NASA'S Mars 'BATMOBILE' : Electric vehicle has six wheels and is made entirely of carbon fibre and aluminium

The radical concept is unveiled by NASA on the on the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, and would be the inspiration for future rovers for the first manned missions to the red planet.

The full sized Nasa Mars rover has been in development since the end of 2016 and it looks a lot like the Batmobile.

The angular concept vehicle has six wheels consists entirely of carbon fiber and aluminum and is solar energy.

It was designed for four astronauts and has its own detachable laboratory.

While this exact rover is not expected to be working on Mars, one or more of the elements can make its way to a rover astronauts will ride on the red planet. ' NASA says.

The builders of the scientific-themed Mars rover concept vehicle, Parker Brothers concepts of Port Canaveral, Florida, NASA's input in its design subject matter experts.

The rover works on an electric motor, powered by solar panels and a 700-volt battery.

The rover separates in the middle with the front section designed for scouting and equipped with a radio and navigation provided by the Global Positioning System.

The back section acts as a laboratory for autonomous research can be unplugged.

After several weeks on display at Kennedy's visitor complex, the Mars rover concept vehicle appear on different locations.

NASA'S BATMOBILE

• Measures 28 feet (8.5m) long, 13 feet (4m) wide, and 11 feet (3.4m) tall
• Estimated weight of 5,000 pounds (2,250kg)
• Rear area is a detachable lab, while the front area is a cockpit for scouting
• Made entirely of carbon fibre and aluminium
• Six wheels that measure 50 inches (1.3m) tall, 30 inches (75cm) wide
• Battery powered using solar panels
• Top speed of 60-70 miles per hour (95-110kph)

From July to August, it appears in different locations during a tour along the East Coast.

The Mars rover concept car then returns to the visitor complex as part of the new attraction of the
Astronaut training experience opening in the fall of this year.

According to Rebecca Shireman, assistant manager of public relations for the complex, Kennedy-visitor offers the ' summer of Mars' programme an overview of NASA'sstudies of the red planet.

Honda Civic Type R‬‬ – The fastest and most powerful Civic ever made

They want more-rounds, even brutal hours, some argue for full day – with the new Honda Civic Type R, Honda sticks to her word, but rules here on the day of the debut song Type R for some commentators, two laps. None the less. Do not anymore.

On the company's pure, five kilometres outside of work test facilities for their research and development Pelt everyone from the driver's seat with reluctance, the views and wishes of, usually, a little shaky in their steps.

So what can you learn in two laps around Japan-spec, right drive, six-speed manual Type R?

No one got much past third gear to realize the car "is on the track," like a product Planner. This is a total bad boy with something to prove.

306 HP packaged in four-cylinder engines a 2.0-liter, turbocharged, 295 pound-feet of torque and a short-throw, six-speed manual transmission, addictive fun.

In the mode of comfort there is satisfactory and it does spin sticky at the corners, if a little hungry for more. Switch to sport mode, though, and it's clear that it's a little hatchback hunger for the song.

Based on the Civic hatch but built with updated body and chassis, the Type-R is the fastest and most powerful Civic ever made. 

Preproduction models caused a record front-wheel-drive on the famous Nurburgring in Germany in early April, the 305-HP Volkswagen GTI Club sport marked by six seconds.

In a press release at that time, Honda explained that cornering speed and stability results from wider tracks, and a new Multilink suspension optimized.

On the way to dealers now Canada is also the first Honda Type R badge with Canada. Honda plans to issue only three or four for each vehicle dealer Canada, making this exclusive takeover civil variant.

Prices have not been released, but the expected from the Type-R top $40.000 must be encrypted.

Only one trim level sold in Canada, full version with seven-inch touch screen, integrated closed Honda navigation, Apple and Android car CarPlay compatibility and blind spot Honda LaneWatch again.

Sharp and sporty Interior solid leather seats, sport steering wheel, aluminum shift knob, aluminum sports pedals and Red Type R badge detail.

Audio system anchored by 542-watt, 12-speaker sound setup. But drivers are advised to fully disabled. Better sound comes the throaty growls ominously pouring from the eager type R.

The vehicle is equipped with 20-inch aluminum alloy wheels and performance tires. In addition to the comfort and Sport modes, there is a + R option to a more dynamic drive.

