Tata Motors is rumored to have made a prototype using cornstarch

At present, Tata Motors is rumored to have made a prototype vehicle that has been using cornstarch and those are tested.

Apart from Tata Motors, the manufacturer Ford has also made ​​a breakthrough by using recycled materials. At that Ford plans to use material from recycled jeans as an absorption material and carpet material.

Who said cornstarch can only be used for cooking. Indian auto giant Tata Motors has developed an innovation by making the body of the vehicle using material derived from corn known as low-nutrient foods.

Launched Motorbeam, these technical achievements have been made by the R & D (Research & Development) Centre Tata Motors. Team based in Pune, Lucknow and Jamshedpur use cornstarch to enhance the safety aspects of the vehicle.

Based on the report R & D team, corn starch material that is non-flammable and non-toxic and when used on the part of the elastic body is more able to withstand the pressure when the collision occurred as compared to conventional sheet metal.

"At any given point in time, R & D work to develop some ideas for the future. And this is one of them. We have a structured process of taking an idea through multiple stages to determine their eligibility. Therefore, it is too early for us to be more specific as it is now, "explained the source of Tata Motors.

Mazda SKYACTIV-G engine technology's proved to produce very high compression ratio

Award given to an acknowledgment of the success of Mazda Mazda improvement in the efficiency of internal combustion. Mazda engine development is expected to remain a major source of energy in future cars.

MAZDA Motor Corporation managed to get the highest award at the event in New Japan Society for Promotion of Machine Industry (JSPMI) Award of the 9th to the development of the Mazda SKYACTIV-G engine technology proved capable of producing very high compression ratio.

Award from the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry Japan is attributed to the research, development, and commercialization undertaken a variety of organizations, such as companies, universities, and research institutions for development and growth of machine industry in Japan.

SKYACTIV-G engine that carried the Mazda were able to achieve the highest compression ratio in the world for gasoline-based engines are mass produced, which is 14,0:1. Ratio resulted in fuel savings and increase the engine power by 15 percent compared to the machines that exist today.

SKYACTIV-G engine already used on the newer models that came out in 2011 and was able to produce good fuel economy and responsive performance. To achieve high compression ratio gasoline engine is very difficult because it generally tends to make the engine knocking (ngelitik).

Mazda had recently found that the oxidation reaction occurs at low temperature before the engine is running, when the compression ratio is at a high point. The reaction then results in a reduction knocking and more power.

By utilizing this reaction, Mazda has developed an engine SKYACTIV-G. This machine also brings some new combustion technologies, such as piston cavity is designed to support the level of the ideal combustion and multi-hole injector that allows the fuel-injection appropriately.
