For the designers, Concept Camaro Coupe is a benchmark that could only be described by three words dynamic, strong and memorable. Its design carries influence of the classic Camaros (1967- 1969). With a lean proportion, short deck, long hood and dominant fender shape it offers excellent proficiency. The concept car with V8 engine has a complete fetish look overwhelmed by an angular package.
With a 40 years research behind the product, the performance of the coupe is reflected in its sound and drive. The interiors of the sedan accommodates four-pack auxiliary gauge that lends it a dynamic look. It has the fuel, battery and the temperature gauges placed on the center console. Focusing on the steadfast performance, the car has a bright instrument panel with speedometer and white-faced tachometer embedded in the smoked satin metallic bezels. However, it still blends the past with the contemporary technology highlighted through its analog gauges with some digital readouts. Adding to the glamour, the Camaro has platinum and black seats with firm side boosters.
For those who can afford the Camaro Coupe just an imagination of the car gets you racing.
Have you ever experienced your reflection in a natural mirror right under the sun? No, then visit the Salar de Uyuni, in Southe west Bolivia, close to the crest of Andes, at an altitude of 3,650 meters. The stretch of salt extends to 4,085 square miles and is about 10 meters thick.
During the wet season, the salt stretch transforms into a natural mirror, since a sheet of water layer enables to reflect any image that falls on it. Most of the time, the sunny blue sky is apparently visible in the mirror that makes a stupendous spot for tourists from all round the world.
It has been estimated that the Salar contains about 10 million tons of salt, and about 25.000 tons is extracted every year. That adds to the global benefit. More so, researchers make good use of the salty stretch for testing and calibration of the remote sensing instruments on the satellites. This is extremely useful for studying the Earth. The advantage is that, the sky above Salar is crystal clear; therefore, the surface proves to be five times better for calibration than the surface of the ocean.

They have toured 4 continents, 57 countries and still craving for a cycling trip across Asia in November 2008. Pat and Catherine Patterson at 62 and 48 in 2002 respectively, had begun their “world tour” four years ago. The couple sold their real-estate company and cars, bought a new home and let that up for rent, and gave their furniture to their children. They had set out for a journey “leaving it all behind”.
It was way back in 1985, while on his brief trip to China, that Pat realized the essence of liberty for the first time in his life. At the end of his tour to China, Pat realized the “insanity” of touring foreign countries on bike. Some years later, Pat got married to Catherine, and while helping Pat in compiling his photos from his bicycling trip in China, she proposed for such a trip together.
Pattersons began their trip in 2002, biking from California in the east, transversing United States to reach Greenland, further, they continued through Europe and Russia moving down to Africa, and taking to southern Chile and lastly making their way back to California. The couple could realize at the end of it, the weight of the world was lifted off their shoulders.

Not too many people know about the versatile engine for road, race and sports - Alfa Romeo 8C reigning through the 1930s. On deciphering the extended nomenclature 8C, it refers to the Alfa Romeo’s straight 8-cylinder engine. Designed by Vittorio Jano the 8C racing engine was one of the incomparable pieces by Alfa Romeo from 1931 to its desertion in 1939. With further enhancements, the engine powered vehicles like the 1935 3.8 litre Monoposto 8C 35 Type C, the Alfa Romeo 8C 2900B Mille Miglia Roadster and twin engined 1935 6.3 litre Bimotore.
Earlier in 1931, Jano’s P3 8C engine featured a common crankcase with two-alloy four cylinder blocks, with integrated heads. It had no separate heads neither did it have head gasket to fail. The central gear tower drove the superchargers, ancillaries and overhead camshafts. This led to first model produced in 1931, the 8C 2300. Alfa Romeo now introduced the first single seater racing car, the Monoposto Tipo B P3 for the 1932 Grand Prix season. In 1939, the 6C engined models took over more expensive the 8C engines and the trend continued until WWII.
While the more expensive 8C engine ceased production in 1939, production of 6C engined models continued till after WWII. Improvements continued with Alfa Romeo engines with the racing cars appearing in production models the following years.
Lately, Alfa Romeo renovated the 8C into V8-engined concept car in 2004. This was made into production in 2007 as Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione.
Here’s a robot ready to perform some awesome stunts - Modular Snake Robot, designed to craw, climb, and swim traverse a wide range of terrains. From climbing poles to creeping inside pipes and conduits to traversing small grooves in walls, the snake robot is capable of executing many physical tasks that humans do. It is an all-in-one robot, which can carry out multiple functions that would require several robots to do.
Modular Snake Robots have been purposely designed to accomplish the maintenance of pipelines, plumbing in large buildings and fiber optic networks. Moreover, it can also act as a device for espionage. This robot enjoys internal degrees of freedom, which enables it to perform different types of locomotion, making it more competent than the conventional wheeled and the legged robots.
The crucial features of robots include – modular robot design and snake robot locomotion. Locomotion of the snake robot is achieved through the designed gaits. Essentially, these gaits are cyclic internal motions that interact with environment to push ahead. Further, the robots can move through a variety three-dimensional terrains with the help of the gaits.
The Snake Robots are undeniably versatile mechanisms offering optimum efficiency and toughness.