Get ready for more SUBARU WRX STI TYPE RA NBR SPECIAL

Subaru has been tempting a few new vehicles before 8 June debut, and now we know what one is. Japan Automobile manufacturers announced that it was a WRX STI type RA NBR Special to try to record a new round around the famous Nürburgring Germany was built

Type RA-badge has appeared in many of the previous WRX models, and stands for"notes" or "rally the applicant" depends on the model and the destination (in this case, it is likely the former). NBR certainly stands for the Nürburgring, as Subaru gunning for a record-setting round of four-door saloon on the challenge circuit this summer.

Subaru also released a teaser image of the roof of the carbon fiber car

But the WRX is not the only automaker that has a Subaru is a pest. Other car manufacturers teaser pictures released earlier this week, and contrary to what some other outlets have reported, we believe that it shows BRZ this Impreza – is not set. 

We have not in our parking BRZ to confirm, but we have a similar-enough Scion FR-S (courtesy of Super Street Tapiwa Tolosa). We compare two cars as close as we can get below. Take a look and decide for yourself.

Subaru says we can expect more details on the WRX STI Type RA NBR Special on June 8, and we believe that we will also get details on a new variant of the BRZ.  Stay tuned.

Cyborg dragonfly spy takes to the sky for the first time

The program make a cyborg named Dragonfly has successful tied a small backpack equipped with electronics, sensors and a solar cell to a living insect – and it has taken to the skies for its maiden flight.

The DragonflEye is controlled by pulses of light sent through the pack to specific neurons in the brain, allowing remote control of the drone-like bug to guide pollination or explore areas that are unsuitable for humans.

Cyborg dragonfly was developed by researchers at Draper and Howard Hughes Medical Institute Janelia Research on Campus, which in January unveiled the first genetically modified insect.

' DragonflEye is a completely new kind of micro-aerial vehicle that is smaller, lighter and stealthier than anything else that is man-made, "said Jesse j. Wheeler, biomedical engineer at Draper and principal investigator on the program said earlier this year.

' This system pushes the boundaries of energy harvesting, motion sensing, algorithms, miniaturization and opto-genetics, all-in-one system small enough for an insectto carry. '

The team designed the backpack to act as the middle ground between the insect and the human controller.

Optegentic guidance tools send commands via the fingernail and medium pack special ' send ' neurons to the brain of the insect.

This allowed the neurons are activated by the light-sent by an interface in the backpack a optrode.

However, the researchers noted that the dragonfly neurons are affected is not damaged during the process, it delivers only the small creature with the ability to fly further and with more skill.

Someday these same tools can further medical treatments in humans, resulting in more effective therapies with fewer side effects, "said Wheeler.

' Our flexible optrode technology delivers a new solution enabling secure access tosmaller, scaled-down diagnostics neural goals and higher precision therapies. '

The neurons kicked than in the usual routine of sending signals to the wings in order to encourage the insect to fly.

The small solar panels were also tied up around the backpack harvest energy to power the drone-like system.

By adding this technique, instead of a battery, the Dragon fly not only fly further and longer, but it can also carry additional load.

Not only is this a breakthrough in technology, but the researchers believe that the cyborg dragonfly will soon be used for guided pollination, reconnaissance and even precision medicine and Diagnostics.

Growing Antarctic crack widens and more quickly

A crack that could create an iceberg the size of Cyprus– an ice and one of the largest ice shelf in the Antarctic has branched out and started expanding the screwed-up faster.

Then McGrath, a Geophysicist with the U.S. Geological Survey, said the fissure has been converted to a rack from the seafront, potentially speeding up the ice to break up.

Cracked ice chunk on newly, Larsen C, is a branch of the break that gained notice after dramatic growth in 2014.

The original crack was great with speed meter per day — that the speed has increased since the new fissure formed.

McGrath extended shelf has learned, said the combination of new cracks and more quickly may indicate impending separation from the mount, even immediately this summer.

After this happens, an iceberg approximately 180 kilometres long will be releasing one of the largest ever recorded.

Losing so many ice shelves will shrink by about 10% and scientists have warned that the loss of large amounts of ice "great risk" of the Board as a whole who became unstable and also, broke up.

