Sheesh, when the mayor is in on the looting, what chance do you have? Maybe we should send them Masondo. At least he doesn't loot in public.

TNT1 Posted August 16, 2011 Share Cops 'n Robbers? Johannesburg - Members of the police’s flying squad in Mbombela have been robbed of their weapons by a gang who wore police uniforms. The gang of six robbers, some of whom also wore Sars uniforms, walked into the Rong Qiang Store in Anderson Street at about 15:00 on Sunday. The flying squad officers had visited the shop minutes beforehand to buy a flashlight. The robbers, armed with handguns and an R5 assault rifle, held up the shop owner and his staff under the pretext that they wanted to investigate their residency permits. The shop owner called the flying squad officers who had just been to the shop when he was ordered by the robbers to fetch the passports. The robbers then fled with R48 000, cellphones and the security camera recorder. Two of them drove off in a Ford Territory. When the flying squad arrived, the four other robbers jumped out of a white Nissan Almera, which was parked in front of the shop, and held up the officers. The robbers stole service pistols and an R5 rifle from the policemen and cut the microphone cable of the police car before fleeing. No one was injured. Police spokesperson Lieutenant Colonel Leonard Hlathi said on Monday that a charge of armed robbery is being investigated.

TNT1 Posted August 16, 2011 Share A student at the University of Engineering and Technology Lahore in Pakistan has designed, built, and driven a solar-powered vehicle - all in 18 days. http://www.wattwatt.com/media/users/642/images/solar_bike_2854779_rect.jpgFarrukh Khan built his three-wheeler Solaron trike using parts from an old bike and a 40-watt photovoltaic canopy that charges the onboard 12v/80Ah dry cell solar battery. The whole project cost Khan less than $600 - far less than most alternative-fuel vehicles available elsewhere. Khan claims that the Solaron can achieve a top speed of around 30 kph (20 mph) with a range of 70 km on a single charge. Designed and built in just 18 days at the University of Engineering and Technology Lahore in Pakistan, 7 x 3.5 x 4.5 ft (2.13 x 1.06 x 1.37 meter), 132 pound (60 kg) low-rider features a custom built, t-shaped aluminum framework at the front of the vehicle, and the back part of an old bicycle frame at the rear, joined just behind the seating area to shock absorbers. The reverse three-wheeler - with two wheels at the front and one at the rear - also has a 40 watt photovoltaic canopy above the rider that charges the onboard 12v/80Ah dry cell solar battery. An eco-friendly vehicle that uses solar energy as its source of input. A solar panel is used to charge the battery and the battery drives the dc motor.Its a vehicle that uses reverse trike configuration, i-e two front wheels and a single wheel on the rear side. Steering is done with the help of front wheels. It also consists of a solar panel, Battery and a dc motor. COMPONENTS: ChassisSolar PanelMotorBatterySteering MechanismChain and sprocket mechanismCharging circuit CONFIGURATION: Length: 7ftWidth: 3.5ftHeight: 4.5ftWeight: aprox~ 60kgMotor: 24Volts DC, 17AmpBattery: 12Volts, 80AHMaterials: Aluminum, Steel and Cast Iron Material Quantity Cost (Rupees)Aluminum Sections(2’’ x 1’’) 12ft length2 ...................................................2500Aluminum Plates 2 .......................500Steering Parts (hinges) 2 ...........150Solar Panel 1 .............................12000DC Motor 1 .................................7500Battery 1 .....................................8000Tire set 3 ....................................2400Brake set 1 ................................100Iron Plates 7’’ x 4’’ 2 .................300Iron Plate 3’’ x 3’’ 2 ......................150U shaped Iron Sections 4 ..........500Aluminum Sections for Solar Panel length 6.5ft 2 .............600Sprockets 2 .....................500Handle 1 ..................100Seat 1 .......................550Cycle Chain 1 ..........................400Chassis Rear Section 1 .....................1000Nuts bolts washers and miscellaneous - ............2120Labor Cost - ....................................7300TOTAL COST - 46670/- Rupees (APPROX ~550 USD) Edited August 16, 2011 by TNT1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
