The solar powered motorcycle The one on top is a real motorcycle. The bottom one is from an old sci-fi movie called Tron. An intro into solar power Solar power is used today as a alternative fuel due to the growing number of harmful effects that come from fossil fuels. The energy (which obviously comes from the sun) will be collected in solar panels on the motorcycle and convert it into usable energy. This energy is clean and renewable. Good points It looks amazing Its user does not need to pay money for gas. There are no harmful chemicals which can destroy the ozone layer released by the bike. Bad Points The device is made up of a glass like material if there is a car crash the rider would be cut badly by the broken panels. The solar panels remove much of the riders vision which may lead to a crash. The solar panels are delicate one bad scratch and they might not work at all. Maglev Car Intro to maglev The maglev technology levitates vehicles with strong magnets to reduce friction. The space between the ground and a vehicle may only be 1mm but as long as there is no contact the friction is reduced. This reduce friction means it takes less energy to move the vehicle which means less gas. The vehicle is not completely maglev thus it still requires gas but the maglev reduces the weight of the vehicle which results in a lowered consumption of gas. Good points The car like the bike looks amazing. There will be a lowered consumption of gas for its user. It lowers the amount of harmful gases from fossil fuel. Bad Points Gas prices may increase if these become popular as the gas companies want more money. They are incredibly expensive as of this moment. If the maglev breaks it will be difficult to get it repaired. It takes a little longer to stop than normal cars due to the reduced friction. Cornershot Intro to Cornershot The origins of the cornershot was developed in world war 1 known as the trench war due to long standoff between soldiers hiding in trenches in most of the wars conflicts. The cornershot’s ancestor was developed then to allow soldiers to shoot out of the trench without exposing themselves to enemy fire. However its design was flawed and it was discontinued soon after its first few battles. The cornershot is a modern attempt at this principle. Good points It allows its user to shoot without exposing himself from cover. It can be easily disassembled and assembled. The device can work with most conventional handguns. Bad Points Reloading is a hassle as you have to remove the firearm from the cornershot to reload it. It runs on batteries if it runs out of power it just becomes dead weight. While it works with most conventional firearms it has to be adjusted for each new firearm loaded into it.
