Made in Germany | Using Honeycomb Technology to Build a Super-Yacht


A new high-tech yacht called 'The Container' is expected to make quite a splash at the "Boot 2009" - the Düsseldorf International Boat Show which takes place from January 17th to 25th. 'The Container' is the latest yacht from industry trend-setter Schütz, which is in fact not a classic yacht-building firm but specializes in the development and production of construction components. The company's venture into the area of yacht production has proved a huge success: In fact, it was a vessel from Schütz which won the 1993 Admiral Cup. Ultimately, it is the focus on material which makes Schütz special - the firm creates lightweight construction material - including the honeycombs that can be found in the Airbus A380. So, despite its 20 meter length, 'The Container' manages to be relatively light. The materials were developed by engineer Peter Kress. DW reporter Holger Trzeczak met Kress at his office in western Germany where the pair visited the Schütz production lines and boarded 'The Container'.

Wind Explorer - Kiting


www.wind-explorer.com "The Wind Explorer is a vehicle that seems to come from the future. But it is already reality," said Gion. The special feature of the Wind Explorer is that it is an electric vehicle with its own mobile power supply. When the battery is empty, the pilots can recharge them via a portable wind turbine, if wind conditions allow, or via the conventional power network. It takes half an hour to erect the turbine and six-meter high telescopic mast made of bamboo. In addition to wind power, the Wind Explorer can be driven by kites. In this way, the lightweight vehicle reached speeds of around 80 kph as it crossed the states of Western Australia, South Australia, Victoria and New South Wales. The pilots left Perth on January 21, 2011. Having carried out various tests during the first 500 km, the real trip started in Albany on January 26, 2011. For the first 800km to Nullarbor Plain the Wind Explorer was driven entirely by electric power. Strong winds then enabled the pilots to use the kites. Finally, on January 31, 2011, the Wind Explorer achieved its best daily performance, covering 493 km. "It's great to see how lightweight construction and lithium-ion technology can provide a response to the problem of global warming," said Simmerer.

2013 Audi A6 allroad


The new Audi A6 allroad -- the Avant for any kind of road The first two generations of the allroad quattro from the years 2000 and 2006 were winners, and Audi hopes to build on this success with the third generation. Universally talented, the new A6 allroad quattro extends the range of uses for the A6 Avant because when the asphalt ends, it just keeps on driving. Performance has improved and fuel consumption has been reduced by as much as 20 percent compared with the previous model. Body and exterior design The new A6 allroad quattro is 4.94 meters (16.21 ft) long, 1.90 meters (6.23 ft) wide and 1.47 (4.82 ft) meters tall, making it a few millimeters bigger than the Avant. It follows the Audi ultra lightweight construction principle familiar from the sedan, with aluminum components making up roughly 20 percent of its body. The Audi A6 allroad quattro has a sportily distinctive road stance. It features balanced proportions, sharp lines delineate taut surfaces and the roof line flows into flat D-pillars. Audi offers progressive LED technology as an option for the headlights and tail lights. The xenon plus headlights can be combined with adaptive light, which ensures that the road is always properly illuminated for the situation at hand. The body of the new A6 allroad quattro sits six centimeters (2.36 in) higher than that of the A6 Avant. Setting it apart are, in particular, the trim strips on the side sills, the more widely flared fenders and the single-frame grille with <b>...</b>

The Audi bird is a perfect metaphor for the new Audi A6 Avant's ultra-lightweight construction, offering drivers a more agile and efficient performance. Flying nimbly through a surreal landscape populated with trees, flowers and fauna made from petrol pumps, road signs and traffic cones, the metal-framed bird boasts design elements that echo the A6 Avant -- right down to its breast, which replicates the distinctive Audi grille. The hummingbird mischievously glides through its world to the strains of Johann Strauss's Open Road, Open Sky sung by legendary American baritone and automobile lover John Charles Thomas. The animated film is directed by Oscar-nominated Daniel Barber.

