The world’s largest elevator has more space than many floors in Tokyo

by

The skyscrapers have obsessed us for centuries. There are plenty of examples like The Italian Manhattan almost 1,000 years ago, Manhattan herselfthe Burred that rose in China or what is erecting in Dubai. Whenever the construction of a new skyscraper is announced, something that comes to mind is: and the elevators … what? They are elements that can go unnoticed, but that is something that does not happen to huge elevator of the Jio World Center tower. Not only is it the largest elevator in the world, but it has the small floor size and capacity for more inhabitants than many PEOPLES OF SPAIN EMPTY. But it is not the only hyperascensor that attracts attention. A bus without wheels. This elevator has no its own name, but, definitely, it deserves it. Created by the Finnish company Kone, the Jio World Center elevator in Mumbai has the capacity to house up to 235 people simultaneously. It is an absolute barbarity that has been designed to offer a transport as comfortable as possible for those who use it. Not only does the decoration attract attention, with large windows and a sophisticated roof with design lamps, but it has its own ventilation system so that the route is as pleasant as possible even at maximum load. The elevator floor also has a very careful pattern and we only miss the occasional sofa to rest. Space is left over, of course. Huge. Because the dimensions are recorded, with its weight of 16 tons and its surface of 25.78 m². It has several access doors to expedite the flow of users and the windows serve to have passengers have a panoramic view of both the convention center in which it is located and its gardens. It only operates on five floors, but that does not make this elevator a real monstrosity. If you are wondering how the security measures, those responsible announced that the system is supported by 18 pulleys and the cabin moves on rails fixed in steel columns. The goal is for transportation to be as comfortable as possible, without accelerons or brakes. And all this is remotely monitored to avoid dislikes. Your building is not far behind. The elevator is colossal, but its building is no less. He Jio World Center It is a space dedicated to great conventions. It is the largest in India and its exterior and interior design has no waste. Is not the only one. Now, one thing must be clarified: that of the Jio World Center is the largest elevator for people in the world both by weight and charging capacity, but there is a set that has nothing to envy: that of the office building UMEDA JANKYU In Osaka, Japan. Installed in 2010, these are five elevators of about 18 square meters with capacity for 80 people each. Built by Mitsubishi, these elevators have more merit by having more work than that of the Indian Convention Center and transporting almost 400 simultaneous people through 15 plants. The Bailong China, of course. But if you suspected that China, With its mega -structuresI would not have a hyperascensor in any of them, you are right. In fact, it has two. One of them, the Bailongan elevator that runs a height of 326 meters outdoors with capacity for 50 people at the same time and a speed of overwhelming three meters per second. There are three double -floor elevators that operate simultaneously and were inaugurated in 2002. Their views are imposing, since they are next to a cliff. And if we go to the industrialists… just as imposing, due to its capacity, it is the ship’s elevator of the three throats, also in China. It is an elevator that facilitates River traffic on the Yangtsé River and has a load capacity of up to 3,000 tons. Its platform is 120 meters long, 18 wide and 3.5 meters deep. It is a demential structure that raises the ships at a height of 113 meters, an operation that has between 30 and 40 minutes and that, although it seems a lot, is much faster than the traditional system of locks to pass ships from one side to another.

Siberia stays in the dark good of winter. In 1988, Russia had an idea to solve it: mirrors in space

by

Towards the end of World War II, Some documents in Life magazine They revealed one of the many ideas that Hitler’s Nazi Germany had: a kind of solar projectile through A giant orbital mirror to destroy enemies or even whole cities. Obviously that never happened, but decades later it served as a slight inspiration for a Russian scientist who started from a fascinating idea: how could we extend the hours of the day? Convert the night. The truth is that the background idea is not new. Over the years, Humanity has sought to extend the day (Understood as day and light) with technological tools, from electric light to digital communications. However, in the 1990s, a group of Russian scientists tried to take this concept to the extreme: launch huge space mirrors to reflect sunlight towards the earth and prolong the day. Vladimir Syromyatnikov. The project we are talking about was directed by Vladimir Syromyatnikovone of the most influential space engineers in historyknown by Develop the ship’s coupling mechanism which is still used at the International Space Station. During the 80s, his interest focused on The design of solar candles that could use solar radiation To propel ships through space. However, in postsoviet Russia, obtaining financing for space projects required clear economic justification. Thus, Syromyatnikov reformulated his idea and presented it as One way to illuminate Siberia’s arctic regions during the dark winter monthsincreasing productivity in agriculture and industry. Yeah, I would try to turn on the sun for the polar regions of Russia After the night fell. Image of Znamya Znamya and his brief success. In 1988, Syromyatnikov founded the Space Regata Consortiumwith the support of Roscosmos and several state companies. His motto was very clear: “Diury light all night.” The idea not only promised to reduce electric lighting costs, but also Facilitate rescue in disasters, military operations and night construction projects. The first prototype, Znamya 2, He was sent to space in February 1993 aboard the progress M-15 ship and subsequently deployed from the MIR Space Station. Once in orbit, he began to turn to deploy its reflective surface. The mirror, 20 meters in diameter, achieved the feat of Reflect a beam of light equivalent to that of a full moon, illuminating an area of ​​5 km in diameter while crossing Europe and Russia 8 km per second, even Astronauts in Mir confirmed that they could follow the flash from space. The problem? The reflected light was more diffuse than expected and difficult to controland the weather was not taken into account. Plus: The cloudiness prevented the majority of observers on land to notice. Hours later, The mirror disintegrated by re -entering the atmosphere. ZNeamya 2.5. Despite its short duration, the experiment showed that the concept was viable, which promoted Znamya 2.5 planningwith a larger mirror and the ability to maintain the beam of light on a fixed point. Thus, in 1999 this second version was launched with A 25 meter diameter mirror. This time, when deploying, one of his fine sheets became entangled in an antenna from the Progress ship, tear the structure. The attempts to free her failed and the mirror had to be exorbitantburning in the atmosphere. The next step would be Znamya 3, with a 70 -meter mirror, capable of illuminating entire cities. What happened? That The failure of Znamya 2.5 and the lack of financing buried Syromyatnikov’s project and dream. In addition, the opposition of astronomers and environmentalists grew, arguing that Space mirrors could alter natural cyclesaffect astronomical observation and confuse wildlife. A man and his tireless search for light. Despite the failure, Syromyatnikov continued looking for financing to build a permanent mirro system. We talk about An estimated project of 340 million dollars. His vision was a world where cities would not need artificial light and the days had no nights. However, investors lost interest and the project was abandoned. Syromyatnikov continued his work on coupling systems until his death In 2006, dedicating his days to work without rest, in an ironic parallelism with his obsession with eliminate The night. The legacy. If you want, that was also the end of a space “exploration.” In any case, much less the background idea is over. Today, the idea of ​​taking advantage of sunlight from space has resurfaced In the investigation of orbital solar plantsthe same as They could send energy to Earth through microwave. However, Znamya is still a reminder of the limits of technology and the need to respect natural cycles. Russia’s attempt to convert the night and enlighten Siberia in winter was both a demonstration of human ingenuity and an experiment that, in the end, crashed with the laws of nature and resistance of the modern world.