Now there are only about 20 km from ice binding the ice chunk Larsen C to Antarctica.

Hidden wolf spider captured in Queensland man's photo

Adam Newport, 38, captures images outside his home in Queensland, said many people refused initially to believe her when she tells them about photography/showervenomous predators in the display.

Watch animal-bite that can cause rotting human flesh – can be seen hiding in the grass

The Predator is a huge Wolf spider.

'I caught this wolf spider inside my house in the bathroom and took it across the road to release it onto the grass,' Mr Newport said.

"It must be 10cm in diameter, but when I put it down I was surprised to see how well and quickly it blended in

"It's like an optical illusion. I had so many people say there is nothing there.

The venom of a wolf spider can cause extreme pain but is not usually life-threatening.

In some cases however, it can cause human flesh to rot away.

"I saw two wolf spiders in my house in seven or eight years - they can be dangerousif they give you bite," said Mr. Newport.

"How well it certainly makes it more dangerous camouflage - if you hold on it with bare feet which really bite you."

Venomous Spiders can be found in the center of the photo of Mr. Newport, hidden by grass mats.

This innocuous photograph of a suburban garden lawn contains a hidden danger - but could you identify  it?

The great mystery of Antarctica's "Blood Falls" has been finally explained by science

Since it was first discovered in 1911, the mystery of the Antarctic continent "blood Falls" remains unique. Now, a new study from the Journal of Manabu reveals how water up to red tones--and not the blood.

Researchers in the past shows that undertone of red water derived from algae, but it makes it seem as if the blood that leaked from a glacier, and the blood fell, which actually comes from the saltwater, including a large number of iron, National Geographic noted.

Research conducted by the University of Alaska in Fairbanks and the University of Colorado scientists found that blood waterfall glacier sits on top of the Lake and the water system, "flows over one million years. Researchers solve the mystery of the 20th century-long, with radar to accurately scan the ice producing "bloody" free flowing water, as well as localization to determine where the water flows.

University of Alaska Fairbanks glaciologist Erin Pettit told Phys.org the discovery means the Blood Falls "is now the coldest known glacier to have persistently flowing water" on the planet.

The illusion that the blood flows from the glacier created a unique Organization all the more unique, but why not freeze? The survey revealed that frozen water has a "permanent hydraulic system" under the glacier, that releases heat energy, in turn melts the ice surrounding it, as the Business Insider reported.

According to National Geographic, the system freezing and thawing is further perpetuated by the consistency of very salty, meaning that water freezes at a lower temperature than pure water.

The impact of this long-awaited the consequences could go beyond the reality of the world, noted people in the business. The ancient system of microbe free glacier flows easier to research than in frozen ice cap and potentially will give scientists an easier way to research the life of another planet.

Honda Clarity EV & Plug-In Hybrid Just Introduced In New York

Japan automobile manufacturer Honda has set a big goal selling 75 000 cars in electricity to the United States in four years to another and make believe that the key to this goal, he will have a very versatile type of buyers, all car plug-in called clear.

Name of the King is clearly in the fuel cell car hydrogen of the rent to the United States, which since 2016 this week of the Honda of New York auto show, she became anamed range by lunching a transparent plug-in hybrid electric and sharp. Both are similar to the original fuel cell.

But there are differences under the skin.engine 4-cylinder 1.5 litre and electric motor, size 181hp that can draw power from the battery or the gasoline engine, Honda hybrid plug-ins may be clearly true for electric start engines to provide a charge when the battery is empty.

However, an electric battery powered to the power of the electric motor, power - when she's all 161hp must be reconnected at the point of care.

"Honda clarity is intended to accelerate the deployment of advanced electric drive system technology and to bring more electric vehicles into the mainstream, said Jeff Conrad, Senior Vice President of American Honda Motor Co, Inc.

Now, even within the geographical place, to advance. Infrastructure charging is the fire of the station to fuel hydrogen - or public network - also present in children. This is partly because of the chicken and egg syndrome. If a driver for the electric car needs additional infrastructure. However, people will not buy an electric car in the lot until the infrastructure update.

