when i think air is happening in the west is that people essentially believing in this world when they believe that you know that me to be an phantom tactic. they simply don't realize when propaganda is being pointed out we need to go by beyond that and actually gauge with the ideas information that is presented as well and confront that information and i think that's something that as you mentioned before not everything is black and white not everything isn't taken is taken and the more that we can be open to open minded khana source of information regardless of the source i think we're all going to be better off.

hello and welcome to technology updates the world cup's over but if you think you've seen the end of countries going head to head in the heat think again because we can check out the national teams looking for racing glory in barcelona but first glance the catalonian capital seems more touristy than techie puts looks can be deceiving already home to the world's largest mobile tech conference in two thousand and thirteen barcelona became the birthplace of the smarts moto challenge where it seems of engineering students from around europe came to the city to pitch their electric bikes against each of the over four grueling days and last year participants were left eating the dust from bush's make you want. to name just to make a ons famous make one fights the bike was designed and built by the moscow state university of mechanical engineering also known as mommy and the universities are varying so use the theory from. classrooms could see out on the track.

back in two thousand and ten take up sneak levy followed another team of students from the uni competing in the formula student competition in germany held in the country's historic hockenheim bring seventy five teams from eighteen countries old into town with a single seat for all races to take part in the event. although there was no champagne shower for the russian team they did reach the checkered flag despite the conditions which is more than can be said for many of the other teams but motorsports hasn't been unaffected by the shift towards electric power of truck. demand for electric transport in europe where parking spaces scarce fuel is expensive and the public is concerned about the environment. as participants in this race we want to support that philosophy founded by

a similar trend in russia if those are that people become more aware of environmental issues so that everyone realizes that we only have one planet and we have to look after it. really. built in one thousand nine hundred ninety one. saloon you has played host to some of the world's most prestigious racing events and it's sixteen turns over four point five clicks provide a formidable challenge for cars and bikes to light. this month the track was a hive of activity is big name teams tweaks and superbikes ready for the twenty of twenty four hour comes a lumia enjoins race. just a stone's throw away in pits forty seven the students are working just as hard to bring their bikes up to scratch for tomorrow's inspection. this year seven teams from spain poland ecuador and russia each looking for a place on the podium. hoping to repeat last year's victory and in the face of

stiffer competition the mummy students have come back with a completely new set of wheels they've dropped the electric bicycle design in favor of a fully fledged enduro style motor bike with only the same headlights as last year's winner. has more in common with his complicity in engine cousins next door. money is journey to barcelona started the best part of a year ago it's a one month to put the team together which is made up of specialists in different fields but all sharing the same thirst for victory then followed for arduous months of meticulously planning and modeling each note and well. once the team had settled on the final text it was time to stop pencil pushing and get their hands dirty in the workshop. software helps the students measure twice and cuts once having fully modeled in stress tests of their frame and forks virtually the team knew exactly what to build and how it's a handle on the day. with only

a limited budget the guys had to be crafty about which parts to buy in and which ones to make in-house. they opted for steel tubes for the frames offering the optimal tradeoff between strength and weight and cost. but like anything the finished product is only as good as its components parts. and. we started exploring new opportunities all agree that it's time we should start using composite materials to produce structural elements structural elements but also for example a lighter battery box made of composite materials and so on. take a bike should be made from high tech materials and carbon fiber offers the perfect way to short the structure without starting precious pounds. here the team a length of glistening black strands on an empty. seat the trick is to achieve the right balance between fibers and resin to make sure the saddle sit. just tried it

seems clever use of compazine means that their electric motor cycle weighs just the same as last year's eve by. up to nine months of blood to sweat and tears all that remained for the mummy team to do was to put the finishing touches on their entry this year the rules of the smart challenge stated teams have to use motorbike wheels and that it should be big enough for two people in addition to the standard motor control and dutchy given to each team as well as making it even more difficult to keep weight down the team has been working twice as hard this year and plans to turn up with an a so best leave with only a couple of weeks ago before race day guessing that the bikes money on time was no small task and he soon time to find out if the entries perform as well in the truck as they do on paper. back in the russian comes tensions building as the first round of scrutineer in approaches the team is told through the night in a race against time to get their bikes ready. all the teams have been briefed and

