Next week Audi will debut their prototype Wörthersee e-bike, which promises to be a highly advanced, versatile electric bike from the German automakers. The Audi e-bike will be unveiled at Wörthersee in Carinthia, Austria where trial biker Julien Dupont and downhill specialist Petra Bernhard will demonstrate their stunts and streetbike skills. “As a high-performance e-bike for sports and trick cyc ling, it features the Audi core competences of design, ultra, e-tron and connect,” stated Audi’s Head of Design Wolfgang Egger. weighs 24 pounds and features a compact frame made of carbon fiber-reinforced polymer with a low center of gravity to make it superbly agile. The same carbon fiber-reinforced polymer is also used for the 26″ wheels which feature an innovative “Audi ultra blade” design with broad flat spokes for an optimized transmission of pedal power. The 2.3 kW electric motor sends up to 184 lb-ft. of torque to the rear wheel and uses a lithium-ion battery that only need

Mechanical engineering is a discipline of engineering that applies the principles of physics and materials science for analysis, design, manufacturing, and maintenance of mechanical systems. It is the branch of engineering that involves the production and usage of heat and mechanical power for the design, production, and operation of machine s and tools. It is one of the oldest and broadest engineering disciplines. The engineering field requires an understanding of core concepts including mechanics, kinematics, thermodynamics, materials science, and structural analysis. Mechanical engineers use these core principles along with tools like computer-aided engineering and product lifecycle management to design and analyze manufacturing plants, industrial equipment and machinery, heating and cooling systems, transport systems, aircraft, watercraft, robotics, medical devices and more. Mechanical engineering emerged as a field during the industrial revolution in Europe in the 1

Awesome work done by mechanical engineers.The Real Grass-roots Innovation by Indian wins Best Product Design!This winning product was made at a minuscule cost of Rs. 300 and has potential to affect lives of millions of people across the globe.  Project Goal:“Load carrier for labor” project aims to improve the working condition of laborers and wo rkers at many places globally like construction site, factories, ports, railway stations, etc.Objective:  The objective is to prevent various occupational hazards and demonstrating Product design and ergonomic consideration in welfare of human life.This is called Real Engineering..

maximum mechanical engineers and the mechanical students are having the innovative thinking and has an extraordinary talent to prove themselves in any kind of fields that they are well interested   What it takes to be a Mechanical Engineering?What it takes to be a Mech. Engg.?We entered the college with lot of dreams,With the first day, came the first shock: NO GIRLS.With this we started the great journey.First half of first year passed getting acquainted;Getting out of school mentality, exploring the campus;Second half entangled in daughters, t-squares, set square, sheets;Eventually ended  by rewriting the drawing rules.Third was the semester of great transformation;Mastering the art of copying assignments,Getting famous for infamous acts;No matter lost only few marks.Then came the fourth semester,The of tech fests, seminars;We were the hearth of all the events;And were rated best till date.Fire began from fifth semester;Suddenly the class was rated the worst ever,And rebels

A dream is being crafted on the dock in Cochin Shipyard. Groups of workers in red and navy blue are shaping a vessel that will make the Indian Navy a truly blue-water force.They are making India’s first Indigenous Aircraft Carrier (IAC).The 22 functional aircraft carriers in the world are owned by nine navies. Only the US, Russia and the UK have built carriers exceeding 40,000 tonnes. India is the fourth country to build a ship in this classWork on the IAC started in November 2006 and 70 per cent of the hull blocks are done. Displacement tests, defining the hull form and structure, space analysis and hydrodynamic modelling have also been completed. The indigenous aircraft carrier project signifies not only an attempt to modernise the Navy, but also a shift in strategy. In the past, India had planned only to counter threats from Pakistan and China. But now it is aiming  at global reach. International maritime laws recognise aircraft carriers as sovereign territories in almost all o

Advanced warning for our Antipodean friends in northern Australia not to panic later today when the sky goes dark and the sun seems to disappear: it’s just a total solar eclipse. As it happens, the best view of it will be in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, so anyone bobbing about in a boat east of New Zealand and directly above Antarctica will enjoy the spectacle for the longest time, but lots of people in countries between NZ and South America will get the chance to see at least a partial eclipse. We love an eclipse here at E&T . When the birds fall silent because they think it’s night time: eerie. Click on the graphic for an expanded view. Total solar eclipse 13-14 November 2012
