hello and welcome to technology updates the world cups over but if you think you've seen the end of countries going head to head in the heats think again because we can check out the national teams looking for racing glory in boss alone at. 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 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 and the universities are varying so 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 speeches from the uni competing in the formula students competition in germany held in the countries he story corps can hiring 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 sports

hasn't been unaffected by the shift towards electric power or 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. or 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. builtin nine hundred ninety one. 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 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 counseling and joints 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 this bike 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 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 four

arduous months of meticulously planning and modeling each note and well. once the team had settled on the final tech specs it was time to stop pushing against their . software helps the students measure twice and. having fully modeled in their frame and forks a virtual team knew exactly what's a 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 chips for the frame offering the optimal tradeoff between strength weights 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 not only structural elements but also for example

a lighter battery box made of composite materials and so on. should be made from high tech materials and carbon fiber offers the perfect way to short the structure . glistening blocks on an empty. seat the trick is to achieve the right balance between fibers and to make sure the saddle sits just right it seems clever use of compazine means that their electric motor cycle just the same as last year's eve by. up to nine months of blood sweat and tears all that remained for the money team to do was to put the finishing touches on their entry this year the rules of a small state have to use motorbike wheels and that he should be big enough for two people in addition to the standard motor control given to each team as well as making it even more difficult. 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 bike's body 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 region comes tensions building as the first round of scrutineer ing 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 the guys like me have two entries the 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 one meter thirty three centimeters the only slightly heavier and

longer than its teammate it's 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 the proton is titanium front forks are lighter and can be tuned much more finely than the neutrons it's hard to smooth let the rider seamlessly shift from one position to another whereas the neutron sacrifices freedom of movement for comfort. it's may seem like the calm before the storm but before these things a lot of this truck their bikes must be scrutinised for compliance with the competition rules and that's just the first hurdle that 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 is it seems have to prove that their rides a safe in the three under five meter front and back brake. it's the make to produce

on breeze 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 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 yes these failures into a success in a last ditch attempt to get through to the next round. after last night's drama and hours of head scratching the team money to locate and fix the faulty connection there 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 won in barcelona all

come from all over europe and so on there and make some noise like a broken. mom or dad and want to have your own offspring all of that will have. the overall is a cult classic it's retro design and distinctive side car 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 in the market 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 ta much the oral

mentioned the fight to hit its peak production of one hundred thirty thousand bikes per year around this time as well with the trunks 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 began right stay in moscow more than seventy years ago on the same year that germany invaded the soviet union shattering the until gresham part between the two countries the soviet union was forced to bump up production and upgraded planes tons of motorbikes. to fans to relay messages before the start of the war the first prototype for all n. 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 you'll also see present any resemblance to the german b.m.w. hossam see why. as part of the lend lease program during world war two the u.s.

supplied the soviet union with over twenty six thousand hollies and seven thousand five hundred indians but russia needed the zone of 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 . seventy two was an exact copy of the b.m.w. are 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 oss seventy 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 neutral 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

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 in the security council. race to around twenty six thousand spectators who sets the count for the long haul ahead. on the truck money machine would being pushed to the limits in the opening hours of the race. anything's possible in such a longer bend on the withdrawal of the leading insurance team in the early hours of the morning left a wave 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. think always in the superbike insurance race but i'm afraid that i can't enjoy listening to the track it's any longer look only 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 nice in the market for three new comer. bush hits by champion in two thousand and thirteen and has played an active part in promoting the sports in russia nothing beats 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 motorbike 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 of the. 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 you made some prototypes. from the start we've made up our mind to use air cooling down which requires much fewer parts so the engine is a fairly powerful air currents else that transfers heat from the components to.

actually buy the wind. boards. 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 other models including two full sized motocross bikes and an urban version is at the prototype stage. the first batch of one hundred days to this winter and has already been snapped up with a 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 hope for

a helping hand the designers drew up countless concepts for a motor 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. even in this day and age computer models sometimes onsen not fully 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 in 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 but after a few. has the right balance had been reached. there all the bikes on the block including the serial f.x. from california and also just k t m three right in 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 light 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 under fordable and most the but cheap bottleneck has been 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 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 if 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 a 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 some was fastest when pits and directly against all 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 two

thousand and forty. does emilio 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 mummy didn't receive anything so we caught up with emilio unpublished to find out what happened. to that in most schools i was on. its design but well. he made me and see how do you like. i think it is not a model like what 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 motorbike only say it has to be

a smart one and i would thought of. the new. technology because i'm sure the big rosy. it was. well 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 one in barcelona but they hop on a deal with this sponsored universal motors they could see their bikes ride into mass production series. three 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 and poor through for the growth of the bike parts will be produced according to our designs but we did

receive them i mean affection facility has got into symbol the bikes to me this visit. patients or 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. unlike 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. we chase profits very large very attractive and now very globally recognized source of oil for the world and into the future the world's odd cheapest and best petroleum deposits have been mined out we have to use more energy to get this

energy industries grow like a cancer each of the squares ten kilometers where. and this whole area is slated for the plane that's her drinking water that's our wildlife service that's our fisheries we can't stop this is the end game when it takes a true tons of sand to make one barrel of oil you know here at the bottom and that's where. we chill ourselves. you surely know where you.