they're now in his hardest were preparing their bikes for thought couple of days ahead this year that guys like me have two entries more casual through neutron and the feisty two proton both bikes have their strengths and even these guys don't know which will perform better in the competition the proton and neutron have the same brake system wheels battery and controller but that's about where the similarities end weighing in it's forty three kilos and with a wheel base of one metre thirty three centimeters the only slightly heavier and longer than his teammate it's rigid frame and swing on a built for speed and require a skilled rider while the neutrons slightly springy frame makes it more of an easy rider to protons titanium front forks a lighter and can be tuned much more finely than the neutrons it's hard to smooth the ride seamlessly shift from one position to another whereas the neutron sacrifice is freedom of movement for comfort. it's nice. the calm before the storm

but before these teams allowed inside this truck their bikes must be scrutinised for compliance with the competition rules and that's just the first hurdle they're also the modern acceleration enjoyments handling and even their business plan all of which will go towards their final score. after the ebonics with tested for water tightness it was time to progress on to the next stage which took place on the dynamic testing grounds in the center of the circuit to cancel your truck here the teams have to prove that their rides a safe in the three under five metre front and back brake tests to produce one breeze but the neutral was hit by a spot of engine trouble having made it to the test area under its own steam at the crucial moments the electric motor refused to spark into life. you have been failures mean you could miss a whole day of the competition or not as a result you could miss out on a few test and lose points but it's never straightforward you can never be sure what will happen. today some of the teams are going to try and turn around

yesterday's failures in through success in a last ditch attempt to get through to the next round. to last night's drama and hours of head scratching the team money to locate and fix the faulty connection that vending machine immobile with both bikes raring to go it's time for the acceleration test his speed is king as the team's takes in turns to open up the struts on the fifty metre straight drag each entry has four attempts at the best time both with and without a passenger and just like last year proton let everyone else down to be one of the above the load of all the come from all over europe and so on they're going to make a noise like a broken at mom dad and good to have it's own offspring all of that will have. the overall is a cult classic its retro design and distinctive side car have stood the test of time looking just as good today as they did when they first hit their. over seventy

years ago the motor bike success just goes to show that old school will never go out of fashion and the bike is firmly cemented this nation of markets such as the motor bikes appeal that the company ships well over ninety percent of its bikes abroad but don't just take my word for it. brad pitts was not immune to the motorbikes charm and treated himself to an overall tourist three years ago you immigrate and tumblr founder david karp can also be listed among the aliases with an oral in that carriage. back on home turf or should i say tomah the overall is the chopper of choice of the night falls pack leader alexander result also known as the surge and the gang even works with the manufacture of the ural back in the nine hundred ninety s. to create the old al wolf. has been we have trained up a whole generation of brilliant amateur engineers who have worked on this machine

they've introduced all sorts of innovations to it from minor improvements to groundbreaking changes each of them would first try out their innovations themselves and then share them with their friends. pretty much all the roles on the road today were produced in a town of in the urals by the one nine hundred seventy s. the factory which was built around an old brewery had brought us more than seven hundred thousand of the three wheelers whose affordability made them a popular alternative to the car and strong demand for the oral outside of russia mentioned the fight to hit its peak production of one hundred thirty thousand bikes per year around this time as well with the trucks being shipped out to north and central africa europe and even as far as australia but to find out more about the origins of the overall we have to go even further back in time. the history of the all because right moscow more than seventy years right. in the same year that

germany invaded for duty and shattering the until gresham part between the two countries the soviet union was forced to bump up production of great plains towns. motorbikes. to fans to relay messages before the start of the war the first prototype for all and seventy two had already been made although it was heavier than his. predecessors it was also faster more powerful and more reliable and if you look closely at all for the present family resemblance to the german b.m.w. awesome see want as part of the lend lease program during world war two the us supplied the soviet union with over twenty six thousand hollies and seven thousand five hundred indians but russia needed the sole graded motorbike by nine hundred forty five the soviet union had produced almost ten thousand and seventy two which were used in the war effort before kicking down again into the civilian population . overall m seventy two was an exact copy of the b.m.w.

