FASTEST WIND-POWERED VEHICLE

Hi friends ..it was Sunday morning and as usual woke up late ,i finished my activities and started reading the newspaper with a cup of coffee.while I was going through the newspaper ,I found this article,which amazed me .i thought , that I should share this information with others.
A British engineer has smashed the world land speed record for wind powered vehicle,becoming the fastest naturally powered human on the planet.Richard Jenkins clocked 126.1 mph in Greenbird,harnessing winds of just 30mph in the futuristic vehicle.


The Greenbird that resembles a stretched missile with a giant fin,set the top speed on the dry bed of lake Ivanpah on the border of California and Nevada in the u.s.The team beat the previous American-held record of 116 mph,which was set by Bob Schumacher in the iron duck almost 10 years ago to the day at the same location.The fifth Generation Greenbird,which Jenkins designed and built on his 10 year quest to beat the record ,uses a combination of technology found in aircraft and Fomula 1 cars.
“ it has been a incredibly difficult challenge” he said.” Half the challenge is technical,having to create a more efficient vehicle than the previous record holder and then the rest is luck,being in the right place ,at the right time,with the right people watching”.i think this was an interesting information and I also think there will be an another one to beat this Beast…

DHONI-ARROGANCE AT ITS BEST

it was the third odi between india and newzealand...sachin scored a brilliant 163*....and there was this spectacular moment in the match when dhoni smashes grant elliot into the stands...the beauty is that he doesn't look the ball after he hits it...he looks at the wicket untill it reaches the stands and then looks whether it has cleared the ropes...i think this was arrogtance at its best...he did it as if he wanted that delivery to be smashed for six...

GET TO KNOW THEM

As a child we grow,all of us have been wanting to know the facts about galaxy ,space and so on .and this universe is quiet riddled with galaxies.our universe is 14 billion years old. Galaxies are composed of dust, gas and countless stars and which have less than a billion stars are considered small galaxies .Each of the galaxies would have 100-200 billion stars circling within,and the age of the oldest star in the galaxy is said to be about 13.2 billion years .
In fact all galaxies including ours is going outward at a speed which is getting a little faster every year .The speed of an arm of galaxy is about 140 miles a second but perhaps in a billion more years our galaxy would be travelling about 1000 miles per second.
When you look up[ at the night sky you see stars and almost every point of light that you see is one of the 100 billion stars floating with us within the milky way galaxy.The galaxy is moving like a Frisbee disc while it is spinning .
For the solar system to complete one orbit around the galaxy takes as many as 225 to 259 million years .This is referred as the galactic year .

SIZZLING SEH"WHACK"

daniel vettori has said that he hates sehwag...not because of any personal rivalry but because the way sehwag goes about his batting..vettori's hatredness for sehwag was justified today as he went hammers and tonks on the kiwi bowlers..he just blasted his way to a 73 ball 125 and on the way he became the fastest indian to score a century..he reached the landmark in just 60 balls...he has this unique way of reaching milestone with sixes..the innings was full of arrogance and no mercy for the kiwi bowlers..the smaller grounds made it worse for new zealand...gautham gambhir too played a crucial and solid unbeaten 65 but it completely overshadowed by the nawab of najafgarh....this victory means that india win their one day series in newzealand...way to go boys...