The other problem is the anxious, electric range, the contrast can cover 120 miles toassess when charging (it will be certified EPA), it can be recharged to 80% in 30 minutes, when it is connected to the charger, but the car can be difficult to sell - if the average daily commute in the United States is less than 60 miles.

Fuel cells, which generate the clarity of electricity by a chemical reaction between hydrogen and water. 366 miles is very impressive. However, it is only available in California in the foundations of the infrastructure of hydrogen, gradually implemented.

For Honda on the plug-in hybrid, clarity, which are activated in two trim levels covering 42 miles of electric-only and a range of management engine + 330 miles in total, before all of the used energy sources.

M.O.A.B. 'Mother of all Bombs' it is world's largest non-nuclear weapon

Be created as a psychological weapon. Panic is designed to make the enemy to surrender.

But today, receive a reduction of f-43/b-referred to as the "mother of all bombs"-Ina Islamic State in Afghanistan

It is believed that the remaining chimneys of the explosion will be wider than 300 meters after the explosion six feet above the ground.

The first time time Moab (Massive Ordnance Air Blast). In the first fight, but it was a big explosion, and how it works?



Blast off 30 feet long Temple (9 m) wide and 40 inches (1 m) and weighs 21,000 pounds (9, 500 kg) heavier than the nuclear bomb-Hiroshima.

Moab or f-43/b is larger non-nuclear weapons in the world.

It is designed to destroy heavily reinforced targets or troop and armor around the decomposition of large areas.

The bomb is equivalent to 11 tons of TNT, for comparison. Nuclear weapons in Hiroshima, down with 15 tons of TNT bombs.

The test for the first time in 2003, was developed by u.s. forces, in preparation for the invasion of Iraq. But it was deployed during the battle.

Blast off 30 feet long Temple (9 m) wide and 40 inches (1 m) and weighs 21,000 pounds (9, 500 kg) heavier than the nuclear bomb-Hiroshima.

While the explosion RADIUS stretched out in every direction, turn the effects of nuclear radiation for non-sustainable.

A large bomb is not easy, even in the world's biggest airplane explosion can't handle the weight and size of Moab.

You can use the bombs from the back of a cargo plane that uses a unique system only.

Parachute bombs from a plane in the box that are separate from the pump quickly.

Then expand the fin of the body to help control the descent.

This accelerates quickly to terminal velocity, and some are taken via satellite.

Bombs, six feet (1.8 meters) above the ground, using the ' airburst ' decentralized mechanism for the destruction of the horizontal instead of vertical.

Today, the big f-bomb, air weapons, 43/b hit ' tunnel complex in the province of Nangarhar's Achin break Afghanistan said in a statement.

There is only the MC-130 plane load of stars out to weapon local time of 7:00 to.

I had a large bomb Bay doors are original or are released from the wings of airplanes, so we can kick out the door after the U.S., Fox News said.

Explosive manufacturing huge power weapons you can feel out due to construction.

Aluminum engineers used for some disorders have a burden of Moab. To avoid interrupting the steel thickness impact target frame.

Moab developed psychological weapon to aterrorizará enemy troops to surrender for the first time.

"The goal is to have a pressure better than Saddam Hussein, then Secretary of Defense Donald sawam Interline said.

"Short-not cooperate-the goal is to have the capacity of the Government, which clearly and obviously there is an enormous disincentive for the military of Iraq, while fighting with the Government".

AeroMobil radical hybrid vehicle will be ready for pre-order THIS YEAR

It has more than ten years in the making, but the Slovak society is finally ready to unveil the first car marketed.

Called the AeroMobil vehicles have been designed. There are hundreds of improvements will be made at Monaco, good brand, leading the motor show when the April 20.

With the car flying the AeroMobil aims to provide personal transportation more efficient. By offering a choice of transportation on the road or in the sky--and put an end to traffic jams always.



The car can accommodate two, the pilot will have to get a license to fly. However, the design was not yet perfect the wings folded in the back seat behind the driver in car mode

AeroMobil launches a new type of car, fly in a super car fair next week, said the current law framework built for cars and airplanes.

"Overall, the Aero cars, and it heralds a new era in the feature in exciting and powerful passenger traffic, allow users to select a transport. On the road or in the air, the team AeroMobil has shared in the command.

