Great Chüy Canal. The Great Chüy Canal (, [], , often abbreviated БЧК) is one of an extensive complex of irrigation canals of the Chüy Valley in Kyrgyzstan and to some extent Kazakhstan, composed of three branches: the Western Great Chüy Canal, the Eastern Great Chüy Canal, and the Southern Great Chüy Canal.  The Great Chüy Canal flows through the northern part of Bishkek, the capital of Kyrgyzstan, from east to west.  It was built under the administration of the Soviet Union, with M. V. Patrushev as authoring engineer.

Thirty-three thousand individuals took part in building the canal, mainly using pickaxes and shovels (as opposed to heavy machinery), and it remains in collective consciousness in Kyrgyzstan as a major building project of the 20th century. A record was set in on June 16, 1941, as kolkhoz workers dug 90 cubic meters of dirt by hand.

Western Great Chüy Canal 
The Western Great Chüy Canal is the longest irrigation canal in Kyrgyzstan. It begins from the river Chüy naer the village Gidrostroitel, about 8 km east of Ivanovka.  It flows from east to west across the entire Chüy Valley, passing along the cities Kant, Bishkek, Shopokov, Belovodskoye and Kara-Balta before entering Kazakhstan, where it ends near Merki.  The entire length of the canal is 145 km, and it irrigates an area of 82 thousand hectares.  The regular rate of water flow at the head of the canal is 43 cubic meters per second, and it can support an excess capacity of 55 meters per second.  Construction of the canal began in 1940.

Eastern Great Chüy Canal 
The Eastern Great Chüy Canal was built in 1958.  The canal flows along the Chüy Valley from east to west parallel to and south of the Western Great Chüy Canal. It starts from the upper river Chüy near the village of Chym-Korgon, about 40 km upriver of the headworks of the Western Great Chüy Canal. It flows south of Tokmok and Ivanovka, and discharges into the Ala-Archa in Bishkek. The headgates are rated for a water throughput of 350 cubic meters per second.  Its entire length is 100 km, and irrigates an area of 41.5 thousand hectares.

Southern Great Chüy Canal 
Construction on the Southern Great Chüy Canal began in 1976.  It begins from the river Ysyk-Ata (at the village of Yuryevka) and runs along the southern edge of Bishkek, intersecting the river Alamüdün, and ending in the Ala-Archa in Orto-Say, south of Bishkek.  Its entire length stretches 158 km, and it is designed to irrigate 3000 hectares of land.  Waterflow at the headgates is 90 cubic meters per second.  Construction on the canal continues around Valeriy Kritsanov Village.

Electric Bob. Electric Bob is a fictional science fiction dime novel character created by Robert T. Toombs. In the strips, Electric Bob's real name is Robert Morse and he is depicted as a descendant of a telegraph inventor named Samuel. He appears in a series of five novels in New York Five Cent Library published by Street & Smith. The character Electric Bob was a 10-year-old engineering genius and wealthy from inheritance. He is in the mold of boy inventors Frank Reade and Jack Wright, although not nearly as popular. The author's name is believed to be a pseudonym and little is known about who was behind the strip.

Electric Bob appeared in five novels beginning with "Electric Bob and His White Alligator" in issue 50, July 22, 1893. His inventions include an amphibious mechanical alligator, a flying hawk, a giant ostrich, a camel and a submarine.

Airmail Pilot. Airmail Pilot is a video game published in 1979 by Instant Software, in which the player pilots a Curtiss JN-4D "Jenny" biplane carrying mail from Columbus, Ohio to Chicago.

Gameplay

The game begins with an advertisement attributed to an 18 July 1922 issue of the Chicago Sun which reads: "Wanted: Airmail pilot for the Columbus to Chicago run. Must be willing to fly in every type of weather. Only the foolhardy need apply." The player pilots a Curtiss JN-4D "Jenny" biplane carrying mail from Columbus, Ohio to Chicago, via Dayton, Indianapolis, and Logansport.

Reception
Bruce Campbell reviewed Airmail Pilot in The Space Gamer No. 36. Campbell commented that "If you are looking for a realistic airflight simulation, Airmail Pilot is not for you. Since its price is on the lower end of the software spectrum, I do recommend it for those looking for a quick, easy, enjoyable game with limited staying power." Another reviewer from Moves commented, "It can be fun and amusing, but it is not designed to hold an adult's attention for very long."

K-dron. A k-dron is an eleventh-degree polyhedron discovered by Janusz Kapusta in 1985. The name k-dron is a combination of the word (h)edron () and the letter k which is the eleventh letter of the Latin alphabet.

History 
The shape was invented during the preparation for an exhibition by Janusz Kapusta and his colleague in a New York gallery. After printing the leaflets promoting the exhibition, which featured the image of two squares typed one in the other, Janusz Kapusta fell into the spatial form, on the basis of which he then made a spatial model of the solid.

