The global agony because of rising fuel prices brought about concept cars that you might be driving in a few years time. The future cars will be very efficient, clean, and will no longer need petrol.Most manufacturers are exploring possibilities of building green cars for mass market. Trials runs are…

Asteroids impacts the earth with a certain frequency, has done so and continue to do so up into our days. It will do so in the future as well. Predictions amongst scientists are that we have a chance for a major impact around 2036.

A rotovator, which is also called as a tether propulsion apparatus, is a method of liftingmaterials into orbit by the use of a very long tether attached to a geo-stationery satellite. A rotovator is also called by the name of rotary tiller, is a machine for digging earth, named from the manufacture of such instruments. A tether propulsion system is the use of very long, very strong cables (known as tethers) for changing the velocity of a spacecraft.

Awnings are overhangs attached to the exterior walls of a building or a home. They are typically made of canvas, woven acrylic, cotton, polyester, or vinyl. They are stretched over a frame of wood, aluminum, iron, or steel. However, aluminum is often the preferred material for its lightness and ease of use and repair.

It is projected that in future aircraft, all power, except propulsion, will be distributed and processed electrically. In other words, electrical power will be utilized for driving aircraft subsystems currently powered by hydraulic, pneumatic or mechanical means including utility and flight control actuation, environmental control system, lubrication and fuel pumps, and numerous other utility functions. These concepts are embraced by what is known as the “More Electric Aircraft (MEA)” initiative.

If you like to know about the future of space exploration, this article might be right for you. It is devoted to memory of Prof. Arthur Kantrowitz, the founder of laser propulsion, a fascinating technology of future space propulsion.