"AeroMobil is intended to make personal transportation more efficient and respectful of the environment, and travel for the journey. In the medium term, and in a limited area of the road infrastructure or missing. "

The team started this journey in the year 1990, with a sketch of the vision for the future of transport.
And last year, it had become a unified approach.

"We have developed the concept of a flying car since the 1990 year, Tatiana AeroMobil, said a spokesman for Veber.

"Our first version looks pretty strange, and there will be problems in using the ordinary."

It is a signal to improve the concept of flying cars will become part of the normal traffic

"We have several avionics experts to design and problem solving techniques, of the process of change.

"The car was built to be a meal in a typical gas station, fuel for the Rotax 912 ULS engine."

Even if there are changes in the stolen car. The company has always talk that his carwas unable to get its wings when it reaches the floor-which allows him to seamlessly in a traditional parking areas.

When using a car. The vehicle comes with a range of 310 miles long and nearly 5 feet.

Built from mild steel frame and carbon layer. When aircraft are becoming no less than 26 feet wide and 19 feet long, sleep.

The width increases result from the deployment of the wings fold.

992 pound weight vehicles with speed up to 90 mph and a range of 430 miles, such as aircraft.

The earlier version is the third generation of boats, which launch in 2015.

"Now for the final and General program of construction in real conditions of flight, since the company said in October the 2557 interview from 2015.

Juraj Vaculík co-founder and CEO of AeroMobil, said it would sell in the year 2560, and the company is also a developer of driving myself (fly) version-displays the latest developments of the company have kept the order of.

"We have several avionics experts to design, technical troubleshooting and change process.

"The car was built to be a meal in a typical gas station, fuel for the Rotax 912 ULS engine."

AeroMobil launches master of the three festivals of pioneer in Austria at the October 29 2015.

However, the design was not yet perfect wings that folded in the back seat behind the driver in car mode.

The company also published a video of her in action through the city streets and then use air.

He said "AeroMobil 3 is a luxury. Comfortable for the driver and passengers, and an unusual performance of a sports car that has the quality of a ' conscious ' feet.

Now, the company is believed to be the latest version "is a new era in travel, effective and exciting."

‘The Two Maidens" of Pompeii found wrapped in a poignant embrace after deadly volcano are both MEN

As the rock fusion and ash swept the hapless city of Pompeii there are almost two thousand years, two residents sentenced to clutch each other in their last moments.

Caught in the trap in an eternal embrace, they came to be called ‘Two Maidens’ since their discovery - but now a CT-scan and DNA tests on the body revealed that the two characters are actually men.

While the true nature of their relationship can never really be known, the analysis revealed for certain that they were not family members, and researchers say that the possibility that they were in love "can not be rejected."

Caught in the trap in an eternal embrace, they came to be called ‘Two Maidens’ since their discovery - but now a CT-scan and DNA tests on the body revealed that the two characters are actually men.

WHO WERE THE 'TWO MAIDENS'? 

Two figures were discovered in the volcanic wreckage of Pompeii, positioned such that one’s head rests on the other’s chest.

Thought to be women, they've come to be known as 'The Two Maidens.'

But recent archaeological efforts have revealed the two figures are actually men.

With a CAT scan and DNA tests, including analyses of their bones and teeth, researcher determined that the men were about 18 and 20 years of age, though the latter may have been older.

While the nature of their relationship can never truly be verified, the researchers said ‘the fact that they were lovers is a hypothesis that cannot be dismissed.’

But, one thing is known for certain – the two men were not related.

Archaeologist Vittorio Spinazzola creating casts of figures after their discovery at the House of the Cryptoportico in the early 20th century.

And since 2015, researchers have worked to learn more about them and other 86 victims of the eruption of Vesuvius who were cast in plaster for conservation.

The city has been removed during the devastating natural disaster in 79 a.d., and wethink that thousands of people have lost their lives.

In the effort more recent researchers conducted intensive tests on victims of the bones and teeth - and this has led to a discovery that overthrew their previous assumption on its head.

'The Two Maidens.'" were men.

"Pompeii never ceases to amaze," said Massimo Osanna, Supe rintendent of the archaeological site of Pompeii.

"We always imagined that it was an embrace between women.