The k-dron consists of a k-dron surface, which is a rhombus with attached right triangles and a square base. Two k-drons placed tops together forms a cube. Professor Janusz Łysko (Widener University in Pennsylvania ) gave the pattern features two variables that graphs the upper surface of a k-dron within the bounds of −1 ≤ x ≤ 1 and −1 ≤ y ≤ 1, namely:

 

K-dron systems can be arranged a great many different ways, creating a great variety of light and shadow patterns. As the angle of incidence changes, new patterns are created.

It is used for the design of façades of buildings, toys, games, jewelry, and even car hoods. There are an extreme variety of applications for this body – Janusz Kapusta described 50 applications in his book, and in April 2001 he stated he already found 168.

In 2009 the k-dron monument was erected before the building of the county seat in Koło.

Lamborghini Terzo Millennio. The Lamborghini Terzo Millennio (Italian for Third Millennium) is a futuristic electric concept car introduced by Italian automobile manufacturer Lamborghini and developed in collaboration with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). It is the first product of a three-year, £100,000,000 partnership among the two institutions. The Terzo Millennio was unveiled in November 2017 at the EmTech conference in Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States.

Overview 

The design of the Terzo Millennio is considered part of the "Gandini Line" and is the work of Lamborghini chief designer Mitja Borkert and the company's Centro Stile department. The vehicle's technology was developed by Lamborghini's professional engineers and  MIT's professors and students, and was unveiled at the EmTech conference in Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States. Lamborghini's chief technical officer, Maurizio Reggiani stated that the car is more of a "thinking box" than an actual production car. He also stressed that the car does not suggest that the company will be producing vehicles powered solely by electricity.

The Terzo Millennio was also used as a representative for the sports cars of the future.

Vehicle information

Electric motor 
The Terzo Millennio uses high-capacity supercapacitors in lieu of batteries, due to their more rapid storage and discharge of energy. These supercapacitors have been made to simultaneously capture and release energy to give the car an increase in performance, without having to depend on chemical reactions. Each wheel, the rims of which glow orange, contains an electric motor, so that the amount of torque can be controlled individually, making the car's stability as good as a modern Formula One car. Because there is a motor on every wheel, the car's layout would be all-wheel drive if it was functional.

Autonomous capabilities 
The Terzo Millennio is reported to have an autonomous system, but only for racetrack driving. This system would make the car run a full lap without any mistakes, then teach the driver how to run the lap on their own, using a ghost car, which is based on video game series such as Forza and Gran Turismo.

Design and body 

The car still inherits the modern Lamborghini design, with the Y-shaped design elements such as the headlights and taillights, along with the triangular front trunk and rear engine bay.

Carbon fiber is used entirely for the body panels. The body of the car is monitored by a health system. Entry by passengers is via a sliding canopy.
Lamborghini Terzo Millennio has a height of 1143 mm (45 inches).

Aviomania. Aviomania Aircraft (usually called just Aviomania) is a Cypriot aircraft manufacturer based in Larnaca and founded by Nicolas Karaolides. The company specializes in the design and manufacture of autogyros in the form of kits for amateur construction and ready-to-fly aircraft.

The company describes itself as "the largest ultralight aircraft manufacturer in Cyprus".

Karaolides became a licensed pilot in 1983 and holds degrees in aircraft engineering and electronics. He designed the company's autogyros and also conducted the test flying of the types.

The company initially built the single-seat Rotax 582-powered Aviomania G1SA Genesis Solo autogyro and its two-seat derivative, the Rotax 914-powered Aviomania G2SA Genesis Duo. The G1SA was replaced in production by the enclosed-cockpit Aviomania G1sE Genesis Sport and the open-cockpit Aviomania G1sB Genesis CE models. The company also sells the Best Off Nynja fixed-wing ultralight aircraft.

In a 2015 review, Werner Pfaendler praised the company's design efforts on the G1SE, saying that it, "has been designed with stability and agility in mind. The centre line thrust and the design of the empennage in the propeller slipstream reduces all throttle reactions. The result is a fun machine which is very stable in flight while being very agile and maneuverable."

VertiGo. VertiGo is a remotely controlled wheeled robot that can climb walls by using two 360° tiltable propellers that produce thrust angled both upwards and against the wall surface. It can roll horizontally up to a vertical wall, and then transition to climbing by coordinated changes in the propeller direction and thrust and the wheel traction. The VertiGo project is a collaboration between researchers of ETH Zurich and Disney Research Zurich. The VertiGo's chassis is a central carbon fiber baseplate. It has 3-D printed joints and wheel suspension parts that vary the propeller thrust and vehicle weight distribution.
