Chinese designers have come an innovative cost-effective public transport: the bus tunnel.
The remarkable bus straddles two lanes so that cars driven from below, while it takes up to 1,200 passengers.
It is environmentally friendly because it runs on electricity, using a state-of-the-art loading system. Called relay charging leads the roof of the bus current loading and contacts specific posts, as it moves along.
It is cheaper, because there are two ways it could work: First of all, are special titles could be transferred to any side of the road, like a streetcar.
Or second, could easily be colored lines painted on them to automatically follow conventional to the tires on the road. It will be a driver on the bus at all times, though.
Elevated stations are built to allow passengers to embark, or where there is no place for those who have bus conductors. The emergency exits will be inflatable slides.
And when the bus straddling everything seems to be true to futuristic, it is not surprising - a pilot with over 115 miles of track in Beijing to begin before 2011.
The experiments will focus on traffic management and safety. Managing the flow of traffic is a problem: how, for example, to disable a bus during a road traffic is certainly not guaranteed.
The advanced stage of the plan suggests this is not an insurmountable problem. And who knows - it could revolutionize the public transportation outside of China. London, perhaps?

Panasonic Aims to Triple Rechargeable Battery Sales by 2016
Panasonic Corp., the world's largest rechargeable battery maker, in March 2016 with the carmakers to meet the rising demand for lithium-ion unit sales for the three aims, an executive said in an interview.
Company, USA, Europe, China, India and other countries at the meetings with approximately 20 car batteries, Naoto Noguchi, president of Panasonic battery unit, is to supply said yesterday in Osaka. Panasonic demand for electric cars one trillion yen (12 billion U.S. dollars) for the year end March 2016, approximately ¥ 324.000.000.000 from last fiscal year, the units will help to increase sales of lithium-ion, he said.
Panasonic plans last week to consume more than $ 9,000,000,000 for the renewable energy business to take full control for two pieces was announced. Battery-maker, and Samsung Group to accelerate new product development, including the South Korean rivals Noguchi against the rising challenge of increasing the marketing staff said.
"We will be much faster management decisions," Noguchi said. "South Korean battery maker in the future we, us, but quickly followed up."
The company's 2.5 trillion yen in the global market for lithium-ion batteries ¥ 926.000.000.000 year ended March 31 until companies like Toyota Motor Corp. are selling more cars powered by electricity will begin to increase estimates.
Sanyo Electric Co. and Panasonic About Panasonic Electric Works for 818000000000 yen Co., it has 51 percent and 50 percent respectively of the unit, had offered to buy out.
Shares Fall
Panasonic 1120 yen in Tokyo yesterday to close to 15 percent this year, extending the losses fell 1.2 percent. Sanyo lost 0.7 percent to 136 yen and down 20 percent this year. Electric Works 1099 yen and 0.1 percent decline in 2010 decreased by 2.1 percent. During the benchmark Nikkei 225 Stock Average has declined by 8.1 percent.
Sanyo President Fumio Ohtsubo, and electrical work plans for renewable energy proposals, such as Samsung Electronics Co. and Sony Corp. on television from the company faces mounting competition will be built to expand the business.
Sanyo in some areas continue to be used if the name Panasonic is planning to merge the three companies' brands. Three companies combine their operations, trim, and in January 2012 to establish a new business as an asset, Panasonic said.
Market Share
The company's global lithium-ion battery market in March 2016 as the end of the year, up 35 percent of Sanyo shares, combined with the previous fiscal year goal of winning at least 40 percent, Noguchi said.
Toyota and Tesla Motors Inc. last month to go on sale in 2012 RAV4 compact sport-electric version of the new tool to begin to develop their understanding.
Tesla electric vehicle, and Panasonic decided to develop a new generation of battery cells, the car maker said January 7. Tesla's own tools for the nickel-based lithium-ion battery for Panasonic said it will use.
Carmakers in the U.S. and other markets, little or no oil pressure is consumed and less emissions linked to global warming are continuing work to develop the production model.

