Carbon Nanotubes
to be used in innovative safety technology to prevent explosions in Fuel Tanks.
Multi-wall carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are to be used in an innovative safety technology that significantly reduces the risk
of explosions in fuel tanks. MWNT (multi wall carbon nanotube) is use to manufacture the newly developed spheres
designed to prevent the formation of explosive gas mixtures in fuel tanks. The spheres are soon to be introduced onto the
global market under the name SAFEBALL. They offer considerable advantages over the extruded metal mesh or plastic
foams used for this purpose to date. SAFEBALLS take the form of hollow spheres that are introduced into a tank and
completely fill it. Despite this, the available volume of the tank is only reduced by approx. 8.5 percent.
Two of the advantages of SAFEBALLS are that they not only prevent an explosive mixture of gas and air in a tank from exploding, but also allow
the tank to "breathe", so that significantly smaller quantities of hydrocarbons are released into the environment. In this way, the spheres can also
make a significant contribution to environmental protection in the future.
Their special shape allows fuel to flow freely but prevents any dangerous surging. Surging occurs when large volumes of liquid are displaced, for
example while a road tanker is in operation, thus affecting the vehicles stability and even potentially causing it to tip over. When a tank is to be
cleaned, the SAFEBALL spheres can easily be removed and then replaced once the operation is complete. They are also treated with anti-fungal
and anti-bacterial agents.
All these benefits are due not least to the exceptional properties of nanotubes MaterialScience. Nanotubes exhibit a high level of electrical
conductivity and mechanical strength and are extremely light in weight.
"Without carbon nanotubes it would have been impossible to develop the technology so quickly” the inventor of the SAFEBALL concept, at the
signing of the agreement. "Bayer Material Science was our first choice supplier right from the start, because we knew we could rely absolutely on
the specified purity and quality of the CNTs and, even more importantly, on BMSs ability to deliver the raw materials we need to meet increasing
order volumes."
SAFEBALLS can be provided with a range of additional functions for special applications. These include fire-extinguishing - for which a special
gel is incorporated into the spheres - and the integration of active and passive transponders that enable vehicle data to be electronically stored to
prevent theft or provide information on maintenance.

Why T-90
is the Main Battle Tank in the Indian Army?

The T-90 is a Russian main battle tank (MBT) derived from the T-72, and is currently the most modern tank in service with the
Russian Ground Forces, Naval Infantry and the Indian Army. The successor to the T-72BM, the T-90 uses the tank gun and
1G46 gunner sights from the T-80U, a new engine, and thermal sights. Protective measures include Kontakt-5 ERA, laser
warning receivers, the EMT-7 electromagnetic pulse (EMP) creator for the destruction of magnetic mines and the Shtora
infrared ATGM jamming system. It is designed and built by Uralvagonzavod, in Nizhny Tagil, Russia.

The Design

The T-90's main armament is the 2A46M 125 mm smoothbore tank gun. This is a highly modified version of the Sprut anti-tank
gun, and is the same gun used as the main armament on the T-80-series tanks. It can be replaced without dismantling the inner
turret and is capable of firing armour-piercing fin-stabilized discarding sabot (APFSDS), high-explosive anti-tank (HEAT-FS),
and high explosive fragmentation (HE-FRAG) ammunition, as well as 9M119M Refleks anti-tank guided missiles. The Refleks
missile has semi-automatic laser beam-riding guidance and a tandem hollow-charge HEAT warhead. It has an effective range of
100 m to 6 km, and takes 17.5 seconds to reach maximum range. Refleks can penetrate about 950 millimetres (37 in) of steel Specifications
armour and can also engage low-flying air targets such as helicopters.
Weight 46.5 tonnes (45.8 LT; 51.3 ST)
Length 9.53 m (31 ft 3 in)
The NSV 12.7 mm (12.7x108) anti-aircraft machine gun can be operated from within the tank by the commander and has a range Width 3.78 m (12 ft 5 in)
of 2 km and a cyclic rate of fire of 650-750 rounds per minute with 300 rounds available. The PKT 7.62 mm (7.62x54mm R) Height 2.22 m (7 ft 3 in)
Crew 3
coaxial machine gun weighs about 10.5 kg while the ammunition box carries 250 rounds (7000 rounds carried) and weighs an Armor Steel-composite-reactive blend vs APFSDS: 550 mm + 250-280mm

The Future: Hybrid Electric Vehicle

A hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) combines a conventional internal combustion engine (ICE) propulsion system with an
electric propulsion system. The presence of the electric powertrain is intended to achieve either better fuel economy
than a conventional vehicle, or better performance. A variety of types of HEV exist, and the degree to which they
function as EVs varies as well. The most common form of HEV is the hybrid electric car, although hybrid electric trucks
(pickups and tractors) also exist.

