Imagine an engine that's 30 percent smaller than a traditional piston design of like output, and that runs smoothly, with less noise and vibration.

Plus, it burns several types of fuel. NASA confirms that the ‘impossible’ EmDrive thruster really works, after new tests. 'Spring-mass' technology heralds the future of walking robots. New centimeter-accurate GPS system could transform virtual reality and mobile devices. Researchers in the Cockrell School of Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin have developed a centimeter-accurate GPS-based positioning system that could revolutionize geolocation on virtual reality headsets, cellphones and other technologies, making global positioning and orientation far more precise than what is currently available on a mobile device.

The researchers' new system could allow unmanned aerial vehicles to deliver packages to a specific spot on a consumer's back porch, enable collision avoidance technologies on cars and allow virtual reality (VR) headsets to be used outdoors. Australia researchers create 'world first' 3D-printed jet engines. Australian researchers said Thursday they have created two jet engines using 3D printing in what is described as a world-first that has attracted the interest of major manufacturers and engineering firms.

The machines -- produced using the template of a gas turbine engine from French aircraft engine maker Safran, which supplies Airbus and Boeing -- demonstrated the potential 3D printing had to produce high-quality products, researchers from Melbourne's Monash University said. "The significance... is the recognition by major manufacturers and engineering companies like Safran and Airbus that the material you can print using 3D metal printing is of aircraft quality and I think that's hugely significant," the university's Ian Smith told AFP. AVIATION SHOCKS. Nitrogen charged air shock assembly.

AVIATION SHOCKS

The standard 1.50 shock package is perfect for a typical 250 lbs empty weight ultralight, powered parachute, and gyros. If you have an aircraft exceeding 400 lbs, it's best to go with the extreme shock package which includes the larger 2.00 shocks. Call for more details if you're unsure which option works best for you. Light weight but not light on performance.

Our custom valved air shocks are designed for aircraft looking for the harshest landing zones and highest margin of safety. Japanese Firm Plans Space Elevator to Run by 2050. Japanese construction company Obayashi has announced that it plans to build a space elevator by the year 2050, as reported by Australia's ABC news.

If built, the elevator would revolutionize space travel, reducing the cost of putting materials into space exponentially. The company pointed towards the increases in carbon nanotube technology, which is slowly making this dream a reality. One researcher, Yoji Ishikawa, says about the nanotubes that "The tensile strength is almost a hundred times stronger than steel cable so it's possible. Right now we can't make the cable long enough. A new way to make laser-like beams using 1,000 times less power. Accelerator on a chip: Technology could spawn new generations of smaller, less expensive devices for science, medicine. In an advance that could dramatically shrink particle accelerators for science and medicine, researchers used a laser to accelerate electrons at a rate 10 times higher than conventional technology in a nanostructured glass chip smaller than a grain of rice.
