TOP FIVE RECENT DEVELOPMENT IN MECHANICAL ENGINEERING

1.)First turbine-powered street legal motorcycle -MTT Y2K SUPERBIKE

It’s the Most powerful production bike in the world which runs on diesel with kerosene. It has Rolls Royce-Allison gas turbine engine which produces 420 HP with 678 NM torque. 2-speed automatic transmission transfers excellent power, the top speed is more than 440 kph, weighs 230 kg. The design is great and fabricated from solid billets. It obtained Guinness World Record as the most expensive production motorcycle.

2.)Car engine - most powerful up to now 

The Devel Sixteen V16 Hyper-car - The custom made the real most powerful engine in the world is Devel Sixteen V16 Hyper-car which has 5000-hp, Quad-Turbo, 12.3-Liter V16. this is craziest power ever which has red-line of 8000 - hp. It is first revealed in Dubai Motor show, it reaches PS 0-60 in 1.8 seconds, and a top speed nearing 350 mph.

3.)Toyota launches first mass-market fuel cell car - Mirai, which converts hydrogen into electricity and emits nothing but water drops. It’s going to be the breakthrough in future for other vehicles like Forklifts, trucks, buses.

4.)Self driving Car

Google’s self driving car is almost driver less(manual assist needs in some dangerous turns) with start and stop option and which uses chauffeur system. The LIDAR(combined SONAR and RADAR) technology with Google map works in a precision manner. It uses 64 typical laser beams to find the objects around the car (360 degree). Cost of this system is around US $ 1 lakh. Accuracy, precision is more in this system which enables pre safe. Top speed is 40 kph.

5.)3D printing Technology

3D- printed steam turbine turbo-machinery used to convert Seawater into drinking water which was developed by GE.

Miniaturized Turbine used to compress and stream a mixture of air, salt and water through a hyper-cooling loop that freezes seawater. By freezing the mixture, the salt naturally separates in solid form, leaving just the ice. The ice is then melted, leaving clean water.
