China’s new hyperloop train completes first test runs successfully

The train will be the world’s fastest ground-based transport technology if the project goes as planned.

An ultra-fast hyperloop train in China has completed its first test runs, according to a report by the South China Morning Post.

The world’s fastest ground-based transport technology.


Zhejiang Geely Holding Group.

These consisted of three test runs at a superconducting maglev test line in Datong, Shanxi province. The goal of the train is to eventually carry passengers and cargo at a speed of 621 miles/h (1,000 km per hour) or faster in a near-vacuum tube.

Ford Mustang Mach-E

The Ford Mustang Mach-E is being transformed into an electric hearse courtesy of Coleman Milne, giving you a silent way to go to the great beyond. But not wanting to leave out the living, the specialty vehicle manufacturer has also revealed plans for a Mustang Mach-E limousine.

This is not the first time Coleman Milne has dabbled in electric hearses, previously turning a Tesla Model S into a chariot of the dearly departed called the Whisper hearse, but the company claims it will be doing more of this sort of thing heading into 2023, with the Mach-E also forming the foundation of an electric limousine — another concept we’re no strangers to but will have to get used to in coming years.

The Insane Engineering behind the Joby S4

Joby makes EVTOL vehicles intended for small trips like Austin to Houston. A year ago they were the first EVTOL company to complete a 150 mile all electric flight. Check out this video to see the engineering innvolved.

In July of 2021, this aircraft achieved what many thought impossible with today’s battery technology. It completed the longest, all-electric, vertical takeoff and landing flight. The Joby S4 is the result of more than 13 years of engineering and innovation. Joby Aviation’s ambitious goal is to make affordable air travel between places like Houston and Austin, or Los Angeles and San Diego an everyday reality.
However, to be allowed to operate in urban areas, Joby had to develop an aircraft that is quieter than helicopters, as safe as commercial airliners, and cost-effective for mass adoption. More than 250 evtol companies worldwide are working to make Urban Air Mobility a reality, and Joby Aviation is the indisputable leader. In this video, I will explore the three key design elements that make the S4 technically impressive and unique. This is the engineering behind the Joby S4.

Wealthy Hun Warrior’s Tomb Uncovered During Highway Construction in Romania

As workers were constructing a highway in Romania, a Hun warrior’s treasure-filled tomb was unearthed. According to Live Science, the tomb dates all the way to the fifth century AD, when the region was proliferated by the Huns.

Prince-Like Tomb of a Hun Warrior

According to MSN, the tomb has over a hundred artifacts within it. This includes objects covered in gold, weapons, and gemstone-filled jewelry.

Research paves way for wireless charging of electric vehicles

Imagine you’re driving your Tesla, or an equivalent electric car, down the highway. Your battery is running low. Sure, you could pull off at the next exit and spend time, and energy, searching for a recharging station. Or you could simply change lanes and drive over special charging strips embedded in the road.

That’s the vision of Khurram Afridi, associate professor of electrical and computer engineering in the College of Engineering. He’s pioneering an innovative approach for the wireless charging of electric vehicles, autonomous forklifts and other mobile machines, while they remain in motion.


Cornell researchers are pioneering an innovative approach for the wireless charging of electric vehicles and other machines while they remain in motion.

How the Radical, Fuel-Efficient ‘Flying V’ Airplane Could Replace Jumbo Jets

I remember when this was a guitar.

The Flying-V, an experimental aircraft that promises significantly greater fuel efficiency over more conventional commercial jet designs, is moving towards a larger, more detailed version since the scaled, 10-foot model took flight in 2020 in Germany.


The 315-passenger jet flies like other commercial airliners its size, according to recent tests, but is 20 percent more fuel efficient. Plus, it just looks a lot cooler.

This US state wants to phase out EVs instead of ICEs by 2035

The state introduced the resolution as a tribute to its oil and gas industry.

A U.S. state has decided to swim against the tide with its proposal to phase out all-electric vehicles from the state by 2035. You heard it right. Wyoming’s legislature is debating a resolution introduced on January 13, intended to pay tribute to its oil and gas industry which has created countless jobs and revenues over the decades.

In 2021, the state had produced 85.43 million barrels of crude oil, making it the eighth largest producer of oil among states in the U.S. Wyoming has a total population of just 577,000 people.

The resolution — Senate Joint Resolution 4 (SJ4), urges its residents to voluntarily limit their purchases and businesses to stop their sale of EVs, measures which aimed at phasing them out entirely by 2035. Through this symbolic act, lawmakers in Wyoming led by Senator Jim Anderson aim to send a message to EV supporters and people who campaign against ICE engine vehicles.
