| Transparent Glass Smartphone | Polytron Technologies | Future Transparent Mobile Phone Posted: 04 Jun 2013 08:15 PM PDT  Polytron Techologies Announces Plans To Design A Transparent Glass Smartphone. Taiwan-based Polytron Techologies, a subsidiary of US firm Polytronix, aims to change the way we look at (and through) glass. The prototype wasn't functional, but did illustrate what a glass-based device could look and feel like. Today's handsets are typically encased in plastic or metal, but Polytron intends to introduce specially designed glass that could contain near-invisible electric wiring. This would create a transparent visual effect, the company told Tech Hive.  The company makes giant projection touchscreens, selectively opaque glass, holographic glass, LED-impregnated glass, color-changing glass, rainbow glass, and glowing glass. Polytron has announced its plans to complete a transparent glass smartphone by the end of 2013. The company has earlier created Polyvision Privacy Glass, which is an electrically switchable, selectively opaque or transparent pane of glass made of glass, conductive material, and liquid crystal film. In its natural state, the central crystalline structure is randomly oriented, scattering incoming light to make the surface opaque but when an electric current is introduced, the liquid crystals line up and become transparent, transmitting light from one side to the other. The other firm's invention is Polytouch Frame, a big transparent touchscreen monitor. The future smartphone prototype seems to rely on the firm's existing technologies, though there's a lot to do.  |
| Graphite Created From Cellulose | Flexible Polymer Circuit | Cellulose Paper | Cellulose Fibers Posted: 04 Jun 2013 07:48 PM PDT Researchers Succeeded In Creating Graphite From Cellulose  The team at Germany's Max Planck Institute has developed a new method for selectively changing paper itself into conductive graphite. These paper circuits can resist the high temperatures used in the production of electronics (unlike polymer-based flexible circuits). Scientists print their target designs onto ordinary paper using an ordinary inkjet printer loaded with a cartridge of an iron nitrate catalyst; when the paper is heated to 800°C (1,472°F) in an oxygen-free environment, the catalyst changes the composition of the paper's cellulose fibers into pure conductive graphite, while the unprinted paper remains unchanged. The resulting "carbon electronics" was selectively conductive by electroplating the paper with copper; only the printed design became copper-coated. They also showed how to make a 3D conductive structure by exposing an origami paper crane to the same catalytic process.  |
| EcoBoomer iGo | Electric Unicycle | Self Balanced Cycle | Gyroscopic Electric Unicycle Posted: 04 Jun 2013 07:31 PM PDT A Self-Balancing Electric Unicycle: EcoBoomer iGo.  The list of self-balancing electric unicycles on the market has been recently filled up by EcoBoomer iGo priced at US$1,595. This is a LED-light-strip-adorned 26-kg (57-lb) vehicle that remains balanced on its 16-inch wheel due to integrated gyroscopes, which detect and account for changes in the rider's center of mass through the two folding footpads. Leaning into the handlebars makes the vehicle move forward, pulling back makes it stop, and leaning to either side makes it turn. The iGo features a 500-watt motor powered by a 48-volt/8-Ah lithium-ion battery, that gets a full charge in three hours. The iGo covers 30 km (19 miles) per charge and has a top speed of 21 km/h (13 mph).  |
| Crossbow Super Motorcycle | All Weather Proof Bike | Ride Without Helmet Posted: 04 Jun 2013 07:18 PM PDT  Crossbow motorcycle is a hundred percent electric motorcycle that doesn't require a rider to wear a helmet. Phil Paulev has designed an extreme all-weather next level safety motorbike with a canopy cover. This shield-like canopy cover protects a rider from any kind or danger still leaving freedom to provide control at low speeds.  This Crossbow motorcycle looks sharp and provides aerodynamics for high speed performance. At low speeds, the unique design helps the rider maintain stability and full control over the vehicle by allowing them to comfortably place their feet in an optimum ergonomic position. The beautifully styled automatic canopy adds to the rugged appeal of the all-weather bike and makes it perfect for urban environments, leisurely weekend drives through the countryside as well as the racetrack.    |

Ummm... Where to begin with this motorcycle. Obviously this was not designed by anyone who has spent ample time on a motorcycle. And please, do not comment if you have not put a considerable amount of hours in the "saddle", as you will lack the ability to understand the many flaws in this design. There are many questions I would like to pose to the "designer". Here is just the beginning. Question Thread)How will the rider be able to sit up/stand up, stretch, wheelie, lean into turns, counter steer, the list is long. This is a "perfect" design if you are continuously going straight with no stops. But, that is far from how people ride in the real world. Perhaps this would be perfect for the novice salt flat racer. BMW has adopted something similar to a scooter, but then again, its a scooter (not so much lean necessary). This design may work if there were 4 tires and two independently shifting frame side by side that gave support to the rider in a turn. Plus this would alleviate the the placing of feet on the pavement at a stop. Back to the drawing board. YOUR VVELCOME!!!
