Ini dia nih, mobil yang menggunakan campuran antara Hidrogen murni + bensin sebagai bahan bakarnya.
Ronn Motor Company, Texas, yang mengajukan pembuatan mobil ini.
It all started when Ronn Motors teamed up with the Hydrorunner G3, which is an onboard water and electrolysis unit.
The result was named Scorpion, a revolution to a new generation of “green cars”.
Scorpion has a 3.5-liter, six-cylinder VTEC engine from Acura, equipped with two turbos and an intercooler to take it from 280 hp to 450 hp (there’s even a 600 hp option).
Combined with the ultra-efficient V6, Ronn Motors claims a boost in mileage of around 20 to 30% and a substantial drop in C02 output.
Most of the hydrogen powered vehicles use fuel cells. Hydrogen is pumped into a tank in the car, just as gasoline. The hydrogen gas is then fed into the fuel cell where it is electrochemically converted into electricity–with no combustion, no moving parts and no emissions other than water vapor. The electricity is used to power the vehicle.
The Scorpion takes another approach – real time Hydrogen Injection fuel delivery system.
This technology consists of a system that generates hydrogen and oxygen from distilled water in real time as the Scorpion moves down the road and delivers these gases to the air intake of an internal combustion engine.
With only 2,200 pounds weighing the Scorpion down, the company estimates fuel mileage at around 40 miles-per-gallon and a price tag of US $250 000.
Sebuah toko kue bernama Green Gables di Tokushima memiliki ide kreatif dengan mendompleng popularitas iPhone. Mereka membuat biskuit coklat dengan bentuk amat mirip iPhone.
Coba lihat, kue ini didesain sedemikian rupa sehingga menyerupai iPhone, lengkap dengan menu di layarnya. Tak disangka, makanan ini laris diminati konsumen.
Adalah Kumiko Kudo, pemilik Green Gables yang memprakarasai kue iPhone pada tahun 2008. Keunikannya membuat keberadaan kue iPhone menyebar dari mulut ke mulut dan juga via Twitter.
"Sungguh mengejutkan melihat reaksi besar ini. Dulunya, kue ini dibuat hanya untuk memenuhi pesanan temanku dan aku tidak berencana menerima order lain," ucap Kumiko, dikutip detikINET dari AFP, Kamis (30/12/2010).
Beberapa waktu lalu, Kumiko bahkan sempat memamerkan biskuit kebanggaannya itu pada presiden Softbank, operator di Jepang yang memasarkan iPhone. Sang presiden, Masayoshi Son, pun terkejut melihatnya.
Mau menikmatinya? Bersiaplah merogoh kocek cukup dalam. Kue berjuluk iCookie ini dijual USD 33 atau sekitar Rp 300 ribu. Itupun konsumen harus memesan dahulu untuk dibuatkan

The world of fungi is diverse and mystifying. Some fungi are delicious fried up or tossed into an omelet, other fungi are sought after for their hallucinogenic properties, and some fungi are thought to be responsible for mass plagues - dancing fever anyone?
Allow me to introduce to you one of the more unusual members of Kingdom Fungi, the Bleeding Tooth Fungus, or Hydnellum peckii which goes by various names often referring to juice or blood. This fungus can be found in North America where it is more common in the Pacific Northwest and resides mostly in coniferous forests. The Bleeding Tooth also makes appearances in Europe and has recently been discovered in both Iran and Korea.
Upon a first glimpse of the bleeding tooth fungus, one may dismiss the ruby-red liquid as the blood of some poor forest creature splattered across the white mushroom cap. When inspected more closely, it becomes obvious that the fungus is oozing liquid through its own small pores. The liquid on most specimens does in fact resemble blood, but can also be light pink, yellow, orange or beige in color. Many describe the liquid as blood-like or juice-like; some may think it resembles liquid candy, (the kind sold in vials at the convenience store). Though not uncommon, many people appear stumped when encountering this unusual shroom out in the wild, as is evident in many forum posts and blogs questioning their sanity and asking simply: “What is this thing?” One would think that the existence of these perplexing fungi would be a hot topic during biology class, it’s hard to imagine a middle school biology teacher passing up the opportunity to gross out the students with bleeding mushrooms, but I could be wrong.
We are often taught not to eat or touch unusual things that grow wild, but the flashy Hydnellum peckii is not considered toxic to humans, just inedible. This unique mushroom obtains its “inedible” status due to the taste of its flesh and juice which are described as “acrid” or extremely bitter and “peppery.”
The aroma of this fungus is often described as being “unpleasant”. The juice itself contains a pigment called atromentin which has been discovered as having anticoagulant properties similar to heparin which is derived from the mucus membranes of slaughtered cattle and hogs. Scientists have also discovered the fungus contains antibiotic properties, effective against streptococcus pneumoniae. The mushroom can also be dried and transformed into a plant based dye for cloth, producing an earthy beige color. Useful as well as mysteriously repulsive, this little fungus is sure to be counted as one of your favorites, that is, once you get over the initial shock of it’s gruesome appearance.