Modern HEVs make use of efficiency-improving technologies such as regenerative braking, which converts the
vehicle's kinetic energy into battery-replenishing electric energy, rather than wasting it as heat energy as conventional
brakes do. Some varieties of HEVs use their internal combustion engine to generate electricity by spinning an
electrical generator (this combination is known as a motor-generator), to either recharge their batteries or to directly
power the electric drive motors. Many HEVs reduce idle emissions by shutting down the ICE at idle and restarting it
when needed; this is known as a start-stop system. A hybrid-electric produces less emissions from its ICE than a
comparably-sized gasoline car, as an HEV's gasoline engine is usually smaller than a pure fossil-fuel vehicle, and if
not used to directly drive the car, can be geared to run at maximum efficiency, further improving fuel economy. The Toyota Prius is the world's top selling hybrid car, with cumulative global
sales of 1.6 million units by early 2010
Developments
Automotive hybrid technology became widespread beginning in the late 1990s. The first mass-produced hybrid vehicle was the Toyota Prius, launched in Japan in 1997, and followed
by the Honda Insight, launched in 1999 in the United States and Japan. The Prius was launched in Europe, North America and the rest of the world in 2000. The first generation Prius
sedan has an estimated fuel economy of 52 miles per US gallon (4.5 L/100 km; 62 mpg-imp) in the city and 45 miles per US gallon (5.2 L/100 km; 54 mpg-imp) in highway driving. The
two-door first generation Insight was estimated at 61 miles per US gallon (3.9 L/100 km; 73 mpg-imp) miles per gallon in city driving and 68 miles per US gallon (3.5 L/100 km; 82 mpg-
imp) on the highway. The Toyota Prius sold 300 units in 1997, 19,500 in 2000, and cumulative worldwide Prius sales reached the 1 million mark in April 2008.[36] By early 2010, the
Prius global cumulative sales were estimated at 1.6 million units. Toyota launched a second generation Prius in 2004 and a third in 2009. The 2010 Prius has an estimated U.S. EPA
combined fuel economy cycle of 50 miles per US gallon (4.7 L/100 km; 60 mpg-imp).

The Audi Duo III was introduced in 1997, based on the Audi B5 A4 Avant, and was the only Duo to ever make it into series production. The Duo III used the 1.9 litre Turbocharged Direct
Injection (TDI) diesel engine, which was coupled with an 21 kilowatts (29 PS; 28 bhp) electric motor. The redesigned 2004 Toyota Prius (second generation) improved passenger
room, cargo area, and power output, while increasing energy efficiency and reducing emissions. The Honda Insight first generation stopped being produced after 2006 and has a
devoted base of owners. A second generation Insight was launched in 2010. In 2004, Honda also released a hybrid version of the Accord but discontinued it in 2007 citing disappointing
sales. The Ford Escape Hybrid, the first hybrid electric sport utility vehicle (SUV) was released in 2005. Toyota and Ford entered into a licensing agreement in March 2004 allowing Ford
to use 20 patents[citation needed] from Toyota related to hybrid technology, although Ford's engine was independently designed and built. In 2006, General Motors Saturn Division
began to market a mild parallel hybrids in the form of the 2007 Saturn Vue Green Line which utilized GM's Belted Alternator/Starter (BAS Hybrid) System combined with a 2.4 litre L4
engine and a FWD automatic transmission. The same hybrid powertrain was also used to power the 2008 Saturn Aura Greenline and Mailbu Hybrid models. As of December 2009, only
the BAS equipped Malibu is still in (limited) production.

In 2007, Lexus released a hybrid electric version of their GS sport sedan, the GS 450h, with a power output of 335 bhp. The 2007 Camry Hybrid became available in Summer 2006 in
the United States and Canada. Nissan launched the Altima Hybrid with technology licensed by Toyota in 2007. For the 2009 model year, General Motors released the same technology
in their half-ton pickup truck models, the 2009 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra Two-Mode Hybrid models. The Ford Fusion Hybrid officially debuted at the Greater Los Angeles
Auto Show in November 2008, and was launched to the U.S. market in March 2009, together with the second generation Honda Insight and the Mercury Milan Hybrid.

