Lamborghini Madura by Slavche Tanevski & Yanko Design One Sharp Black Lambo From the darkest depths of the design mind of the one called Slavche Tanevski comes THIS! The Lamborghini *Ankonian. It’s black. It’s sharp. And I don’t mean flashy in any kind of bad way. It’s not quite “green,” but it’s does have that sort of environmental friendliness in mind with it’s downsisedness. + Does this car look familiar to anyone? *NOTE from Chris Burns: originally I’d had this car marked “Madura”, when in fact it is called the Ankonian. Designer: Slavche Tanevski
AC Automotive Beautiful Lamborghini X Concept 3D render concept car btw, NOT PHOTOS (for those who think this is an actual car). On regards to the design, there are some really nice solutions. The edgy lines are cool, but not within the Lamborghini style, which, even though it always has a tendency for straight lines and sharp angles, doesn’t go all the way to sharp edges and paper thin panels. Borders are gentle and soft, precisely to take away a bit from the hard angles and straight lines. I’ve always felt Lamborghini has some really cool looking vehicles, but sometimes they almost look not entirely aerodynamic because of the hard angles. In general, this concept looks kinda frail, almost like a paper car. If I where a design exec at Lamborghini I would probably take it and find it’s good points to rescue and request modifications to some stuff, but then again, I’m not.
MINI.fr - Page d’accueil How to Fix Car Air Conditioning Video - 5min.com Dave: Todays lesson automotive air conditioning. Let's choose this Subaru was a prime example of how stuff works. And it's so hot today, it's 31 degree Celsius I could use some air conditioning well it all starts with the compressor that thing right there. Now somewhere on the low side tubing that is on your air conditioning system is using a switch. It have the high side pipe, which goes out to the condenser coil which is another radiator in front of your, you know your engine cooling radiator using some more on the other side there is a tube coming out and it goes to the dashboard, where there is another radiator called the evaporator, also coming from the dashboard not at the firewall is that large pipe I just showed you which is the low pressure pipe, where the compressor sucks the gas back in again to be recompressed and come out of the high pressure pipe. Older cars, over the 1992 use to run off or twelve Freon gas. So do it that way, it will always work.
Vauxhall Motors UK | New & Used Cars, Vans & Commercial Vehicles iPhone: Forcing a UIView to reorientate In my current iPhone application I need to force a UIView to reorientate when a certain event happens. The SDK doesn't really allow for this to happen. There's the well-known UIViewController method - (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation that is called whenever the user rotates the iPhone. If you say YES to that orientation then the OS does the spade work of rotating the display and your views for you. However, you cannot manually ask to rotate the screen, so if you decide that your shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation: peccadillo has changed, there's no way to tell the OS. The blind alley There are a number of blog posts, discussions, and Stack Overflow posts that suggest you use the private setOrientation: method of the UIDevice class. It's a private API. This seems the canonical version of that method: It serves to rotate the status bar, but leaves your UIView where it is. How to make it work It's a bit unpleasant, but it works.

Investigating the Dreaded 'Check Engine' Alert Few automobile problems are more vexing than the “check engine” light. When the light comes on, it may mean you simply didn’t tighten your gas cap enough after filling up — or it could mean there’s major trouble brewing in your catalytic converter. George Ruhe for The New York Times CarMD.com, a seller of do-it-yourself tools to help you diagnose problems with your car, has compiled a list of the most common reasons the “check engine” light comes on, based on its database of engine repair information, which is compiled by automotive technicians. (They receive a fee in exchange for contributing data.) Here’s the list: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Generally, if the “check engine” light comes on you can safely drive the car until you are able to stop and check the gas cap or take it in for servicing. If you’re a do-it-yourself type, CarMD sells handheld diagnostic devices ($119 plus shipping, online) that plug into a standard data port, found in all cars 1996 and newer.

Student Brain Power Turns Exercise Into Electricity Courtesy Drexel University Office of Student Life and Administrative Services If only all the speed and strength of youth could be channeled into power. Turns out, it can. One of those schools is Drexel University in Philadelphia, where student power runs straight into their buildings' power grids. A company called ReRev has retrofitted cardio elliptical machines in a portion of the university's gym to generate electricity for that area. Simmons says the students presented the idea to the athletic department when the facility was under construction. "Drexel is a very entrepreneurial university, and we're open to the students' ideas," he says. But is it just a gimmick? "There's definitely a part of this that's for awareness — to bring the awareness factor to people of what's possible," he says. The operation isn't saving the university money at this point, Simmons says.