"But a CT-scan and DNA revealed that they are men.

In the effort more recent researchers conducted intensive tests on victims of the bones and teeth - and this has led to a discovery that overthrew their previous assumption on its head.


Their bones and teeth showed the men were around 18 to 20 years, although the latter may have been older.

Their bodies are placed such that a human head rests on the chest of the other.

Although there is a lot of speculation about their relationship, which can never really be verified,

Osanna said "the fact that they were in love is a hypothesis that cannot be dismissed."

But one thing is known for certain - ‘Two Maidens’ revealed today to be men, were not related to each other.

"When the discovery was made, that they were not two young girls, some scholars suggest it could have been an emotional connection between the couple," said Professor Stefano Vanacore, who led the
research team of Pompeii, the Telegraph reports.

"But it is assumptions that can never be verified.

" What is certain, is that the two parties were not parents, or brothers, or a father and a son. "

THE DESTRUCTION OF POMPEII, AS SEEN FROM A DISTANCE

An administrator and a poet by the name of Pliny young saw the disaster unfold from a distance.
Letters describing what he saw found in the 16th century.

His writing suggests that the eruption took the inhabitants of Pompeii unawares.

He has said that a column of smoke "as an umbrella pine" went to volcano and the cities around him in black as night.

People ran for their lives with torches, shouting and some wept as rain of ash and pumice stones fell for several hours.

While the eruption lasted for about 24 hours, the tides of pyroclastic first started at midnight, causing the column of the volcano to collapse.

avalanche of hot ash, rock and gas rushed down on the side of the volcano at 124 mph (199kph), burying victims and the remains of daily life.

Hundreds of refugees sheltering under the arcades vaulted beachfront at Herculaneum, clutching their jewelry and money, was killed instantly.

As people fled from Pompeii or hid in their houses, their bodies were covered withblankets of expansion.

While Pliny does not estimate how many people died, the event was supposed to be 'outstanding' and the number of deaths is supposed to more than 10,000

Volocopter VC200 :18 rotor Volocopter for everyday use go ahead to begin trials

It has been more than six years in the making, but a German start-up will finally have the chance to test his commercial 18-rotor drone on public roads.

Designed by e-Volo, Volocopter 2 X has been approved as an ultralight airplane andshould receive the certification of type 'multicopter' in 2018 - let serve as taxis for projects flight.

The 2 X is a reformulated version of the VC200 Volocopter, which now has a more sporty look, a lithium ion battery and can recharge a speed of 62 mph - makes it more suitable for everyday use.

Dream of the first humans personal flight time as a daily routine becomes feasible,"e-Volo said.

"So it not only offers more widespread use in the areas of conventional aircraft, butus one step closer to air taxi services and transport all systems in the third dimension."

While some may question the success of the helicopters electric, e-Volo is not a rookie in the industry.

The firm carried out a flight test private March 30 on an airfield South of the Germany.

With passenger in tow, the VC200 Volocopter took off for a three minute journey using his 18 softly humming the rotors and environmentally friendly electric propulsion.

Since the last success of the device, the e-Volo has been busy finalizing the boat and talking with officials about its use in commercial environments.

And the firm figured that if she has been upgraded the roar of the helicopter, it should also change its name.

Now that it has been redesigned for daily use, Volocopter VC200 is now called Volocopter 2 X.

It has been more than six years in the making, but a German start-up will finally have the chance to test his commercial 18-rotor drone on public roads. Designed by e-Volo, Volocopter 2 X has been approved as an ultralight airplane andshould receive the certification of type 'multicopter' in 2018 - let serve as taxis for projects flight.

During the overhaul, the boat received a battery replacement of a battery the lithium that allows a quick and ready for use in minutes Exchange: the battery can be charged completely in about 120 minutes using a power outlet traditional.

2 x body has also received a makeover, because it now has a look more sports which includes a delicate rotor plane and a cabin that can comfortably accommodate adults.

It has a maximum range of 17 miles, can reach a speed of 43 mph and its maximum flight time is 27 minutes at a speed of 31 mi/gal, The Verge reported.

However, The Verge also noted that if the flyers are not concerned by the beach, they can hit a top speed of 62 mph.

Although e-Volo has changed some components, the firm has kept a few features that really do stand out from the rest of the plane.