Latest Developments
The Hyundai Elantra LPI Hybrid was unveiled at the 2009 Seoul Motor Show, and sales began in the South Korean domestic market in July 2009. The Elantra LPI (Liquefied Petroleum
Injected) is the world's first hybrid vehicle to be powered by an internal combustion engine built to run on liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) as a fuel. The Elantra PLI is a mild hybrid and the
first hybrid to adopt advanced lithium polymer (Li–Poly) batteries. The Elantra LPI Hybrid delivers a fuel economy rating of 41.9 miles per US gallon (5.61 L/100 km; 50.3 mpg-imp) and
CO2 emissions of 99 g/km to qualify as a Super Ultra Low Emission Vehicle (SULEV).[49] Hyundai has scheduled the launch of the 2011 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid by the end of 2010.
The Mercedes-Benz S400 BlueHybrid was unveiled in the 2009 Chicago Auto Show, and sales began in the U.S. in October 2009. The S400 BlueHybrid is a mild hybrid and the first
hybrid car to adopt a lithium ion battery. The hybrid technology in the S400 was co-developed by Daimler AG and BMW. The same hybrid technology is being used in the BMW 7 Series
ActiveHybrid, expected to go on sales in the U.S. and Europe by mid 2010. The CR-Z is scheduled to be launched in the European and North American markets by mid 2010. Honda
has also scheduled the launch of the 2011 Honda Fit Hybrid by the end of 2010. Toyota announced plans to add hybrid drivetrains to ten new hybrid models between 2009 and 2012 and
expects to sell worldwide one million hybrids per year early in this decade. Two of Toyota's latest concept cars are the Prius Custom Plus Concept and the Toyota FT-CH (Future Toyota
Compact Hybrid). The Prius Custom Plus is a modification of the Toyota Prius and shown at the 2010 Tokyo Auto Salon.

Volkswagen announced at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show the launch of the 2012 Touareg Hybrid, scheduled for 2011. VW also announced plans to introduce diesel-electric hybrid
versions of its most popular models in 2012, beginning with the new Jetta, followed by the Golf Hybrid in 2013 together with hybrid versions of the Passat. Other gasoline-electric
hybrids already schedule for commercial sales are the 2011 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid and the Porshe Cayenne Hybrid, both for late 2010, and the Lexus CT 200h in 2011.

Choppers: The Easy-Rider EXCLUSIVE

An Overview

What exactly is a Chopper?

The definition is fairly flexible, varying from one region to another, but in general, a Chopper is a customized minimalistic design of a motorcycle with essential parts to make it roll on the road. Within the
motorcyclist community, there's a group of enthusiasts who like to get back to the basics. They want to ride bikes that are powerful, fast and stripped down to the bare essentials. They might take an existing bike
and tear it apart, or they might start from scratch to build a bike to their own specifications relieved of excess weight by removing parts, particularly the fenders, with the intent of making it lighter and thus faster, or
at least making it look better in the eyes of a rider seeking a more minimalist ride giving birth to the ‘Chopper’.

A quick look at the past...

The history of the chopper begins shortly after World War II. Many of veterans removed the front fender from the bikes. The rear fender often came in two pieces the soldiers removed the rearmost section. They
called the new, shorter fenders "bobbed" fenders, and so people who rode bikes with these sorts of modifications were called bobbers. Movies like "Easy Rider" and "The Wild One" brought choppers to the
public's attention. In the 1980s, motorcycle companies like Harley-Davidson began to offer what they called custom bikes, mass-manufactured motorcycles based off the most popular chopper designs. Coupled
with an economic recession, this move nearly made chopper culture go extinct. It was only in the mid-'90s that custom bike shops began to flourish again, and today the culture is as strong as it ever was.

Formed in 1999 Orange County Choppers (OCC) has

distinguished itself as one of the world’s top builders of
custom bikes. The machines being build at OCC are
custom motorcycles that are hand crafted by the trio -
Mikey, Paul Junior and Paul Senior, or best known as the
Teutuls family from American Chopper. Chipzilla, the bike

The Iron Pillar of Delhi

The iron pillar of Delhi, India is a 7 meter high pillar in the Qutb complex which is notable for the composition of the metals used in its construction.

