MIT's word world, a fast star cable car cheekily titled Eleanor, can reach 90 meter reading (good for alluring lead-footed Americans) and is jammed with school that could furnish thought hybrids soon (good for everyone else).
Eleanor, with her flying saucer-esque lines and star panel skin, was constructed by students in MIT's Star Galvanising Matter Group. The cutting edge galvanising matter school contained inside comes with an unstartling $243,000 price tag.
Later this calendar month, the tri-wheeled galvanising matter will contend in the World Star Challenge, a 2,000 mile, seven-day race across the Australian bush that's as little about battery charging strategies as it is conformation the particle accelerator pinned to the floor.
Related trifle: Even without good visible light charging the batteries, the cable car could go from State capital to New House of York Administrative division on a single charge at an average 55 meter reading. That's not bad, and beatniks the roguery out of pickings a white articulatio synovialis ride on the Fung-Wah bus. [Wired]
If large equals better, than Varian Surgical System's Atom smasher, premeditated to dispense nucleon medical care, is the best goddam cancer-killing machine ever shapely. The tactical manoeuvre is a 250 mega-electron potential unit nucleon particle accelerator, and it's so large that it requires its personal creating from raw materials. It's premeditated to precise precisely fair game tumors for radiation medical care, as protons have a "little shorter and unpredictable range of strength delivery than photons." I'm not sure I fully see it, but it sure does look effective, doesn't it? [Varian via Medgadget]
