Flying car based on Ferrari 'could be reality within two years'http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/3366415/Flying-car-based-on-Ferrari-couldbe-reality-within-two-years.htmlThe 'Autovolantor' - based on a £200,000 Ferrari 599 GTB - is being developed by"Moller International".It will have the ability to take off vertically and hover thanks to eight powerful thrusterswhich direct air down for take off. Vents then tilt so the car can fly forward.The car is expected to be able to do 100mph on the ground and 150mph in the air.The calculated airborne range is 75 miles and ground range is 150 miles.Designer Bruce Calkins says the car features a specially designed hybrid fuel andelectric system to power the thrusters, creating as much as 800 horse power.He believes it will be able to fly at altitudes of up to 5,000ft.Mr. Calkins said: "The Autovolantor is powered by eight fans mounted in the fuselage ofthe vehicle. On the ground these fans push the vehicle around with a firm but not-toopowerfulthrust of deflected air. Small vanes in the exit area of the ducts can direct theair forward or back, or remain in the neutral position for vertical take off and landing.”"Once in the air the vehicle maneuvers like a helicopter, tilting nose down to moveforward, rolling right or left for changes in direction."While maximum altitude could be much higher, the energy to obtain altitudes above5,000 feet would be significant so we expect it to stay below that height."Moller chose the Ferrari to be the model for the ground-breaking machine because of itsdistinctive shape.Mr. Calkins, Moller's general manager, added: "The Ferrari 599 GTB has the generalshape and layout we were looking for."Using it allowed us to quickly modify a readily available scale model and run some windtunnel tests to establish the technical feasibility of the project."At first we were very skeptical that we could adapt a ground-vehicle with ourtechnologies and make it work. But the model allowed us to quickly verify that it could infact be done."
Mr. Calkins said he hopes the vehicle's ability to "quick hop' out of traffic' could meanthey attract the backing to fund the project.He estimates a cost of around £500,000 per car.8. Christian Worldview/IssuesInternet Addiction? Millions of Americans Admit to CompulsiveInternet Usehttp://www.christiannewswire.com/news/404588571.htmlTo many people, constant Internet use is the "new normal," but author Jan Kernchallenges this, asserting that too much Internet use is an addiction just like manyothers.While affirming that "God isn't anti-Internet," Kern argues that God wants more for us,wants us to have a real life and relationships, not just virtual ones. "The Internet canoffer a really great experience, and for many people, this is not a problem. Most of ususe the Internet for research, news, communication--and fun," said author Jan Kern."But for some, it can easily become an obsession. Without realizing it, we get suckedinto activities that rob us of the amazing identity, resources, and relationships God hasin mind for us," she continued. We can become so drawn in by the virtual satisfaction ofour wants and desires that we miss the opportunity to see how God might meet thoseneeds more fully in real life.”While experts still debate whether these behaviors constitute an addiction, anorganization called the Center for Internet Addiction Recovery estimates that 5-10% ofthe population has internet addictions, more than half of them sexually-related.And although stopping short of calling the behaviors an addiction, results of a survey byStanford University's Impulse Control Disorders Clinic suggest there are clearsimilarities between extreme Internet use and other addictions.In her new book for young adults, Eyes Online: Eyes On Life, Kern introduces readersto Colin, a real person whose teen years were marked by pornography use, obsessiveinternet gaming, and escape into chat rooms that kept his real life on hold. The book isthe latest offering in Kern's "LIVE FREE" series which is designed to help young adultsovercome struggles and addictions.At times reading like a novel and at other times written directly to teens, Kern tells us
