Ford hold Research to observe Dandelion for Interior Materials

FLOWERS Dandelion does look lovely, but for some people, he is considered a weed that must be kept trimmed during the summer for these plants do not meet in a wild garden.




Because growth is so rapid and abundant, Ford and Ohio State University are investigating the use of white sap contained in the roots of Dandelion as a new basic material manufacture rubber that can be utilized as the base material of rubber and plastic components such as interiors and floor coatings vehicle.

"We are always looking for new sustainable materials to be used on our vehicle, which left little trace of carbon when manufactured and can be grown locally," said Angela Harris one of the researchers at the Ford engineers.

Ordinary synthetic plastic is not too good for the environment so that Ford's search for replacement materials that have properties more environmentally friendly and sustainable, adds Angela.

Ford will sort of rubber-based Dandelion for customized fit on a particular component before continuing into the production phase to ensure durability of how strong the material was on the condition of the vehicle is quite extreme.

Of the various species of Dandelion that exist, only a few species are suitable used as material for rubber. The project itself using species of the Russia-Dandelion Taraxacum kok-saghyz. And like Dandelion in general, it is very easy to grow.

Unbelievable! Urine-Fueled Cars

A company based in Athens, Ohio, USA and the students at Ohio University has been researching ways to produce energy from human urine, and to prove this technology to function, the team is making a small car driven by human urine.

In theory, the existing content of urea in the urine contains a lot of hydrogen. With extract them it will be presented a lot of energy through the hydrogen gas produced. And for that, E-3 Technologies, a company based in Athens, Ohio, is developing a urine-processing technology as its core.

Problem raw materials later will be available in various ways. Starting to get it from the public toilets and offices, or holding a larger collector through cooperation with the factory
waste water treatment.

So, for now, do not pee in the tank of your car before this technology allowed for it.

Testing Anti-collision System and V2V's technology's Tried in 6 U.S. Cities

TECHNOLOGY communication between the vehicle (Vehicle-to-vehicle/V2V) is not new in the United States at this time. Most of the V2V system is served to warn drivers of potential danger from other vehicles.


This system performs its function through the exchange of information through the transmitter and receiver system on the vehicle data that can be mutually connected to each other. Each vehicle with this system will transmit data, such as speed and location to the other vehicles around him and sign on the road markings are equipped sensors.

With this technology, drivers will more quickly know the existence of another vehicle that was stopped in an area where the position is very difficult if not impossible visible. Motorists also can immediately find out the position when some other vehicle entering an intersection the same simultaneously.

This technology is expected to eventually be combined with autonomous technology (vehicles that can drive myself) to eradicate or at least reduce the accident rate.

Currently Depertement of Transportation (DOT) in the United States took steps in the field of V2V, by holding a trial carried out in real traffic conditions that involve a number of brands and models of cars.

V2V DOT project relies on short-range communication technology (Dedicated Short-Range Communications / DSRC). The cars listed on V2V program will be equipped with DSRC devices that can communicate with DSRC on other vehicles within range of 1000 yards (914.4 meters).

This technology can effectively reduce 82% of cases with the condition of the driver survived the accident and prevent tens of thousands of cases of vehicle collisions that occur each year.

This pilot project will be held in six cities in the United States such as: Blacksburg (Virginia), Brooklyn (Michigan), Minneapolis (Minnesota), Orlando (Florida) and San
Francisco (California).

The results of this experiment will culminate in a report or recommendation submitted to the traffic safety agency U.S. highway, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in 2013.

Stereo camera is also not just detect pedestrians, but also can estimate how far the distance and height of objects. Single camera to detect the presence of someone, but could not detect thedistance and height accurately.
