So my honorable friend Dennis pointed me toward this little gem. The Smart Fortwo car. It’s itty bitty. I’m guessing it’s secretly a TARDIS because how are you going to fit two supersized A-mer-a-cuns in it otherwise? Somehow I’m thinking that the Walmarters of the world aren’t going to be that interested…cuz, you know, it’s only got 2 cupholders. Seriously though it gets incredible mileage as you might expect, and is perfect for urban living. Finally we’re taking a page out of the European book of car design; smaller is often smarter.

Apple schools us on what ultra-mobile computing can be. Forget those paperback book sized bastardizations…this is a workin’, travelin’ machine.

Finally, a handy Map of the Universe

Cosmologists at the University of Durham have produced a map of the distribution of matter in the Universe. The simulation took a supercomputer 11 days to produce and could help shed light on the nature of dark energy - a repulsive force thought to counteract gravity.

So, here’s a novel idea: The sun isn’t really the product of a massive stable fusion reaction like we’ve been thinking, instead it’s more like a giant electrical anode in an infinite electrical field. That’s the gist of the Electric Sun theory anyway. Until recently, proponents used to cite all the anomalous solar behaviour that we observe that can’t quite be accounted for in the solar fusion model, e.g sunspots, the solar corona, the “neutrino deficit” etc, but now they have very recent NASA experimental observations and results that provide compelling evidence for their claims. Check out the articles and see for yourself. NASA’s THEMIS satellites recently meaured auroral substorm activity (the stuff that makes the Northern Lights) at the north pole and linked it directly to massive ropes of electrical plasma extending from the sun to our planet’s poles. So, we get an arc from the Sun to Earth, and Voila! A lightshow.
the NASA/JAXA (Japan) HINODE satellite project has measured cathode ray activity on the surface of the sun and they match the theoretical projections and observations of electrical experiments done earlier in the century.

“NASA’s Time History of Events and Macroscale Interactions during Substorms (THEMIS) mission observed the dynamics of a rapidly developing substorm, confirmed the existence of giant magnetic ropes and witnessed small explosions in the outskirts of Earth’s magnetic field. The findings will be presented at the annual meeting of the American Geophysical Union in San Francisco in December.”…

“Angelopoulos was quite impressed with the substorm’s power and he estimated the total energy of the two-hour event at five hundred thousand billion Joules. That’s equivalent to the energy of one magnitude 5.5 earthquake . Where does all that energy come from? THEMIS may have found the answer.

“The satellites have found evidence of magnetic ropes connecting Earth’s upper atmosphere directly to the sun,” said David Sibeck, project scientist for the mission at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Md. “We believe that solar wind particles flow in along these ropes, providing energy for geomagnetic storms and auroras.”

The MDI Air Car - The World´s Cleanest Car.
Welcome to the future - it’s about friggin’ time, eh? Finally, an airpowered car…how cool is that??

After fourteen years of research and development, Guy Negre has developed an engine that could become one of the biggest technological advances of this century. Its application to Compressed Air TechnologyCAT vehicles gives them significant economical and environmental advantages. With the incorporation of bi-energy compressed air fuel the CAT Vehicles have increased their driving range to close to 200 km with zero pollution in cities and considerably reduced pollution outside urban areas.
The application of the MDI engine in other areas, outside the automotive sector, opens a multitude of possibilities in nautical fields, co-generation, auxiliary engines, electric generators groups, etc. Compressed air is a new viable form of power that allows the accumulation and transport of energy. MDI is very close to initiating the production of a series of engines and vehicles. The company is financed by the sale of manufacturing licenses and patents all over the world.
