Thinking Putty is to draw the magnetic magnets

I think it's called false advertising on this Thinking Putty Magnetic. Although it is magnetic, and we have some pictures of this thing, after a magnet. But he does not think: “Hey, a magnet, I think, would follow me.” No, it's physics, which is derived, not psychology.

I have a video of him in the bottom with a magnet that was attached to it. Watch it after the jump, and try not to think of any bad Terminator 2.

I think you could call this magnetic Silly Putty, and I think this is probably the best description, without the word “thinking”. It kind of reminds me of the balls magnetic nanodots we reported earlier.

If it's like Silly Putty, I hope it's not as if you play with Silly Putty. If I remember Silly Putty loses its pink sucks over time, the dirt that you and pressed against a fabric gooky that nobody wants. In other words, it is “seriously Putty.

Thinking Putty looks like it would be easy magnetic magnetic Dumb Putty become. I wonder whether it still holds its magnetic charge, after they reached the stage of the old.

Zeroracer powered electric vehicle began, new ways

All that is to zero-race wonder, do you? Well, this is a unique event to see the competitors try to make a mark in the world, is at 80 days, without an iota of the show – we are talking about zero emissions and can be reached only through the use of race electric vehicles. In this unique case, would be one of the most striking entries Zerotracer. It was speically by a group of engineers from Winterthur, Switzerland, where this delicious looking electric motorcycle is designed in a position approximately two to seven passengers in a shell made of Kevlar. To speed their job, you never expect to trot around, right? Therefore, the ability to hit a top speed of 250 km / h (155 mph), while achieving a maximum range of 350 km (217 miles) on one battery charge.

This vehicle is built based on a body MonoTracer, although the original four-cylinder engine BMW K-engine was removed and replaced by an electric motor with battery, capable of powered drive for the 135 kW/183Hp charge Zerotracer 0-100 km / h in 4.5 seconds, a figure that will not be taken lightly. If there are no passengers on this issue, the advice of the vehicle with the scales at 80kg (176 lbs) and 18 kWh, 400 V battery can be fully charged within a few hours, while the fast charge is capable of holding up the battery juice 80 percent in less than 30 minutes.

As a driver and passenger are enclosed vehicle safely Kevlar outer shell, are not in a position to use their legs to stand upright, if the Zerotracer not moved. So how do we do? Now, a pair of retractable wheels to help stabilize the Zeroracer stopped. To move, he said, driving wheels Projection in the direction of the cabin, but they go into action as a “knee” of all kinds function, true to cross the road at high speed cornering stability. Can not wait for something to reach for the mass market.