Wind Explorer - wind turbine


www.wind-explorer.com "The Wind Explorer is a vehicle that seems to come from the future. But it is already reality," said Gion. The special feature of the Wind Explorer is that it is an electric vehicle with its own mobile power supply. When the battery is empty, the pilots can recharge them via a portable wind turbine, if wind conditions allow, or via the conventional power network. It takes half an hour to erect the turbine and six-meter high telescopic mast made of bamboo. In addition to wind power, the Wind Explorer can be driven by kites. In this way, the lightweight vehicle reached speeds of around 80 kph as it crossed the states of Western Australia, South Australia, Victoria and New South Wales. The pilots left Perth on January 21, 2011. Having carried out various tests during the first 500 km, the real trip started in Albany on January 26, 2011. For the first 800km to Nullarbor Plain the Wind Explorer was driven entirely by electric power. Strong winds then enabled the pilots to use the kites. Finally, on January 31, 2011, the Wind Explorer achieved its best daily performance, covering 493 km. "It's great to see how lightweight construction and lithium-ion technology can provide a response to the problem of global warming," said Simmerer.

watercube national swimming centre beijing 2008


The so-called WATERCUBE associates water as a structural and thematic "leitmotiv" with the square, the primal shape of the house in the Chinese tradition and mythology. The entire structure of the Watercube is based on a unique lightweight-construction derived from the structure of water in the state of aggregation of FOAM. Conceptually the square box and the interior space are carved out of an undefined cluster of foam bubbles, symbolizing a condition of nature that is transformed into a condition of culture. The appearance of the aquatic centre is therefore a "cube of water molecules"-the WATERCUBE. text: Chris Bosse www.chrisbosse.com

2013 Mercedes SL Aluminium Bodyshell Trailer


Aluminium bodyshell in the new Mercedes-Benz SL: Under the bottom line: 140 kilos lighter ■The bodyshell is 89 percent aluminium ■Different alloys, sophisticated sections, tailor-made cast elements ■Load-adequate joining processes ■Top-level corrosion protection Cars are becoming increasingly safer, more comfortable, but often heavier as well. The new Mercedes-Benz SL not only stops this trend, it turns it around. In spite of increased comfort, performance and safety, it is 140 kilos lighter than its predecessor. The greater part of the weight-reduction "diet" is hidden from the eyes of the observer of the SL. Under the aluminium outer skin there is a bodyshell made almost entirely from aluminium, only very few components being made from other materials. The even lighter magnesium is used in part for the rear panel. The A-pillars and the roof frame are of steel sheet metal incorporating high-strength steel tubing. For these elements steel is the best solution to provide survival space for occupants in the event of the vehicle overturning. Everything else is made of aluminium. The bodyshell of the SL is the first all-aluminium bodyshell to be produced in large series at Mercedes-Benz. This entirely new development weighs 254 kilos and is thus 110 kilos lighter than a comparable steel bodyshell. Further extensive lightweight design features compensate the additional weight unavoidably caused by the increased comfort, the new assistance systems and other technical <b>...</b>

Robotic smart bird flies like real gull


A German company has developed a gull which can fly like real gulls. Smart Bird, which uses a compact 135 brushless motor, can start, fly and land autonomously. An articulated torsion drive unit allows the bird to beat its wings up and down as well twist at specific angles. Company Fesco built robotic gull from carbon fiber and polyurethane foam, the ultra light Smart Bird weighs 485 grams, operates at 23 watts and can be controlled from the ground using a radio controller. The German company said that the bird's functional integration of coupled drive units could potentially be transferred to the development and optimization of a range of hybrid drive technology - from generators that derive energy from water to new actuators in process automation. The minimal use of materials and the bird's lightweight construction also pave the way for efficiency in resource and energy consumption, says Festo.

Easton has used a lightweight, durable, and breathable sublimated polyester shell. Easton has also used some solid foams and plastic inserts to offer an advanced level of protection.

Easton has also give the S19 glove an adjustable cuff that allows the player to determine how far the cuff extends up the wrist. When the cuff is recessed all the way the into the glove the cuff only raises 1/2" above the cuff roll. Extended all the way out the cuff can raise 2" above the cuff roll. This is a great feature because it allows the player to customize the cuff to fit your style of play and preference. The S19 also features a Flex Thumb, which is one of the easier moving thumbs designs on the market.
