 2.0 is the second version of this robot. His goal was to compete for the best time on a circuit with Valentino Rossi.

For the test the motorcycle was not modified.They just put the humanoid on top. This robot was different from stand-alone in a road. This one went by circuit and did not need so many sensors. Finally, it works only with GPS, inclination and speed meter.

After some attempts the machine did not reach Rossi time for 30 seconds. This seems a lot, but exceeded 200 km / h, which is a speed that most motorists cannot reach.

The engineers say that they have learned a lot from this project and that they are already preparing a 3.0 version.
