Neglect your crossbreed car: Nowadays, individuals can take a trip utilizing the wind alone. It's what drives land luxury yachts that move over snow and ice or roll on wheels over land-- powered by rotors gathering power from the wind upwind.
It's an approach that integrates love, fond memories and sustainability. But can it work?
3. The Love of the Land
For centuries man has made use of wind power on the sea, but two Germans have actually harnessed the winds of the land to complete a legendary trip throughout Australia. Traveling on an automobile called the Wind Traveler they collected energy from the movement of the earth's surface area and transformed it into electrical power, enabling them to go across 5,000 km (3,107 miles) with a minimum of fuel. This is an excellent instance of just how a business design can prosper when based upon predicable inputs.
4. The Love of the Sky
Typically, wind power has been utilized to take a trip on the sea, yet 2 Germans lately completed a 5,000 km (3,107 mile) road-trip in their automobile that transforms solar and wind power right into power for the wheels. Their aptly named Wind Explorer uses both sails and blades to gather the power of the wind. It's not unusual for the rotor-powered lorries to attain ground speeds that exceed that of the wind, even when traveling directly downwind.
One of the most interesting enigmas in aviation includes an airborne Agatha Christie thriller, an Agatha Christie at 10,000 feet-- Romance of the Skies, a Pan Am flight that disappeared in 1959, with 42 souls snorkeling trips bvi on board. The plane's loss confused Civil Aeronautics Board detectives, whose investigation was closed with "no possible cause." Ken and I are hoping that someday the CAB will resume the questions with 21st century modern technology, to discover what truly occurred. Perhaps the tape will expose an explosion, or a struggle in the cockpit with a psycho, or the blaring increasing scream of a runaway prop.
