In 2017, Japan created a pioneering national hydrogen strategy, envisaging a carbon-neutral “hydrogen society.” But a Renewable Energy Institute report slams the policy as catastrophically misguided, with 70% of its 10-year budget “spent on bad ideas.”… Continue reading Report: Japan’s “hydrogen society” policy is a “complete failure”
Carrying up to 96 small USPS packages in its internal cargo bay, the new Cento needs nothing more than two parking spaces for takeoff, landing and automatic unloading. Bay Area company MightyFly is working with the FAA to expand its long-range flight a… Continue reading MightyFly’s new autonomous cargo drone carries 100 lb for 600 miles
Atlanta company Hermeus has its sights set on Mach 4 next year, to beat the Mach 3.3 benchmark set by the SR-71 Blackbird way back in 1976. Watch its Chimera hybrid engine nailing the switch between low-speed turbojet mode and hypersonic ramjet mode.Co… Continue reading Turbojet to hypersonic ramjet: Hybrid Chimera engine shows its range
Britain’s Arc Aero Systems, formerly Samad Aerospace, has put forth its vision for a “cost-effective, low-carbon solution to intercity travel.” The hybrid Linx P9 promises to beat comparably sized helicopters on range, speed and operating cost.Continue… Continue reading Arc announces hybrid slowed-rotor aircraft with 800-mile range
They may be a little brutal on the eye, but Capable says its visually confusing and extremely pricey cotton knits are designed to throw off AI facial recognition systems, by fooling machine learning systems into thinking you’re an animal and not a huma… Continue reading Flamboyant Italian clothes defeat facial recognition without masks
The world’s largest rail vehicle manufacturer has rolled out a zero-emissions train running on hydrogen fuel cells with a supercapacitor buffer. The four-car train is capable of 100 mph (160 km/h), making it the fastest hydrogen train to date.Continue … Continue reading China launches 100-mph hydrogen/supercapacitor train
