Super concepts of unmanned aerial vehicles and electric cars: the walls-drone, electric vehicle-IT information
Last December, Disney Research (Institute for Disney) and ETH (Switzerland Zurich Federal Polytechnic Institute) researchers developed a ground vehicle and combination of UAV programmes, VertiGo and launched a prototype machine, this machine not only can drive on land, but also able to climb walls with the power of vehicle-mounted rotor.
The machine has four wheels, above the frame with two rotors, the two rotors can output enough power on the wall, it can be said is a new concept in UAV (click here to watch the video, this video from the network).
Recently, the mechanical engineer Charles Bombardier, VertiGo was developed on the basis of a new concept car, the car is called Ventooz, from shape to works with VertiGo looks somewhat similar, but the difference is, this car is manned.

According to Bombardier introduced Ventooz can carry a person's weight is stable on the wall, it can be applied to a variety of uses, such as staff drove the Ventooz skyscraper on the outside to repair these buildings, inspection of large dams, threatening in case of emergency, and so on. Of course, apart from these, Ventooz can also be used for entertainment purposes, such as in parks or playgrounds built a similar experience, allowing visitors to experience the feeling of vertical drive.
It is understood that Ventooz works seem not very complicated, with Disney's VertiGo and some similar and different. Ventooz on four wheels studded with sucker-like things (although ugly, obsessive compulsive disorder, intensive look may not be used in patients with phobias), like an Octopus, can increase the car itself of wall friction and adhesion.

Body before and after the two turbines, there is a group inside the turbine rotor-wing, providing up to reasoning and let it fit tightly to the wall. Both machines will use an electric motor four wheel and Turbo, and uses a hydrogen fuel cell powered car range of the machine more powerful.

Just said has, this two machine car maximum of features is can manned, so in machine car Central has a recessed to of cockpit, operation way also not special complex, also no used traditional of steering wheel type of vehicles control way, operator just to sat in driving seat Shang, through left side of two a manipulation rod to control machine car of wheels and Turbo, keep vehicles overall azimuth of mobile.
Ventooz concept car presented by Charles Bombardier, said in the concept of Ventooz has a lot of redundant parts, manufactured this car may now not the same, the final parameter configuration will depend on the vehicle's available power, scenario, endurance and maneuverability, and so on.
Charles Bombardier is Canada Valcourt, a mechanical engineer and investor, the famous Imaginactive.org who established nonprofit agencies, the site's goal is to "inspire the next generation to create the future transportation."
Bombardier and he of Imaginactive.org had proposed had many Super concept of project, like Solar Express space train, this two train highest speed can up each seconds 3000 km, only need 37 hours on can will human or Mars sent Shang space; also has Lei Feng network (search "Lei Feng network" public, concern) had reported had of a paragraph shape similar Yu UFO of fire no machine, can with Sonic for fire and so on.

Although the project is still in the conceptual stage, but these concepts are the prospects for the future and expectations. This Ventooz seems to be higher than the first two mentioned the concept of more reliable and more practical, the drones and vehicles combined with the emergence of new concepts, to make up for the gaps in many areas of application, if it can be achieved, it is a good thing for many industries.
无人机和电动车的超概念结合：可飞檐走壁 - 无人机,电动汽车 - IT资讯
去年12月份，Disney Research（迪士尼研究院）和ETH（瑞士苏黎世联邦理工学院）的研究员们共同开发了一个地面车和无人机相结合的方案，并推出了原型机VertiGo，这个机器不但能够在陆地上行驶，还能够借助车载旋翼的力量进行爬墙。
这款机器有四个轮子，在车架上方有两个旋翼，这两个旋翼能够输出足够让车贴在墙上行驶的力量，可以说是无人机的一个新概念（可点此观看视频，本视频来自网络）。
近日，机械工程师Charles Bombardier，在VertiGo的基础上研发了一个新的概念车，这款车名为Ventooz，从外形到工作原理看上去都跟VertiGo有些相似，但不同的是，这款动力车是可以载人的。

根据Bombardier介绍，Ventooz可以承载一个人的重量在墙面上稳定的行驶，它可以适用于各种各样的用途，比如工作人员可以开着Ventooz开上摩天大厦的外沿去维修这些建筑物、大型堤坝的巡检、危及情况下的抢险救援等等。当然，除了这些之外，Ventooz还可以用作娱乐用途，比如在公园或游乐场建一个类似的体验项目，让游客们体验一下垂直开车的感觉。
据了解，Ventooz的工作原理看起来并不是很复杂，跟迪士尼的VertiGo有些相似且不尽相同。Ventooz四个轮子上嵌满了吸盘状的东西（虽然很丑，强迫症、密集恐惧症患者看上去可能不太适应），像章鱼一样，能够增加车子本身对墙体的摩擦力和附着力。

车身前后分别有两个涡轮，涡轮内部各有一组桨翼，能够提供向上的推理，让车紧紧地贴合在墙壁上。这两机器车将使用电动马达带动四个轮子以及涡轮，并且会使用氢燃料电池作为动力，让机器车的续航更加的强力。

刚刚说了，这两机器车最大的特点就是可以载人，所以在机器车中部有一个凹进去的驾驶舱，操作方式也不是特别复杂，也没有采用传统的方向盘式的车辆操控方式，操作员只需要坐在驾驶座位上，通过左右手边的两个操纵杆来操控机器车的车轮和涡轮，保持车辆整体方位的移动。
Ventooz概念车的提出者Charles Bombardier表示，在Ventooz的概念中有很多冗余的部分，等这辆车制造出来可能会跟现在不太一样，最终的参数配置将取决于车辆的可用功率、应用场景、续航以及可操作性等等。
Charles Bombardier是加拿大瓦尔古的一位机械工程师兼投资人，著名的非盈利机构 Imaginactive.org就是他创立的，该网站的目标就是“启发下一代人创造未来交通方式”。
Bombardier以及他的Imaginactive.org曾经提出过很多超概念的项目，比如Solar Express太空列车，这两列车最高速度可达每秒3000公里，只需要37个小时就可以将人类或者火星送上太空；还有雷锋网（搜索“雷锋网”公众号关注）曾经报道过的一款外形类似于飞碟的消防无人机，可以用声波进行灭火等等。

虽然这些项目都还在概念性阶段，但是这些概念都是对未来的展望和期许。这次的Ventooz看上去似乎比前两个提到的概念更靠谱也更实用，这种无人机和车辆结合的新概念的出现，弥补了目前很多应用领域的空白，如果真的能够实现，那么对很多行业来说都是一件利好的事情。