The pillar, which weighs more than six tons, is said to have been fashioned at the time of Chandragupta Vikramaditya (375–413),though other authorities
give dates as early as 912 BCE. The pillar initially stood in the centre of a Jain temple complex housing twenty-seven temples that were destroyed by Qutb-
ud-din Aybak, and their material was used in building the Qutub Minar and Quwwat-ul-Islam mosque. The pillar and ruins of the temple stand all around the
Qutb complex today. The pillar is 98% pure wrought iron, and is a testament to the high level of skill achieved by ancient Indian ironsmiths. It has attracted
the attention of both archaeologists and metallurgists, as it has withstood corrosion for over 1,600 years in the open air.
The pillar, almost seven meters high and weighing more than six tons, was erected by Chandragupta Vikramaditya (375 CE–414 CE), (interpretation based
on analysis of archer type Gupta gold coins) of the Gupta dynasty that ruled northern India 320–540. The pillar with the statue of Chakra at the top was
originally located at a place called Vishnupadagiri (meaning “hill with footprint of Lord Vishnu”). This has been identified as modern Udayagiri, situated in
the vicinity of Besnagar, Vidisha and Sanchi.
The pillar bears a Sanskrit inscription in Brahmi script which states that it was erected as a standard in honour of Lord Vishnu. It also praises the valor and
qualities of a king referred to simply as Chandra, who has been identified with the Gupta King Chandragupta Vikramaditya (375-413). It is believed by some
that the pillar was installed in its current location by Vigraha Raja, the ruling Rajput Tomar king.One of the inscriptions on the iron pillar from A.D. 1052
mentions Rajput king Anangpal II.Made up of 98% pure wrought iron, it is 7.21m (23 feet 8 inches) high, with 93 cm (36.6 inches) buried below the present
floor level, and has a diameter of 41 cm (16 inches) at the bottom which tapers towards the upper end. The pillar was manufactured by forge welding. The
temperatures required to form such a pillar by forge welding could only have been achieved by the combustion of coal.[citation needed] The pillar is a
testament to the high level of skill achieved by ancient Indian iron smiths in the extraction and processing of iron.
A fence was erected around the pillar in 1997 in response to damage caused by visitors. There is a popular tradition that it was considered good luck if you
could stand with your back to the pillar and make your hands meet behind it.

Mikoyan MiG-29
MiG-29 (disambiguation)

The Mikoyan MiG-29Russian is a 4th-generation jet fighter aircraft designed in the Soviet Union for an air superiority role. Developed in the
1970s by the Mikoyan design bureau, it entered service with the Soviet Air Force in 1983, and remains in use by the Russian Air Force as well as
in many other nations. The NATO name "Fulcrum" was unofficially used by Soviet pilots in service. The MiG-29 along with the Su-27 were
developed to counter new American fighters such as the F-15 Eagle, and the F-16 Fighting Falcon.

In 1969 the Soviet Union learned of the U.S. Air Force's "F-X" program, which resulted in the F-15 Eagle. The Soviet leadership soon realized
that the new American fighter would represent a serious technological advantage over existing Soviet fighters. What was needed was a better-
balanced fighter with both good agility and sophisticated systems. In response, the Soviet General Staff issued a requirement for a
Perspektivnyy Frontovoy Istrebitel (PFI, literally "Perspective Frontline Fighter", roughly "Advanced Frontline Fighter"). Specifications were
extremely ambitious, calling for long range, good short-field performance (including the ability to use austere runways), excellent agility, Mach
2+ speed, and heavy armament. The aerodynamic design for the new aircraft was largely carried out by the Russian aerodynamics institute
TsAGI in collaboration with the Sukhoi design bureau.

Design

Powerplant
The MiG-29 has two widely spaced Klimov RD-33 turbofan engines, each rated at 50.0 kN (11,240 lb) dry and 81.3 kN (18,277 lb) in afterburner.
The space between the engines generates lift, thereby reducing effective wing loading, to improve maneuverability. The engines are fed
through wedge-type intakes fitted under the leading-edge extensions (LERXs), which have variable ramps to allow high-Mach speeds. As an
adaptation to rough-field operations, the main air inlet can be closed completely and alter using the auxiliary air inlet on the upper fuselage for
takeoff, landing and low-altitude flying, preventing ingestion of ground debris (foreign object damage [FOD]). Thereby the engines receive air
through louvers on the LERXs which open automatically when intakes are closed. However the latest variant of the family, the MiG-35,
eliminated these dorsal louvers, and adopted the mesh screens design in the main intakes, similar to those fitted to the Su-27.