lost seventy one but the history of how this happened isn't clear one version of events suggests that germany gave russia a license to produce the os seven c one as part of a resource and technology exchange treaty the alternative is it gets more cloak and dagger in this one five bemis was secretly acquired by go betweens in neutral sweden and smuggled back into the country where they were reverse engineered by soviet specialists it's unlikely that evidence supporting either version still exists so you'll have to make up your own mind as to which one you prefer. today and having avoided any copyrights lawsuits the fighting in it bt still standing it's currently produces around twelve hundred units per year for diehard fans of the legendary bike around the world this year's lineup boasts six models including the m seventy chippie to the original that kickstarted the brand but no matter which one you choose they all have one thing in common. motorbike is

unique you didn't since it is currently the only bike in the world to come complete with a side car. and not just any old side car this is the polar side car has no power given that this was the motor bike to run on the open road as well as cross country and even overrode years in. interest inside cost effectively turned the soviet steed into a full two wheel drive vehicle and behind its ritual facade the steel side car can be fitted with modern comforts including a lady truck spare tire and plug sockets or even an ammo kind of stuff for the more adventurous types. the company also ships in components from specially supplies in countries such as germany japan austria and italy it's factory produces six bikes a day and has plans to boost production to meet demand from the new markets in new zealand china and the philippines the company's director and chief engineer both have or else and insist on testing out the latest innovations on their own bikes

research different areas when developing or powered side cars are used a differential drive like the kind they use in cars inexperienced drivers face difficulties when steering the motorbike due to differential drive specific design features and that's why we need the differential drive switchable so you can turn it on if you approach an obstacle and then turn it off once you've passed it will continue to explore this area in order to attract new customers by motorbike with a new inside car wheel is a rare thing. the roles versatility and carried to mean it seen action everywhere from the front line to the streets of hollywood the bikes rich history has been over seventy is the making and with a fact sheet in it it beats constantly updating and improving its range the history of the oral is far from over. that's the end of the first we'll see for more three realtek after the break.

there's a medium leave us so we leave the baby. by the seat cushions to the play your part of the physical. issues that no one is asking with to get that you deserve answers from it's all on politicking only on our team. to keep right on the same. search tree. and i think you're. on our reporters twitter. instagram. d n. a.

n o c n n the m s n b c news have taken some not slightly but the fact is i admire their commitment to cover all sides of the story just in case one of them happens to be accurate. that was funny but it's closer to the truth and might think. it's because when full attention and the mainstream media works side by side the joke is actually on here. at our team we have a different press. because the news of the world just is not this funny i'm not laughing damnit i'm not. good. at. you guys stick to the jokes well handled today except that i got.

i'm abby martin the stories we cover here we're not going to hear any right other big story after that while same time there's a reason they don't want you to now want to tell friends that we should all be completely outraged now let's break the set. welcome but as you can see the superbike insurance race is now well underway so let's find out how the students are getting on with the bikes and the security council. race to around twenty six thousand spectators who sets up come for the long haul ahead. out on the truck money machine

would being pushed to the limits in the opening hours that race. anything's possible in such a longer bans on the withdrawal of the leading insurance team in the early hours of the morning left the way wide open for the french team halmos was to take the trophy covering an impressive seven hundred twenty nine blocks. behind a pace life music a slower pace with teams and their crews enjoying some well deserved downtime. we are now i think always in for the superbike insurance race but i'm afraid that i can't enjoy listening to the track it's any longer locally there's a greener on silent alternative taking place right now. in the smart's moto insurance race the teams must complete twenty laps of the course covering ten point five kilometers. they should do ten laps solo and ten with a passenger and swap drivers halfway through the goal here is consistency not speed

so the time difference between the two drivers has to be as small as possible probably to stop teams from getting one of the professionals next door to three fold and. as you can see bikes and scooters are in demanded moscow isn't any petrol powered machine the environment is always a concern however that creates a nation the market for three new. bush and pits champion in two thousand and thirteen and has played an active part in promoting the sports in russia having reached the top of his game he's now looking for new ways to get his kicks pavel's found a new toy to play with but don't be fooled by. this mighty electric mini can hold its own against much larger petrol bikes as possible found out when he took it to the races. it's much easier to steer this motorbike because it's very light much lighter than bikes that run on petrol it's a big advantage we tried it out in the second stage of the russian pit by