Pres. Obama Says Stimulus Funds Responsible for Battery Progress
"You're the lead to show how manufacturing jobs are coming back to the United States of America. Our goal has never been to a government program, but rather the private sector to unleash growth. And we see results. "- President Barack Obama
President Obama in Michigan last week at the groundbreaking of a battery factory that has received $ 151,000,000 in federal funding tout. In the process, Pres. Obama made sure everybody was aware of the "tens of thousands of American jobs" coming from the federal battery investment.
According to an Energy Department report released last week, the 2.4 billion U.S. dollars in grant money to provide advanced battery and vehicle was matched by participating companies "at least dollar for dollar." The report stated that the United States only 2 percent of world production EV batteries for the Recovery Act, but the capacity to produce 20 per cent in 2012 and not as much as 40 percent by 2015. The report also said that all nine of the battery plants opening as a result of incentive funds had broken the ground and four would be up and running by the end of this year.
"I just want to make sure everybody understands that this country would be better off if the plant had been built and not as the Clean Energy package that made it possible not to," said President Obama. "And if your head from one of the two dozen battery technology plants coming online that will be stamped" Made in America "their products, people who I wil al tegen te push economic policy in this presentation to the employees why het beter would be for these things are manufactured in other countries. "
6 Tips for Getting Maximum Shelf Life for Your Laptop Battery
The more time you spend on the laptop, the more you appreciate and understand the importance of its battery life. The truth is, no matter how your laptop is capable, it is only as good as the battery that keeps powered. With this in mind, here are 6 very important things you should know about laptop battery life and how to go about their maintenance to ensure that you are getting as much out as possible-
1) Keep your cool-laptop battery warmer battery loses its charge faster capacity. Laptop battery manufacturers will regularly store their products at about 60 ° F. Do not put it in the refrigerator or freezer because it can cause serious damage.
2) Avoid running your laptop battery is completely dry-Although there is a belief that it is best to completely discharge the battery with every charge, it is not the case when it comes to lithium-ion notebook batteries. Today's best when the batteries are full, and they still have 10-20% of capacity remaining.
3) Charge your laptop battery to full capacity for the first time and every time-New batteries come almost always completely empty. Give your laptop battery is completely free of charge upon receipt, and let it fully charge every time you plug in
4) If you do not need it, do not use-capacity laptop battery decreases with each cycle of charging and discharging. Even if your laptop is connected to the wall, the battery is still undergoing constant charge-discharge cycles. If you know you'll be working from the location where you will be near the socket, go ahead and remove the battery and store in a cool place (see # 1).
5) Do not keep batteries stored for long periods of time-Although it is nice to have some spare batteries, laptop batteries are still losing at least a little bit of their charge. Evaluate your laptop battery needs, and keep the ship accordingly.
6) Do not charge your notebook battery before long periods of inactivity-When you need a spare battery or two around, make sure to store them with only 10-20% of capacity remaining. This will keep it performing at a high rate when it is time to put the spare battery into action.
You May well have the best laptop money can buy, but without working batteries for your laptop is useless. Know how to get the most out of laptop battery and putting that knowledge into action will make a big difference and can save you a lot of money and headaches.

Are Lithium Air Batteries the Future of Electric Vehicles?
The first flush of plug-in cars set to hit the market later this year, there is still uncertainty whether consumers will balk at the price tag and scope of the limitations of early-model electric vehicles. Both of these drawbacks can be traced to the shortcomings of the current generation of lithium Ion Battery, which has made huge strides over the last decade but still capable of meeting the needs of some drivers.
But what if the lithium battery can be lighter, cheaper and at least five times more powerful than those that power cars like the Chevy Volt, i MiEV, Mitsubishi, Nissan or leaves?Argonne Laboratories says lithium air batteries may be all of these things and more, and it uses a $ 8,800,000 grant by the government to make them.
As a technology, lithium air is still in his childhood, but clean-tech start-ups, universities and carmakers around the world are racing to find out if this is indeed the future electric mobility. Most experts say that the battery is at least a decade away (maybe two), and there are some major barriers to bringing down costs and ensuring that the technology will hold up to real world challenges. Still, promises lithium air is intriguing enough that General Motors and several other major automakers are all believed to be studying it.
A regular lithium Ion battery works by moving ions from a carbon anode via an electrolyte (usually lithium salts), in a solid metal oxide cathode. Lithium air batteries use lithium anode and a porous carbon cathode, allowing lithium ions to move freely through an unlimited supply of oxygen. The difference, in layman's terms, is that a lithium battery air "breathes," allowing its capacity to be limited only by how much lithium is contained in its anode. Results in a battery smaller, lighter, and hopefully cheaper. It also means stronger electric vehicles, with ranges of 500 miles or more.
The federal government is very bullish on future technologies like lithium air battery, and recently awarded an additional $ 34,000,000 in research on advanced auto batteries.
