eVTOL manufacturer Wisk Aero said it was the first to complete public eVTOL flight demonstrations in Los Angeles County. It also met with local officials to discuss the future of advanced air mobility services in the area.
Possibly – AEVs are far more efficient than conventional gas-powered vehicles: AEV batteries convert 59 to 62 percent of energy into vehicle movement while gas powered vehicles only convert between 17 and 21 percent.
Whoever had this idea first will change a bit of history. Early days though now… “The lean-burn, compression ignition (CI), direct injection (DI), is the most efficient internal combustion engine (ICE) (Zhao, 2009; Mollenhauer and Tschöke, 2010). It produces engine-out emissions of nitrous oxides and particulate matter (PM) that need after treatment to match the extremely low limits set up for transport applications (Lloyd and Cackette, 2001; Burtscher, 2005; Maricq, 2007)”
Advantages and Disadvantages of Diesel Single and Dual-Fuel Engines
The pros and the cons of lean-burn, compression ignition (CI), direct injection (DI) internal combustion engines (ICE) are reviewed for transport applications. Fueling options considered include diesel only and dual-fuel applications with diesel and a gaseous fuel (CNG, LNG, and LPG). CIDI ICEs have... Read more
Commuters looking for a reason to ditch the car and use alternate modes of transportation will be encouraged to do so in Pierce County, south of Seattle, through the use of Miles, an app that rewards…
This may be a thing soon…. “The Lufthansa Innovation Hub has unveiled the RYDES app, through which passengers can not only collect air miles, but also miles using shared cars, bikes and scooters, as well as public transport. “
After rewarding air miles, Lufthansa Innovation Hub is now collecting public transit miles as well. The Lufthansa Innovation Hub has unveiled the RYDES app, through which passengers can not only collect air miles, but also miles using shared cars, bikes and scooters, as well as public transport.

If you’re looking for a skateboard for your dog, then this guide should really help you out. You see, you won’t actually be looking for what most people would refer to as “a skateboard,” so the name is actually a bit misleading. But hey, that’s what will people call it anyway when they sta... Read more

Looked them up and they are a thing already, great idea. Not sure how they feel to ride but likely similar to those with 2 wheels at the front or back.

A pioneering trial to use solar energy to partly power a railway line has become our latest effort to develop a greener network. Last month, social enterprise Riding Sunbeams switched on the first ever solar panels to directly supply a railway line with electricity, paving the way for the world’s ... Read more
Unfortunately, air taxis will mean busier and more noisier skies, especially when you also consider the increasing popularity of delivery drones.
Air taxis can revolutionize urban transportation, bringing an end to traffic congestion.
Check this out! Boeing is already doing tests for public air taxis in Los Angeles.

Air taxis have been a distant dream for many years, but they are on their way to becoming a reality.
Just how safe is this scooter? What if the inflatable material gets punctured?
Here’s a concept for a custom inflatable electric scooter
Check out this scooter that can fit your backpack when deflated.
A simple yet very futuristic idea!
heh… I mean, what have the Romans ever done for us apart from water bridges?
Watch this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MuojdstC5XU
Ok (you mean aqueducts right?)
Possibly – AEVs are far more efficient than conventional gas-powered vehicles: AEV batteries convert 59 to 62 percent of energy into vehicle movement while gas powered vehicles only convert between 17 and 21 percent.
Cool, I found this vid But won’t electric engines replace them sooner rather than later?

I have a dog that shows interest in skateboards. I will definitely follow this idea.
This idea was tested out on some apps for a few months, Not sure what became of it.

Seen one go past the other day, not sure why the back wheel isn’t big too, you can get them on Amazon.
Says here they are in use already – “The famous ‘Van Gogh Village’ uses Tvilight CitySense”
Old idea, but yeah, LED lights would work well for this.
Not sure if this is still the case but it took 20 minutes to get street lamps to light up efficiently, maybe that has changed with LEDs?
I have 2 dogs. can they form a convoy?
This
Love it, could adapt one of these.
I guess the train drivers can see them so that’s ok then.
Ironically, this is the only station sign you could actually read when going past
Quadro4 anybody?
Looked them up and they are a thing already, great idea. Not sure how they feel to ride but likely similar to those with 2 wheels at the front or back.
Not sure if this is “greenwash” but it is being looked into in the UK.
Been proven to work already – we need them in the UK as we rely on diesel too much
Like the farthing idea, these current 1 wheelers seem to over complicated things. Stick the motor in the big wheel and no faff.
or something like this but without the handlebar. just a back wheel to stablise.
Like this, but bigger with a seat
