Draganflyer X6

Draganflyer X6 is a remote-controlled miniature helicopter that allows users to control it to a maximum height of 8,000 feet (2,400 m). It allows for a fixed altitude to be set. The helicopter is mounted with a camera that can collect up to five hundred gigabytes of real-time recording data. It can be set to record at 1080 HD, low-light vision and thermal vision. The camera is mounted on the vibration-free bottom of the drone. The Draganflyer has six rotors and can fly up to a speed of 20 miles per hour (32 km/h).
The drone is controlled by a single operator with a handheld controller. The controller wears glasses, which display a live feed of what is recorded by the camera.





Incredible Aerial Photos & Video


The X6 helicopter system delivers a high percentage of razor sharp, crystal clear, high resolution images providing you with rich, amazing aerial photos. We can deliver this quality because the camera gimbal is gyro stabilized in the pitch axis and the camera is vibration isolated from the frame. This combination helps keep the camera on target and provides impressive results.

Wide Ranging Applications

Since its introduction in 2008, the Draganflyer X6 has been used in a wide range of applications from real estate and wild life aerial photography, industrial inspection, video production, educational research, and public safety. The X6 helicopter has been approved for operation by Transport Canada, the FAA, and at the time of this writing, is the largest approved public safety installed customer base in North America.

Durable and Safe

Constructed from high quality carbon fiber, the strength-to-weight ratio of the aircraft is very high. Couple this with a strong folding frame and you have very little risk for damage in the event of a hard landing or hitting an obstruction. Bottom line this level of quality protects your investment.

Solar Vehicle


A solar vehicle is an electric vehicle powered completely or significantly by direct solar energy. Usually, photovoltaic (PV) cells contained in solar panels convert the sun's energy directly into electric energy. The term "solar vehicle" usually implies that solar energy is used to power all part of vehicle's propulsion. 

Limitations:

There are limits to using photovoltaic cells for vehicles:

1. Power density: Power from a solar array is limited by the size of the vehicle and area that can be exposed to sunlight. This can also be overcome by adding a flatbed and connecting it to the car and this gives more area for panels for powering the car.While energy can be accumulated in batteries to lower peak demand on the array and provide operation in sunless conditions, the battery adds weight and cost to the vehicle. The power limit can be mitigated by use of conventional electric cars supplied by solar (or other) power, recharging from the electrical grid.
2. Cost: While sunlight is free, the creation of PV cells to capture that sunlight is expensive. Costs for solar panels are steadily declining (22% cost reduction per doubling of production volume).

3. Design considerations: Even though sunlight has no lifespan, PV cells do. The lifetime of a solar module is approximately 30 years.[citation needed] Standard photovoltaics often come with a warranty of 90% (from nominal power) after 10 years and 80% after 25 years. Mobile applications are unlikely to require lifetimes as long as building integrated PV and solar parks. Current PV panels are mostly designed for stationary installations. However, to be successful in mobile applications, PV panels need to be designed to withstand vibrations. Also, solar panels, especially those incorporating glass have significant weight. To be useful, the energy harvested by a panel must exceed the added fuel consumption caused by the added weight.

Oculus


Oculus Rift is one of the technologies developed nowadays. It is a virtual reality head-mounted display. 

This device is made for gamers who want to experience virtual reality. 

Oculus Rift: specs and features

The consumer-oriented version of the Oculus Rift is in development and will feature at greater than 1080p low-persistence-of-vision OLED display. We hope to see wireless connectivity, although there is some debate on this point. Expect there to be 7in displays, with 24-bit colour depth.
That 7in display will use stereoscopic 3D to mimic normal human vision. This means that the left eye sees extra space to the left and the right eye sees more to the right. This gives Oculus Rift a great field of view than previous VR headsets.
The Oculus Rift for developers weighs 379g. The headset also has a motion-tracking system that uses an external camera which tracks infrared dots located on the headset. The consumer Oculus Rift will include a 1000 Hz Adjacent Reality Tracker. This should reduce to almost nothing the sensation of lag in tracking. Oculus Rift uses a combination of 3-axis gyros, accelerometers, and magnetometers.
