hello and welcome to technology updates the world cup's overvotes 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 boss alona but first glance the catalonian capital seems more touristy than tacky but it 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 the electric bikes against each other over a four grueling days and last year participants were left eating the dust from bush's make one. name just to make

a ons famous make one fighter the bike was designed and built by the moscow state university of mechanical engineering also known as mommy under the university's jungians are varying to use the theory from the classroom to cut their teeth out on the track. back in two thousand and ten take up sneak levy followed another team of students pieces from the uni competing in the formula students competition in germany held in the countries he story. 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 the people become more aware of environmental issues so that everyone realizes that we only have one planet and we have to look after it. built in one thousand nine hundred ninety one the sick kids to cut saloon you has played host to some of the world's most prestigious racing events and it's sixteen turns over four point five klicks provide a formidable challenge for cars and bikes the line. this month the track was a hive of activity is big name teams tweaks and superbikes ready for the twenty to twenty four hour council 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 styled motor bike with only the same headlights as last year's . has more in common with this complex chain engine cousins next door. mommy's journey to barcelona started the parts of a year ago. 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 pushing and get.

software helps the students measure twice and. having fully modeled in stress tests of their frame and forks virtually knew exactly what to build and how it's a tough 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 chips for the frame offering the optimal tradeoff between strength weight and cost. but like anything the finished product is only as good as its components parts. 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 shore up the structure. glistening black

strands on an empty. seat the trick is to achieve the right balance between fibers and to make sure the saddle sits just right the team's clever use of compazine means that their electric motorcycle weighs just the same as last year's eve bike. up to nine months of blood sweat and tears all that remain for the money. 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 given so each team does what is 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 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 company tensions building as the first round of scrutineer in approaches the team is told through the night in a race against time to get step bikes ready. all the teams have been briefed and then now in his hardest were preparing their bikes for soft couple of days ahead this year the guys like me have two entries a more casual meet 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 motor battery and onboard controller but that's about where the similarities end weighing in it's forty three kilos and with a wheel base of thirty three centimeters the proton is slightly heavier and longer than its teammate its rigid frame and swing arm built for speed and require a skilled rider while the neutron slightly springy frame makes it more of an easy rider to protons titanium front forks a lighter and can be 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 may seem like the calm before the storm but before these teams allow this truck their bikes must be scrutinised for compliance with the competition rules and that's just the first hurdle that also an acceleration enjoyments handling and even their business plan all of which will go to. 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 security council in your truck is it seems have to prove that their rides a safe in the three under five metre front and back brake tests to produce one breeze the test 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.

failures mean you could miss a whole day of the competition not as a result you could miss out on a few test 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 yes these failures into a 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 everyone else done to be one of the above the load of all the come from all over europe and so on there and make some noise but it might have broken the bike and mom dad and were to have an old opera all of that

will have. the overall is a cult classic its retro design and distinctive sized cars have stood the test of time looking just as good today as they did when they first hit the roads 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 aural tourist three years ago during mcgregor 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 oral is the chopper of choice of the night falls pack leader alexander result a stand of 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 that 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 that's. 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 is built around an old brewery control does more than seven hundred thousand of the three wheelers whose affordability made them a popular alternative to the car and strong demand for the overall 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 trikes been 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 become rights in moscow more than seventy years ago on the same year that germany invaded the soviet union shattering the unsee aggression pact between the two countries the soviet union was forced to bump up production of greatest things in terms of motorbikes the scallop defense for relaying messages. on 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. seventy one parts 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 need to be so great at 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. the oral m. seventy two was an exact copy of the b.m.w. our 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 between sweden and smuggled back into the country where they 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 beats is 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. a motor bike is unique 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 is no power driven sport which enables the motor bike to run on the open road when it is. well this cross country even overrode the. interest inside cost effectively turned the soviet steed into a full two wheel drive vehicle and behind this ritual facade the steel side car can be fitted with modern comforts including a little spare tire and plug sockets even and for the more adventurous types. the company also ships in components from specially supplies in countries such as germany japan austria and italy. produces six bikes

