A VIEW to die for?
A skeleton has been found on top of a ladder enjoying the view at Sydney’s Bondi beach. Rather than a macabre murder mystery, the skeleton is in fact part of the Sculptures by the Sea exhibition currently taking place between Sydney’s Tamarama beach and Bondi over a 2km costal walk, and featuring over 100 sculptures.
NEW school ambulance?
It dosen’t look pretty, or even aerodynamic for that matter, but the new e-volvo Multicopter successfully took flight recently. Boasting 16 propellers, the e-volvo’s maiden flight lasted just one minute and thirty seconds, but is being billed as the beginning of a transport revolution. Designers of the Multicopter have high hopes for their baby, saying it will be used for leisure activities such as sightseeing, as an ‘air taxi’ and even as an air ambulance. The e-volvo mounts its 16 propellers to a rigid frame so that it takes off in a manner similar to a helicopter, with the propellors creating full lift and balancing the craft by independent speed controls. An onboard computer controls altitude and direction, whilst the chopper is piloted via a joystick.
