2022-06-14 01:44:08 Kengoro robot capable of sweating

Here is a sweating robot created by the University of Tokyo.

Kengoro has 108 electric motors that need to be cooled somehow. To do so, the researchers 3D-printed parts of the robot's skeleton with microchannels inside. Distilled water flows through them and evaporates, thereby cooling the structure.

Normally, a 56-kilogram robot takes only half a cup of water to cool for a day of intensive work. Open / Comment

2022-06-13 01:17:05 Wayne Buys from South Africa has created a unique futuristic motorcycle FMC Storm.

The main external feature of the bike is a futuristic aluminum body, which, as a knight's armor, "shrouded" Storm. The motorcycle is assembled like a construction set. The trim is attached to the fuel tank inside with a locking nut around the gas cap. Another fastener is located underneath the seat.

All body panels are joined together with small hex fasteners that mimic the rivets on an airplane fuselage. Open / Comment

2022-06-12 00:18:10 Nissan engineer created a robot duck

A Japanese engineer at Nissan created a robotic duck called The Aigamo. The gadget is designed to help grow rice.

The robot duck is more similar to a small robot vacuum cleaner than to a real animal. The device has two eyes on its body. The robot duck's feet are two rotating screws that grind the soil and keep the weeds from sprouting. In addition, with each movement, the "paws" saturate the water with oxygen. The gadget weighs one and a half kilograms and navigates in space with the help of GPS. Open / Comment

2022-06-07 21:48:35 The seaplane of the future "flies" on water at 250 km/h

The tests take place in the SINTEF ship model tank in Trondheim. Elfly Group has now developed and is testing a fourth version of the model.

If Elfy succeeds, the plane of the future will be electric, environmentally friendly, quieter and fly on shorter routes and from more places.

"We're talking zero emissions and an electric motor that makes only a faint buzzing sound," the project authors explain. The seaplane will take off and land on water and will be equipped to launch from airfields. Open / Comment