of the oral is far from over. that's the end of the first we'll see from all three realtek after the break. well you like me you want your comedy news with some t want your comedy news to be a bare fisted no holds barred fight to the dad. but the truth vampire fighting into the necks of the corporate elite and the billionaire freaks while they're going. well that's what you get with my new show project of the night. overbite. did you know the price is the only industry specifically mention in the constitution and. that's because

a free and open press is critical to our democracy shred albus. in fact the single biggest threat facing our nation today is the corporate takeover of our government and out across several we've been hijacked why a handful of transnational corporations will profit by destroying what our founding fathers once told us i'm tom hartman and on this show we reveal the big picture of what's actually going on in the world we go beyond identifying the problem try rational debate and a real discussion critical issues facing america have on camera go ready to join the movement then walk a little bit take. your friend post a photo from a vacation you can't afford. the different. the boss

anything's possible in such a longer bens on the withdrawal of the leading loop 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 in their crews enjoying some well deserved downtime. always in 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 them. as you can see bikes and scooters are in demanded moscow isn't any petrol powered machine the environment is always a concern over there creates a mishna market for three new comers. possibility was a bush and pits bike champion in two thousand and thirteen and has played an active part in promoting the sport's ingrassia having reached the top of his game he's now looking for new ways to get his kicks puzzles found a new toy to play with but don't be fooled by sally's this mighty electric mini can hold its own against much logic petrol bikes as possible found out when he took it to the races. it's much easier to steer this motor bike 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. the easy bike is made in moscow by della the secrets behind its killer characteristics is all in the motor which despite swing just four point eight kilograms generates nine kilowatts of power which is then fed directly to the wheel the company also builds the frame battery packs controller and software to go with it. the engines that are currently on the market surprised me because they were also heavy but not that powerful. so they made some prototypes. to start with

made up our minds to use air cooling down which requires much fewer parts inside the engine but there's a fairly powerful air currents else that transfers heat from the hull components to the. word cools naturally by the wind. moreover the efficiency of our engine is about ninety percent. generates much less heat anyway. however the electric bike has generated a lot of buzz so much so that dell has already designed three other models including two full sized motocross bikes and an urban version that's at the prototype stage. the first batch of one hundred is to this winter and has already been snapped up. with the full sized urban 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 top specs if the bike doesn't look the part so della got in touch with moscow based in just to design company for helping. the designers drew up countless concepts from cross styled 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 lightweight long. even in this day and age computer models sometimes on sanofi to evaluate the design. so also pieces 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 used his extensive experience to make sure that bike is practical as well as pretty the first rendering was a bit too wide to bulky but after a few points is the right balance had been reached. the bikes on the block including the zero f.x. from california and also just k.t. m. free ride. the top spec ethics 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 giving 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 spot on energy storage technology making it both more efficient under fordable and most

the but cheap broken e-books 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 and 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 the teams are penalized for every kohen they hit or miss. meanwhile the church took the opportunity to have a closer look at the innovative solutions used in the team's bikes during the design appraisal. the money team seemed to be doing pretty well in the dynamic tests and the proton was fastest when pits him directly against all that he bikes. for

working. night by night and day by day maybe they. did something along the day they had a very very. smart moto challenge two thousand and fourteen is now over and doesn't mean 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. didn't receive anything so we caught up with emilio and public to find out what's happened. to live in moscow. i was wrong on. its design but well. he made me and see how do you like but so learn a. village are sinking into. a model why on examine. 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 motor bike 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 money students may not have won 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 thing in peru or through for the growth of the bike forests will be produced according to our designs but we did receive them but i mean affection facility is going to symbol the bikes to me the specific asians or end customers or. so who knows perhaps the streets of moscow will be buzzing with the sound of the protons and neutrons electric motors some time soon. on like this one 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 ride.

i marinate join me. in that impartial and financial commentary for news and much much. only on the bus and only. i'm the president and i'm a society i'm big corporation trying to convince to consume consume can do i'm the bag right all that all about money and i'm actually sick for a politician writing the laws and regulations to tax the bankers. there is just too much. today society. that.

it's a classic. over but. did you know the price is the only industry specifically mention in the constitution which says that's because a free and open press is critical to our democracy attract all books. will. never go on. and on this show we reveal the big picture of what's actually going on will we go beyond identifying the problem to try to fix rational debate a real discussion critical issues facing america about the book go ready and join the movement then welcome to the big picture.
