The tiny Arab nation of Dubai has granted permission to the German company Volocopter to conduct a five-year test of its electric flying taxis in the country. The air taxi, made from carbon fibers, weighs less than 1,000 pounds and looks like a giant drone. It has nine batteries powering 18 rotors. The batteries can...

As desperate as some of us are to fly over urban traffic gridlock, flying taxis will remain a pricey specialty service. It will be years, perhaps decades, before artificial intelligence can evolve a system of air-traffic control for autonomous aircraft. Also, the ungainly design of the taxis will limit the number that can be airborne...

Charging electric cars without stopping?
What if electric cars could be charged on the go, never needing to stop to refuel? That’s the implication of technology created by Stanford University engineers. The group transmitted electricity across a 3-foot distance to a moving object. The technology involves magnetic resonance coupling, in which an electrical current in one set of wires creates...

Wireless recharging of batteries in electric cars, or robots, will give mobile machines far more range and will upset the battery industry, which has emerged as a key industry for future technologies. However, it’s likely to take decades for Stanford’s invention, or something like it, to pop up along roadways.

Parkinson’s? Data mining may diagnose it
At the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, researchers were able to predict with up to 83 percent accuracy whether a person would develop Parkinson’s Disease just by looking at an individual’s medical history. Before Parkinson’s is diagnosed, a person usually comes to the doctor with complaints about tremors, posture problems and...

Mining water from the oceans
More than 40 percent of the world’s people face water shortages, and that number will rise in the years ahead, the United Nations says. Oceans are a source of clean water. Saudi Arabia and other nations have been withdrawing water from the seas and purifying it for human use by forcing the water through a...

The JFK files: What Gov. Connally told Celente that every American should know
It is the 56 anniversary of the assassination of John F. Kennedy. Not a story about it in the major media…New York Times, Wall Street Journal, CNN, etc. Also forgotten was President Trump’s broken promise to release all the confidential files of John F. Kennedy’s assassination by 26 April 2018. Here is the inside story...
