Electric Motorcycle Rockets at 250 mph With Zero Emissions Source: White Motorcycle Concepts UK's  White Motorcycle Concepts White Motorcycle Concepts, based in the United Kingdom, believe they have created the world's most aerodynamic motorcycle design in their WMC250EV.  The key is a large air duct running through the center of the bike.  The duct is called "V-Air".  It forces air through the middle of the electric bike, not around it as is normal in motorcycles.  The result is that drag on the bike is reduced by 70%.  The company thinks that the e-bike will be able to hit speeds over 250 mph.  The vehicle provides both tremendous speed and zero-emissions travel. Creative Design & Highly Advanced Technology Because much of the center of the bike is a huge air duct hole, White Motorcycle Concepts have been very creative with the design of the bike.  They've placed the quad-motor powertrain and 15 kw lithium ion batteries at the bottom of the ...

100 Billion Frames Per Second Captures Light Travelling from Point to Point A researcher at Washington University in St. Louis has invented a camera that captures 2 dimensional images at 100 billion frames per second.  That speed is capable of shooting phenomena that previously were too fast to be observed such as light pulses and laser beams as they travel from one point to another. World's Fastest 2 D Camera The new camera was invented by Professor of Biomedical Engineering Lihong Wang of Washington University.  His research was supported by the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering.  Wang's camera is the world's fastest 2 D camera that doesn't require an external flash or multiple exposures.  It's a great way for imaging of ultra fast phenomena like a laser flash or biochemical reactions. Teaming the Camera with a Microscope for More Scientific Discoveries Wang is now working to pair the camera with a microscope to capture previo...