Range and fuel system

The internal fuel capacity of the original MiG-29B is only 4,365 litres distributed between six internal fuel tanks, four in the fuselage and one in General characteristics
each wing. As a result, the aircraft has a very limited range, in line with the original Soviet requirements for a point-defense fighter. For longer

HOW TO WORK SMART The Six-Stroke Engine

IN YOUR JOB ?
What do you live for?
Work, Power, money?
Watts the use, Have you ever drilled your
Mind?
Running around amidst Milling Crowd,
Aren’t you ever Bored of revolving round?
When you gear up for a promotion
You are screwed and get just a motion
From One office to another
Like a dummy toy fixture
Once a while you have moments of Inertia
But your boss wants you fly to Siberia
For a task which you think a trivia
It’s not Horse power but the Modulus of
Elasticity
That determines your success and Efficiency.
If your Modulus of Rigidity is too high
Juniors with Young’s Modulus will fly high!
If you are in friction with your boss
Someone with Lube and Coolant will pass!
IF your short temper shows Flash Point
You may soon be in Fire Point!
Under the hood of almost all modern automobiles there sits a four-stroke internal combustion engine (ICE). Though the efficiency of the
design has been improved upon significantly in the intervening years, the basic concept is the same today as that used by the first practical
four-stroke engine built in the 1870s. During every cycle in a typical car engine, each piston moves up and down twice in the chamber,
resulting in four total strokes… one of which is the power stroke that provides the torque to move the vehicle. But the automotive industry may
soon be revolutionized by a new six-stroke design which adds a second power stroke, resulting in a much more efficient and less polluting
alternative.
In a traditional ICE cycle,
1) the fuel/air valves open as the piston moves down, which draws air and fuel into the chamber;
2) the valves close as the piston moves back up, putting the air/fuel mixture under pressure;
3) the mixture is then ignited, causing a small explosion which forces the piston back down, which turns the crank and provides the torque;
and finally
4) the exhaust valves open as the piston moves back up once again, pushing the byproducts of the fuel explosion out of the chamber.
This leaves the piston back in its starting position, ready for another cycle. This process is repeated thousands of times per minute. The clever
new six-stroke design was developed by 75-year-old mechanic and tinkerer Bruce Crower, a veteran of the racing industry and a the owner of
a company which produces high-performance cams and other engine parts. He modified a single-cylinder engine on his workbench to use
the new design, and after fabricating the parts and assembling the powerplant, he poured in some gas and yanked the starter rope. His
prototype worked. His addition to the ICE design is simple in principle, yet a stroke of genius. After the exhaust cycles out of the chamber,
rather than squirting more fuel and air into the chamber, his design injects ordinary water. Inside the extremely hot chamber, the water
immediately turns to steam– expanding to 1600 times its volume– which forces the piston down for a second power stroke. Another exhaust
cycle pushes the steam out of the chamber, and then the six-stroke cycle begins again. Besides providing power, this water injection cycle
cools the engine from within, making an engine’s heavy radiator, coolant, and fans obsolete. Despite its lack of a conventional liquid cooling
system, his bench engine is only warm to the touch while it is running. Offsetting that, of course, would be the need to carry large quantities of
water, and water is heavier than gasoline or diesel oil. Preliminary estimates suggest a Crower cycle engine will use roughly as many gallons
of water as fuel.Bruce Crower holds a patent on the new design– which he is still developing and tweaking– but he estimates that eventually
his six-stroke engine could improve a typical engine’s fuel consumption by as much as forty percent.

BIODIESEL: Futuristic Fuel
The essential process for making diesel fuel out of biomass, was used in the 1800's for its primary product, glycerin for soap. It was
also used exclusively in Rudolf Diesel's engine from the time he invented it until the 1920's, when modifications were made to the
engine so that it could accept Number 2 diesel, a residue of petroleum. People have made their own biodiesel for use in their engine
since the 1970's, and it has become an increasingly popular alternative today.

Biodiesel is a diesel replacement fuel made from etherification of new and used vegetable and animal oils. Biodiesel, just like
You must constantly leverage on your
ethanol and petroleum, can be blended with regular diesel fuel. Blends of biodiesel and diesel up to B20 (20% biodiesel, 80%
