Hoverbike
A hoverbike (or hovercycle) is a vehicle that can hover, resembling a flying motorbike, having at least two propulsive portions—one in front of and one behind the driver. Aeronautic motors Starting in 2014, Malloy Aeronautics has been developing a hoverbike that has experimented with quadcopter-like lift. In 2015, the company announced collaboration with the United States Defense Department at the Paris Airshow. In April 2016, British inventor Colin Furze announced he had created a hoverbike using two paramotors. The Aero-X is a hoverbike designed to carry up to two people. The Hoversurf Scorpion 3 is a hoverbike launched in 2017. It is famously used by the Dubai Police Force. The A.L.I. Technologies XTurismo was on sale in Japan from 2021, and in the United States the following year. It requires a pilot's licence in most countries, but not in Japan. It is considered a proof of concept with 200 to be made, with a smaller version planned for 2025, at a much lower pric ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Malloy Hoverbike
The Malloy Hoverbike is a single-seater turbo-fan powered, vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) quadrocopter developed in 2006 by New Zealand inventor Chris Malloy. The Hoverbike has two forward and two aft-mounted vertical propellers each enclosed in a hoop nacelle. The nacelles feature steerable blades beneath which control the direction of flight. Each propeller pair has partial overlap and when not in use they can be folded over each other to further reduce the parking footprint and make packing and transportation easier. With the production of the Malloy Hoverbike, Chris Malloy set up his aeronautical firm Malloy Aeronautics, based at White Waltham airfield, South-West of London, United Kingdom. The company was responsible for the commercial development and production of the hoverbike. The hoverbike participated in the 2015 Paris Airshow. Hoverbike is constructed from carbon fibre composite and aluminium and is powered by a petrol engine. It can be piloted with minimum traini ...

Speeder Bikes
Speeder bikes (also known as "jumpspeeders" or "hover bikes") and swoop bikes (or just "swoops") are small, fast transports that use repulsorlift engines in the fictional ''Star Wars'' universe. ''Return of the Jedi'' includes a prominent speeder bike chase; speeders and swoops also appear in ''Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace'', '' Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones'', '' Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith'', '' Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope'' (added in the 1997 Special Edition, but absent on every earlier print), the animated TV series ''Star Wars: The Clone Wars'' and ''Star Wars Rebels'', and the ''Star Wars'' expanded universe's books, comics, and games. In real life a one-person, or an unmanned cargo, flying vehicle with four jet motors at the corners using artificial intelligence to maintain stability that has been described as a "flying motorbike" and named "Speeder" was under development in 2022, an idea that emerged from work with t ...

Hoverboard
A hoverboard (or hover board) is a levitating board used for personal transportation, first described in science-fiction, and made famous by the appearance of a skateboard-like hoverboard in the film '' Back to the Future Part II''. Many attempts have been made to invent a functioning hoverboard. In fiction Hoverboards were first described by author M. K. Joseph in a 1967 science fiction novel. In 1984, a hoverboard appeared in the shoot 'em up arcade video game ''SWAT'', developed by Coreland and distributed by Sega in Japan and Bally Midway in North America. The hoverboard was popularized by the '' Back to the Future'' film franchise, with its appearance in '' Back to the Future Part II'' (1989). During the 1990s there were rumors, fueled by the film's director Robert Zemeckis, that hoverboards were in fact real, but not marketed because they were deemed too dangerous by parents' groups. These rumors have been conclusively debunked. Hoverboards have appeared in various o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Dubai Police Force
The Dubai Police Force ( ar, القيادة العامة لشرطة دبي) is the 17,500 strong police force for the Emirate of Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates. They come under the jurisdiction of the ruler of Dubai, and they cover an area of 4,114 square kilometres and a population of 2.8 million people. History The Dubai Police Force was founded on 1 June 1956 in Naif (a locality in the Deira side of Dubai, with the first police station being known as 'Naif Fort'Dubai Police ForcWebsiteretrieved on March 10, 2007) with only 29 members. The size of the force increased gradually, to 105 in 1960 and to 430 by 1967. In 1973, the force moved its headquarters to their current location of Al-Twar, on Al-Etihad Street in Dubai. At present, a further move is being planned to a newly constructed headquarters, again in Deira. The Dubai Police Force strives to be 'most progressive' of all Arabic police forces and aims for high education standards amongst its personnel. The force was th ...

Levitation (physics)
Levitation (from Latin ', ) is the process by which an object is held aloft in a stable position, without mechanical support via any physical contact. Levitation is accomplished by providing an upward force that counteracts the pull of gravity (in relation to gravity on earth), plus a smaller stabilizing force that pushes the object toward a home position whenever it is a small distance away from that home position. The force can be a fundamental force such as magnetic or electrostatic, or it can be a reactive force such as optical, buoyant, aerodynamic, or hydrodynamic. Levitation excludes floating at the surface of a liquid because the liquid provides direct mechanical support. Levitation excludes hovering flight by insects, hummingbirds, helicopters, rockets, and balloons because the object provides its own counter-gravity force. Physics Levitation (on Earth or any planetoid) requires an upward force that cancels out the weight of the object, so that the object does not fall ...

Hovercar
A hover car is a personal vehicle that flies at a constant altitude of up to few meters (some feet) above the ground and used for personal transportation in the same way a modern automobile is employed. The concept usually appears in science fiction. In science fiction, it is capable of elevating itself some distance from the ground through some repulsion technology, presumably exploiting some short range anti-gravity principle so as to eliminate most friction forces which act against conventional vehicles. Other works feature vehicles that hover by having magnetic plates lined along roads, operating in a similar principle to Maglev. The capability of hovering above the ground eliminates the need for tires, and unlike an air-cushion vehicle, it does not produce a dust cloud. The closest devices are the hovercraft, which elevates itself above a water or level hard surface using a cushion of air retained by a flexible skirt, and the hovertrain, which is a type of high-speed trai ...

Anti-gravity
Anti-gravity (also known as non-gravitational field) is a hypothetical phenomenon of creating a place or object that is free from the force of gravity. It does not refer to the lack of weight under gravity experienced in free fall or orbit, or to balancing the force of gravity with some other force, such as electromagnetism or aerodynamic lift. Anti-gravity is a recurring concept in science fiction. Examples are the gravity blocking substance "Cavorite" in H. G. Wells's '' The First Men in the Moon'' and the Spindizzy machines in James Blish's '' Cities in Flight''. "Anti-gravity" is often used to refer to devices that look as if they reverse gravity even though they operate through other means, such as lifters, which fly in the air by moving air with electromagnetic fields. Historical attempts at understanding gravity The possibility of creating anti-gravity depends upon a complete understanding and description of gravity and its interactions with other physical theories, ...

Universe
The universe is all of space and time and their contents, including planets, stars, galaxies, and all other forms of matter and energy. The Big Bang theory is the prevailing cosmological description of the development of the universe. According to this theory, space and time emerged together ago, and the universe has been expanding ever since the Big Bang. While the spatial size of the entire universe is unknown, it is possible to measure the size of the observable universe, which is approximately 93 billion light-years in diameter at the present day. Some of the earliest cosmological models of the universe were developed by ancient Greek and Indian philosophers and were geocentric, placing Earth at the center. Over the centuries, more precise astronomical observations led Nicolaus Copernicus to develop the heliocentric model with the Sun at the center of the Solar System. In developing the law of universal gravitation, Isaac Newton built upon Copernicus's work as ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
