Kepler Motors Motion – Click above for high-res image gallery

It’s hard not to be skeptical when a company that no one has ever heard of announces a brand-new supercar. A few have managed to last more than a few years, like Koenigsegg and Pagani, but most seem to disappear just as quickly as they appear. Russ Wicks, founder and CEO of Kepler Motors, is evidently undaunted by the statistics and is launching his new supercar, the Motion, this week at the Dubai International Motor Show.

To their credit, Kepler Motors seems to have all right pieces to the puzzle. The Motion features all the makings of a 21st century supercar like a carbon fiber composite monocoque chassis and body, active suspension and aerodynamics, and a seven-speed sequential transaxle. The all-important horsepower rating is an impressive 800 thanks to the combination of a modified Ford 3.5-liter twin-turbo EcoBoost V6 that drives the rear wheels and a 250 hp electric motor that sends power to the front. Yes, it’s a hybrid.

While we remain skeptical, we wish Kepler Motors the best of luck. They will surely have their hands full filling their proposed production limit of 50 cars that are set to be delivered to customers at the start of 2011. We will be sure to bring you any updates regarding the supercar startup, but until then check out the gallery below or read more about the Motion in the press release after the jump.

Kenya, Africa | Geological Oddities

When the Kitum cave was first discovered the many marks, scratches and furrows along its walls were assumed to have been the work of picks wielded by ancient Egyptians searching for gold or diamonds. In fact, the excavated sections of the cave are the result of something altogether much stranger.

The Kitum cave is found on Mount Elgon, an extinct shield volcano and the cave itself developed as the result of cooling volcanic rock. The cave which extends some 600 feet into the mountain has walls covered in salt, and it is here that the mysterious cave diggers reveal themselves.

Each night for hundreds (possibly thousands) of years animals have traveled into the cave in the dead of night to use it as a giant salt lick. Buffaloes, antelope, leopards, hyenas, and most of all elephants bumble blindly through the cave (the elephants often bump their heads in the process) making their way to the salty walls of the cave. It is the elephants that have done the digging.

Using their massive tusks they scrape the the salt, the elephants pull off chunks of the walls to crush and lick up the salt. Over the centuries this has resulted in a noticeable increase in the size of the cave and walls covered in tusk marks. The trip to the cave is not without dangers and there is a deep crevasse into which many younger, more inexperienced elephants have fallen leaving behind an elephant graveyard.

The Kitum cave is more recently famous for a very different sort of lifeform, a deadly virus. In 1980 and again in 1987 visitors to the cave contracted Marburg virus, a deadly virus very similar to Ebola. The cave and Marburg virus rose to notoriety when it was featured in bestseller “The Hot Zone.” It is believed that the bats in the cave may carry the virus and that their powered guano may act as the disease vector.

In spite of being functionally outstanding, Honda‘s odd looking Element crossover has never lived up to sales expectations. The funky box never approached the initial sales target of 75,000 units a year, and this year it’s on track for barely more than 15,000 sales. Despite its relative commercial failure, Honda has reportedly given the green light to a second generation model. Despite a couple of modest freshenings, the Element is already seven years into its life cycle – considerably longer than typical for a Japanese branded model.

Given the slow sales, why would Honda bother with a new iteration? Honda’s executive vice-president, John Mendel, has informed Automotive News that virtually all Element sales are incremental. The Element shares its platform with the much higher volume CR-V, but apparently almost no buyers cross-shop the two vehicles – Element buyers have no interest in the CR-V and vice-versa. If Honda does proceed with a new model, perhaps unique features like the recently introduced dog friendly package will be the key to increased differentiation and success.

The Turtle Trader Micheal Covel appears to have joined the financial angst gold rush.

In addition to his blog shown to the right, which always appeared to us like nothing but a giant sales pitch for his Turtle Trader book, he has now also come out with a movie for sale.

It’s about the crisis, and the trailer doesn’t say much except that we should be confused and outraged.

We suspect that the secret to turtle trading involves developing additional cash flows around one’s trading activity.

Compact smart card connectors designed for full size ID1 and SIM/SAM ID000 cards…

C&K Components has developed a comprehensive range of smart card connectors. Featuring high temperature thermoplastics and compatibility with automatic pick-and-place equipment, the CCM01 and CCM02 Series smart card connectors are designed for full size ID1 cards, while the CCM03 Series connectors are designed for SIM/SAM ID000 cards. The CCM04 Series devices are compatible with both ID1 and SIM/SAM ID000 cards.

“As a long established supplier of smart card connectors, we have extensive experience matching performance with the need to remain cost sensitive, which is particularly important in consumer electronics applications,” said Jerome Smolinski, senior product manager for C&K Components. “We consider the true cost of the interconnect to be a function not just of price, but also the ease with which the device can be integrated into the customer’s production process and its performance in the field.”

The smart card connectors are ideal for use in transaction, identification and PoS (point-of-sale) applications, as well as handheld devices and GPS units.

The CCM01 and CCM02 Series devices feature a sealed, normally open card detection switch and a chamfered opening in the card entry slot to improve the card guidance. Maximum card insertion force is 10N and contact force ranges from 0.25N to 0.5N. Minimum mechanical life for the 8-contact CCM01 Series connector is 100,000 cycles. The 8-contact CCM02 Series connector also features an anti-piracy system and has a minimum mechanical life of 500,000 cycles.

The compact CCM03 and CCM04 Series smart card connectors are available with 6 or 8 contacts and feature hinged, fixed or auto-locked covers. The CCM03 Series devices exhibit a minimum mechanical life of 10,000 cycles for the hinged cover and 50,000 cycles for the fixed cover. Card insertion force is 1N for the hinged cover and 3N for the fixed cover, while contact force ranges from 0.25N to 0.5N. The CCM04 Series connectors feature a minimum mechanical life of 100,000 cycles. Maximum card insertion force is 10N, and contact force ranges from 0.25N to 0.5N.
