Mercedes-Benz Hexawheel Concept - Off-roading gets a new meaning

By -






The Hexawheel concept is a design study of an extreme off-road vehicle which combines a six-wheels layout and a flexible frame with a Mercedes-Benz-inspired design language. It was designed by Iranian engineer Siyamak Rouhi Dehkordi.

Created by Iranian mechanical engineer Siyamak Rouhi Dehkordi, the Hexawheel Concept is an extreme three-seater off-roader targeted to adventurous customers and people who need to move in extremely diffficult conditions and terrains.

Inspired by the jointed structure of insects, the Hexawheel is capable of overcoming large obstacles thanks to its flexible frame, which is combined with a six-wheels layout and an all-wheel-drive system.

The frame has two degrees of freedom and is operated with a hydraulic system; the diesel engine is coupled with a flexible hydraulic power transmission system.

Th main dimensions are a total length of 4.8 meters, two equal wheelbases of 0.95 meters and a ground clearance of 46 cm, while the weight is equally distributed among the three axles.

The exterior design uses angular shapes and an industrial look, interpreted for the Mercedes-Benz brand.

The Siemens story so far

By -

Although markets have been very choppy over the past few trading sessions one stock which has been gaining highly is Siemens. I have been tracking this scrip for just over a year now. A year back it was trading at around Rs.200 levels. The stock has been gradually moving up over the period of past one year. Infact, towards the middle of last year the stock suddenly broke loose from Rs.300 levels and gained around Rs. 100-150 within a period of seven days to touch Rs.500 levels for the first time. This was followed by some profit taking which led to this scrip correcting a bit. But Siemens gradually kept moving upwards along with the sensex and nifty through the rest of 2009. This company is fundamentally strong and does not get affected so easily by market movements. So far in 2010 it has had a good run and has hit the 52 week high today. To put things into perspective Siemens has grown well over 200% in just over one year. Having said that I think there shall be a bit of profit takin…

Blood Stone Language Fix

There is a problem if you buy a cracked copy of Bloodstone, the latest James Bond Game -its fairly old, but what the heck!. Guess what? It runs, but the language is in Russian and even the subtitles and also the game options, so it becomes mighty hard to even get to the game- screen and play.
What's the fix.
Its damn simple.
1. Go to the lanugages.txt and change it from \'ru,en\' to \'en,ru\ 2. Rename (audio_ru.pak) Change To (audio_en.pak)( Location - cache folder) The audio will remain in Russian, but the game menu will change to English, so the best you can do is change the subtitles to English and play the game. Otherwise, if you are dying to hear Daniel Craig's voice, support the developers and buy the game.

Sovereign Debt is the new face of Sub Prime this year.

It does not matter whether the ECB or the EU decides to bailout Greece or not. What matters to the Indian Markets when they open tomorrow is that the Dow Jones closed on a very happy note. Infact the benchmark index witnessed it's biggest gains in today's trading session since November 2009. So the Indian Markets will definitely open on a positive note tomorrow morning and I feel they will move up quickly to make up for the downside seen in the past few sessions of trade. The nifty might just gain another 50 to 100 odd points tomorrow. Metal stocks likely to lead the pack of gainers. But what I feel is that this sudden up-move could just be another one off incident and that the US as well as the world markets may correct further in time to come, due to the changing economic scenario in the European Union. Greece could only be the first one to fall in the EU. There are other nations which will follow suit. This is most worrying in this whole scenario. When banks falter Central …
