T2o by Antoine Fritsch | GBlog
The ‘T20 by french designer antoine fritsch is is a beautiful two wheeled vehicle, a fusion between a bicycle and a electric kick scooter. The small motor hidden under the footrest allows the t20 to reach a cruising speed of 35 km/hr (21.7 mph) for a range of about 40 km (24.8 miles).The Faraday Utility Bike by IDEO Design Team | GBlog
Hoping to answer the non-profit organization Oregon Manifest’s mission to show that bikes can make the world a better place, a team of designers called IDEO worked together to create Faraday, a high quality electronic bike that’s seamlessly classic with a modern twist. This masterpiece was created in the non-profit’s biennial national competition that challenged top bike builders to make the ultimate utility bicycle.
Yves Behar, from San Francisco based company Fuseproject , was working towards developing the ‘perfect mode of transportation’ to aid in everyday tasks and came up with the ‘local’ bike design after participating in the Oregon Manifest constructor’s design bike challenge. The ‘local’ is like the practical pick-up truck in the form of a bike.

The Fischer-Tropsch (FT) Process - a knol by Jean Scherb
For an overview of the technologies related to coal, i advise you to start with this knol: clean coal technologies.In cooperation with the biomass CHP in Guessing the first biomass-based Fischer-Tropsch trial plant in Austria was realized in Guessing by Vienna University of Technology (TUV) in the frame of the EC-project Renew and several national projects. A new laboratory scale Fischer-Tropsch-Reactor (slurry reactor) in a side stream of the existing allothermal fluidised bed gasifier at BKG was designed and installed. The new FT-synthesis plant operates in commercial environment and under permanent operation conditions.
