Tata Developing Air Car?

Indian automaker looks to ride on thick air.

For decades, automotive engineers have been working with the idea of a car that would run on compressed air - or, to elucidate, use compressed air as an energy storage method.
That reality might be a lot closer. Only recently brought to our attention through Gizmag, Indian automaker Tata Motors last month entered an agreement with France ’s MDI Group, a company founded in the 1990s to develop a compressed-air engine that could fit a variety of uses.

Although Tata hasn’t yet announced its intent with the technology, and its product may not take the form of the boxy, lightweight Air Car variants as MDI envisions them, the automaker will likely use the core technology developed by MDI, which includes both a so-called single-fuel engine which runs only on compressed air and a double-fuel engine that runs on compressed air at lower speeds and can switch to conventional fuels for speeds above 50 km/h (31 mph).

The engine uses a unique connecting rod design that allows the piston to stay at top dead center for 70 percent of the crankshaft rotation, allowing pressure to build. It’s paired with a plastic-fiber high-pressure storage tank, similar to what’s used with natural-gas vehicles, which keeps the air up to a pressure of more than 4000 psi and can be recharged at an air station in about three minutes. The range is supposedly better than 200 km (124 miles).

The arrangement, as you might expect, has nearly no emissions at the tailpipe (though of course overall efficiency depends on the compressor used to fill (pressurize) the tank. The engine’s lubrication oil, a liter of vegetable oil, needs to be changed once every 50,000 km (31,000 miles). And, the air expelled may actually be cleaner than the air taken in, as it is run through a carbon filter to remove larger contaminants that might be damaging.
Considering the burgeoning demand for vehicles in emerging markets, the compressed-air engine system could be a potential interim solution for maintaining growth in the vehicle sector if the price of gasoline were to spike. With MDI proposing complete cars beginning at about 6800 euros ($9000), the system also likely costs much less than electric-car components and has similar potential to help improve air quality in smog-choked emerging-market big cities.

High Quality Video calls now available with Skype 3.6 for Windows

Skype today released the latest version of its communication software, making it possible to enjoy free High Quality Video calls that are sharper, smoother and better than anything you’ve seen on Skype™ before. Two weeks ago, Skype and Logitech, the world’s leading manufacturer of webcams, announced a collaboration to deliver a new benchmark of video calls over the Internet.

Today’s release of Skype 3.6 for Windows makes High Quality Video a reality. “Our recent announcement made many people realize that sharp, smooth and life-like video calls on the internet should be available to everyone, not just big companies with expensive video-conferencing equipment,“ said Gareth O‘Loughlin, Skype’s general manager, mobile and hardware devices. “Those who’ve previewed High Quality Video have been blown away by its realism.

Today, with Skype 3.6 for Windows, the Genie is out of the bottle for good.” Whether it’s a father reading a book to his kids back home while he travels for work, grandchildren giving their grandparents a close-up view of their first lost tooth, or colleagues connecting across continents to discuss a business proposal, High Quality Video on Skype offers image-perfect detail and clarity that help people connect better with their friends and families, co-workers and clients. High Quality Video (Skype 3.6 for Windows and Logitech QuickCam® software, version 11.5) brings VGA-quality video calls (640×480 pixels) at up to 30 frames per second (fps) to people using a broadband connection (384 kbps connection or higher), a High Quality Video-certified Logitech webcam and a PC with a dual-core processor. As a result, users can enjoy significantly sharper and smoother video calls – even in full-screen mode.

A collaborative effort between Logitech and Skype, the High Quality Video experience is created through the unique combination of Skype software, Logitech webcams, and a fully redesigned set of drivers in the QuickCam software, all of which are optimized to work together in a way never achieved before on Skype. Logitech’s new webcam drivers are specially tuned to recognize callers who have this latest version of Skype software. High Quality Video on Skype is available with the following Logitech webcams: the Logitech® QuickCam® Pro 9000, the Logitech® QuickCam® Pro for Notebooks and the Logitech® QuickCam® Orbit AF (Logitech® QuickCam® Sphere AF in Europe).
