Of the exciting tech stories to cross our desk
this week, innovations that help people get from point A to B stand out.
Take for example, a young man who made an elevator from a bicycle, or a
group of researchers who designed an RFID ring that gives the wearer
access to a subway, or virtual simulation of Elon Musk's Hyperloop that
shows it could work or a wind-powered ship that has a hull that works as
an airfoil. Read on.
Norwegian designers at Lade AS have designed a unique
ship that they say would achieve fuel savings of 60 percent and reduce
emissions by 80 percent. Their Vindskip (or Windship) has a specially
designed hull that works like a symmetrical airfoil harnessing wind
somewhat like the wing of a plane to generate "lift." The ship would
also use a liquefied natural gas-powered electrical generator for
additional power.
