Honda Unveils new 400cc Engine

Honda showcased its latest 400cc parallel-twin motor which has been developed specifically for Asian markets and there is a high likelihood of it heading our shores

Honda unveiled its latest 400cc, liquid-cooled, parallel twin engine in Japan. The engine isn’t a specially developed unit but a tuned-down version of the 470cc engine which is seen powering the CBR500R/CB500F/CB500X. The motor has been specially developed for JDM and Southeast Asian markets where 400cc is an important tier to adapt the various licensing regulations. Well, one might think what difference does that make for the Indian consumer but we feel the 400cc will make its way to our country the way the Ducati Monster 795 which was developed for ASEAN-markets.

Scientists Generate Electricity Using Human Brain!

The topic is as interesting as the title. After decades of effort, Scientists have devised a way to generate electricity from brain. Researchers from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have designed an implantable fuel cell that can generate electricity from a fluid around the brain (cerebrospinal fluid). The result of the experiment was a success since it produced a few hundred microwatts of power from glucose within the cerebrospinal fluid. No adverse physiological effects have been reported so far. This small amount of generated power is of course not enough to run a small fan or any small appliance. But the inventors are not thinking of utilizing this energy to power the appliances. Instead, scientists have planned to make use of this energy in bio-medical field. The amount of electricity produced is enough to power the latest, futuristic and highly efficient brain implants that can help the paralyzed patients to move their limbs.