championship i pulled away from my posts right from the start and then completed the first lap faster than anyone else i deliberately left the track after that because it was just a demonstration that i wanted to show people how powerful a small motor bike can be accelerate six dreamy fast and i don't think a petrol engine will ever be able to do anything like that it also only has one gear well with petrol motorbikes you need to change gear in every split second it takes you to change gear is important in a race so this gives you maximum possible acceleration it's amazing really one of a kind. that each bike is made in moscow by dell or the secrets behind its killer characteristics is all in the motor which despite just four point eight kilograms generates nine kilowatts of power which is then fed directly to the wheel the company also builds the frame the battery packs controller and software to go with it. the engines that are currently on the market surprised me because they

were also heavy webbing but not that powerful. so we made some prototypes. from the start we've made up our mind to use air cooling down which requires much fuel parts inside the engine but there's a fairly powerful air currents tells you that transfers heat from the hull components to the. word cools naturally by the wind. upwards moreover the efficiency of our engine is about ninety percent. generates much less heat anyway. however the electric bike house generated a lot of buzz so much so that della has already designed three models including two full sized motocross bikes and an urban version that's at the prototype stage. the first batch of one hundred days to this winter and has already been snapped up with a full sized model having a predicted range of two hundred kilometers on a single charge which costs between thirty five and seventy cents it's easy to see

why. it's no good having all these specs if the bike doesn't look the part so della got in touch with moscow based in just two design company for helping found the design is true of countless concepts from bike before they eventually agreed on the final version. it doesn't weigh a gram more than it has to be simply removed all the known load bearing parts and it. is also our original design which allows us to have high engine capacity and with small size and most importantly much light weight. even in this day and age computer models sometimes on sanofi to evaluate a design. so our top uses industrial plus to seem to bring the drawings to life and

gets the impression of the final product. after hours of sticking and pressing been most cross bike is beginning to take shape. has been riding bikes since he was a child and uses extensive experience to make sure that bike is practical as well as pretty the first rendering was a bit too wide a bulky butt. a few points is the right balance has been reached. the bikes on the block including the serial f.x. from california and also just k t m three right. the top spec f. x. has a one hundred thirty three kilometer range weighs one hundred twenty kilos and costs twelve thousand dollars to take a c.m. only of the hundreds a much smaller budget capacity given it's a runtime of between twenty to ninety minutes and costs thirteen thousand five hundred dollars when the dell is finished it's expected to be faster lighter and less than half the price. the inevitable rise in oil prices is only going to spark

on energy storage technology making it both more efficient and affordable and most the cheap bottleneck has been broken the bikes are going to go faster and further than ever before. it's the final day of the smarts moto competition right here in the hearts of boss alone or there's not much between the teams they still everything to go for in this final handling test. in this closing event of the smarts moto challenge it seems have to show off the maneuverability of the machines by weaving in and out of the cones just like in the insurance test consistency is key and it seems a penalize for every kohen they hit. meanwhile that you just took the opportunity to have a closer look at the innovative solutions used in the team's bikes during the design appraisal. the mummy team seemed to be doing pretty well in the dynamic tests and some was

fastest when pits and directly against that he bikes. are working. night by night and day by day maybe they. did something along the day they had a baby body of. smarts moto challenge to see. thousand and fourteen is now over and doesn't meet the final totals all the students can do is sit and wait. this year's winners with poland in ecuador with the people's friendship university of russia picking up a special prize for bravery mommy didn't receive anything so we caught up with emilio unpublished to find out what's happened. there but then you're in more school i was on. its design but well.

we made their money and see how do you like but. i was thinking it is not a model like damning that. the rules just say you have to create a small motor and i think they don't specify whether it should be a scooter or a full size motorbike only say it has to be a smart one and i would thought of. the new. technology because i'm sure the big rosie. if what. we're here at the moment but there are also technical tests of which we won every one and yet we still fail to qualify that's what is a complete mystery to us. well it wasn't meant to be this year but life goes on the mummy students may not have one in barcelona but they whomp want to deal with their sponsored universal motors they could see their bikes ride into mass production soon. to be free mushroom boats we like large cars

and large motor bikes that's why we've used the motorcycle riding position and design is the basis for our a bike concept. these bikes will go into mass production three and poor through fourth a couple of the bike parts will be produced according to our designs but we did receive them i mean if action facility is go into symbol the bikes. specific asians or end customers. so who knows perhaps the streets of moscow will be buzzing with the sound of the protons and neutrons electric motors some time soon. unlike this month's show the story of the bike is far from over and it looks like it's on the bright electric future so we'll see you next month until then enjoy the right.