| Mobil sport Korea, Spirra akhirnya resmi diluncurkan di China. Petarung Ferrari dan Lamborghini dari Negeri Gingseng itu dilepas mulai Rp1,3 miliar. Ada empat Spirra yang ditawarkan, yakni Spirra N, Spirra S, Spirra Turbo, dan Spirra EX. Masing-masing ditawarkan dengan harga Rp1,3 miliar, Rp1,6 miliar, Rp1,9 miliar, dan Rp2,5 miliar. Spirra diproduksi oleh Ollim di Korea Selatan. Kantor pusat Oullim terletak di jantung kota Seoul sementara fasilitas manufakturnya berada di provinsi Kyunggi-do, sebelah selatan Seoul. Ada banyak orang penting dalam Oullim, diantaranya beberapa mantan desainer Ssangyong yang dulu menggarap rancang bangun SUV dari merek tersebut. Spirra dibuat menggunakan bahan serat karbon utuh serta rangka tubular space. Penggunaan bahan ini menjadikan bobot mobil sekira 1.320 kg. "Desain Spirra adalah agresif dalam proporsi yang cukup. Tampilan ini dimaksudkan bukan untuk mencitrakan sebuah supercar tapi kepada eleganitas," sebut para desainer Oullim. Semula pihak perusahaan berencana untuk menjejalkan mesin V8, namun akhirnya mesin V6 berkapasitas 2.656 cc-lah yang digunakan. Kabarnya mesin ini dicomot dari keluaran Hyundai. Mesin sebesar itu sanggup menghasilkan tenaga 175 hp dengan torsi 245 Nm. Namun ada pula varian mesin bertenaga 330 hp, 400-420 hp, serta 450-500 hp. Keluaran tenaga sebesar itu dicangkokkan lewat sistem transmisi 6-speed manual yang sanggup melontarkan Spirra 0-100 km dalam 3,5 detik saja. Sebuah hasil yang sangat baik bila dibandingkan Ferrari maupun Lamborghini. Agar mampu meredam kecepatan maksimum Spirra yang sanggup tembus hingga 310 km/jam, piranti rem keluaran Brembo 6 piston di depan serta 4 piston pada belakang dipercaya mampu menghasilkan pengendalian yang cukup signifikan.

Sebuah penelitian dilakukan oleh pakar EFT untuk menunjukkan bagaimana kondisi darah manusia disaat normal, sedih, gembira, jatuh cinta dan saat berdoa. EFT itu sendiri apa sih??? Untuk lebih jelasnya silahkan dibaca disini. Oke, kita lanjutkan saja. Pakar EFT tersebut mengambil sampel darah seorang pasien (Rebecca) kemudian memotretnya dengan menggunakan “darkfield microscope” yang dihubungkan dengan monitor komputer. Dan tampaklah perubahan drastis pada darah Rebecca tersebut setiap kali emosinya berubah. Berikut ini adalah foto darah seorang Rebecca sebelum dan sesudah melakukan EFT.
Sebelum melakukan EFT
( sel darah merah menggumpal disebabkan oleh Lectin yang didapat dari alergi ayam & alpukat )
Sesudah melakukan EFT
( sel darah merah menjadi normal kembali )
( sel darah merah menggumpal disebabkan oleh Lectin yang didapat dari alergi ayam & alpukat )
Sesudah melakukan EFT
( sel darah merah menjadi normal kembali )
Kemudian Rebecca melakukan EFT lagi dan mengundang emosi “sedih” dengan cara memikirkan saat-saat sedih sampai dia menangis, lalu sang pakar EFT ( Dr. Felicy) mengambil sampel darahnya lagi.
Kondisi darah saat sedih
( sel darah begerak cepat dan berbentuk air mata )
( sel darah begerak cepat dan berbentuk air mata )
Lalu Rebecca menggunakan EFT untuk mengundang energi “cinta” untuk memasuki tubuh dan darahnya. Dan seketika darahnya kembali normal, dan sel-sel darah bergerak dengan indah dan timbul substansi yang berkilauan dalam cairan darah
.
Kondisi darah saat merasakan cinta:
( sel darah bergerak pelan dan cenderung berkumpul )
Kondisi darah saat merasakan cinta:
( sel darah bergerak pelan dan cenderung berkumpul )
Satu kenyataan menarik pada sampel darah saat “sedih” terjadi perubahan seperti pada sampel darah saat “merasakan cinta”. Jadi walaupun darah itu sudah meninggalkan tubuh Rebecca ia tetap masih berhubungan dengan pemiliknya.
Kemudian seorang Rebecca mengundang rasa takut dan memikirkan kejadian menakutkan yang pernah ia alami. Dan sel-sel dalam darahnya bergerak tidak beraturan dengan sangat cepat (ditunjukkan pada gambar dibawah dimana terlihat sel-sel darah saling berjatuhan). Mungkin ini adalah akibat dari produksi adrenalin sebagai reaksi normal atas rasa takut.

Lalu Rebecca mecoba untuk memikirkan “sifat feminine Tuhan”. Dan memohon kepada-Nya untuk menyalurkan energi feminine itu kedalam tubuh dan darahnya. Saat berdoa tersebut, Rebecca merasakan seperti ini “saya merasakan gelombang energi yang begitu besarnya menyelimuti diri saya, saya sampai menangis bahagia karenanya”, begitu Rebecca tersebut menggambarkan pengalamannya. Saat sampel darah Rebecca diambil setelah berdoa dan merasakan pengalaman religius itu, kemudian dilihatkan dibawah mikroskop yang dihubungkan dengan komputer, semua yang hadir dilaboratorium itu seketika terdiam dan terpana karena melihat komdisi darah yang sama sekali berbeda dengan yang lain, cairah darahnya sangat cerah, gerakan sel darah sangat tenang seakan bergerak dengan penuh kedamaian, muncul banyak substansi yang berkilauan. Di dalam sel darah terdapat substansi yang bercahaya dan berdenyut seperti denyutan jantung mini.
Kondisi darah saat berdoa
(timbul substansi putih berkilauan dan darah bergerak pelan dan sangat teratur)