The 2 X is electric, emission-free and easily operated by a touch screen and a control joystick and is deemed a vertical takeoff and landing aircraft (ADAV).

Alexander Zosel, the pilot who flew the original Volocopter in 2016, has unveiled these capabilities last year by taking his hand on the handle broom and giving his team on the ground two inch upward.

Zosel also explained that the process before the take-off was just as effortlessly.

"I received, we have made preliminary controls to what you want maybe 20seconds, and after that, I had already gotten the fire to fly," said.

"I did not wait long, I simply pushed the lever upward and the Volocopter simply suspended upward in a single bound."

With his conception of the canvas of white spider and 18 disks humming softly, it seems that he was pulled straight out of a science fiction book. "The goal is to changethe mobility for a lot of people, not only for fun," said Zosel.

"For transport and to get the work done."

Hoverboards are REAL: Franky Zapata soaring above the French Atlantic ocean on a super-fast hoverboard

A lone figure was captured soaring above the ocean on a super-fast hoverboard in breathtaking new footage.

Franky Zapata, the inventor of the futuristic hoverboard, is sending ripples across the wide sea of the coast of Sausset - the - pines, France, as he zoomed in the sky.

The Air Flyboard is a device that allows users to fly untethered across the sky at an incredible height of 10,000 feet (3 048 m), which is almost seven times that of the Empire State Building.

Mr Zapata's original Flyboards are popular with the likes of Justin Bieber and Kylie Jenner - but his latest invention puts Marty McFly's hoverboard to shame.

The device uses a 'independent drive unit"to fly for about 10 minutes and has a topspeed of 93 mph (150 kph), Zapata Racing says.

"Create, innovate and never give up are the values that helped me realize my dreams," says Mr Zapata.

' Who has ever dreamed of jumping out of the water and in the air, free of all constraints? It's the dream that is at the origin of the products that we offer.

"I'm proud to see our machines operate on six continents and to attend the sensations they evoke, either for beginners or advanced users."

Flyboard Air is not yet for sale to the public of the United States or the United Kingdom, and it is unclear how much it will cost.

Earlier versions of the Flyboards are available for purchase worldwide for between$2 675 (£ 1 577) and $12,000 (£ 9 626) and can also be rented at various centres in the United States and the United Kingdom.

The 37-year-old (pictured) recently used his Flyboard Air to travel more than 2,252 meters (7,388ft) off the French Atlantic coastal town of Sausset-les-Pins 

Mr Zapata has achieved the feat on a craft developed by his company, Zapata Racing.

He also holds a Guinness world record earlier to some 26 backflips with a water jetpack in a single minute.

Speaking at a press conference after the successful attempt, a happy Zapata told reporters: "It has really been a life's work.

Is this proof of BEER on Mars? Nasa image seems a large green bottle on the surface of Mars

Forget whether or not there is water on Mars - if this picture is to be believed, there's a cold beer on the surface of the red planet.

One mud March 'anomaly Hunter' spotted a strange object that looks like a green bottle in the imagery of Nasa rover.

The shape of the odd bottle appears to have a red, green and white label and even a cork or stopper at the end.

The photos were taken by Nasa's Spirit rover during a mission on thesurface of Mars in November 2007.

Vigilante March 'anomaly hunter' Thomas Miller, 64, spotted the strange shape while he was newer snapshots sifting through curiosity ofthe red planet.

The anomaly hunter found the bottle while browsing through panoramas of Nasa images stitched together by other Mars enthusiasts.

"We find trash, tools, machine parts, small pieces of paper, as well as sculpture and carved in tablets of stone. I tend to see artifacts on the Martian surface as part art gallery and part landfill.

But Nigel Watson, a foreign expert and author of the Handbook of UFO investigations, is skeptical about the discovery of the bottle.

"I think they're looking for something out of the ordinary, and our minds want to see patterns in things." Given the thousands of images of Mars, you're bound to find something that looks a little unusual.



The bottle appears to have a red and white label and even a cork or cap at the end

Usually more clear photos or those taken from a different angle shows that these anomalies are really rocks, or the whims of the light.

The strange shaped bottle isn't the first oddity to be spotted on Mars.