We thought that innovating was the way but we were very wrong

Recently reflected on the future iPhone 17 Air. Something hides this phone that I do not understand, since trying to sell an iPhone simply thinner as the main novelty of 2025 does not finish quadrar. Nor does the Galaxy S25 Edgean ultradelgated S25 future that, according to the photos, will have a hardware even lower than that of its brothers. The point is that, a few years ago, we imagined that mobiles would not have ports and would be very futuristic. None of this has happened. We have the same as in those years we dreamed, but with Less Bevel and Best hardware. I am not sure where the mobiles will go in the coming years, but I am quite clear where they will not go. Ports and buttons elimination. If something is making clear the industry is that this future iPhone “without buttons or ports” (We talked about him in 2018agüita) cannot be further from reality. In fact, 2024 was the year that showed us that we love the buttons, moving the industry to add a camera control that does not work well on any phone, but that provides that extra button. Something similar happens with the ports. We have been dreaming of a phone without ports for years, and we cannot be further from this reality. A mobile without ports is not so easy to introduce the public. In fact, Xiaomi already tried with him Mix Alphaa conceptual mobile that was presented in 2021 and which we did not know anything again. Your fast charging system would be chaos (It is already with cables CDifferent loads C, fast -owned fast charging protocols, etc.), the connection to the car would only be possible in cases of having an auto/wireless carplay Android, and the PowerBanks industry would have to fully migrate to MAGSAFE type loaders. Biometry to the face ID. There was a time when manufacturers obsessed with biometry. In fact, Samsung was the first company to introduce Iris reading on a phone. Years later, we have 90% of the phones taking a 2D photo with the camera and using this photo as a biometry system. Google also tried, for only one year, with the facial reader of the 4 xl pixel. It took a single generation to back down, forget about facial biometry for a while, and recover it years later with 2D camera. The rest, we leave it to Apple and Honor, the only companies that bet on full 3D facial recognition and much safer. Implement these systems requires extra cameras and Tof sensors. They are not especially expensive technologies, but it has important commitments for the terminal design. Innovative screens no, thanks. A few years ago, mobiles with 3D screen wanted to consider as the future. In fact, there are manufacturers like Nubia who still try on tablets such as Nubia Pad 3D. Beyond experiments of this type the market has left something clear: it wants “normal” screens without this technology. Something similar happens with folding mobiles. Although we see them as something new, they have been in the market from 2019and no brand is getting them to be mainstream. There was also talk that, little by little, this technology would be cheaper. The reality is that no and that, to equal price against traditional phones, Users continue to prefer the latter. Here you have an extensive and detailed list of technological trends that were anticipated as “the future of mobile phones” but that, until 2025, have not managed to consolidate or have been forgotten, based on analysis of experts and documented cases. Surprises in design, either. We usually complain that manufacturers repeat design and do not innovate. The reality is that, every time there is a breaker project in design, it fails. LG was the one who ventured the most a few years ago, with a LG G5 Modular that failed to take off in sales. Nor did the LG Wingwith its rotating screen. ARA also failedGoogle’s project to create a modular mobile that didn’t even see the light. The one of Google killing things It is not something new, but in 2016 they seemed clear that a mobile has to look like a mobile if you want to sell. In short, no matter how much we weigh (and bored), the near future of the telephone will continue to go through hardware improvements, increasingly deep integration of AI and few surprises. At least, until someone manages to punch on the table to tear down the pillars that have been holding this industry for years.

It’s like ‘champions’ but in real image, it’s full of absurd humor and has just arrived in Netflix

by

It is possible that although you have not seen ‘Shaolin Soccer‘, that He has just arrived in Netflixyou know her through the many memes and clips that circulate from it on the Internet. Possibly you have seen a football game in which players, all Chinese, make martial arts, paralyze time, make exaggerated acrobatics or a goalkeeper dressed in Bruce’s yellow monkey in ‘Dragon Operation’ chains spectacular stops. Now you have the opportunity to watch the full movie, which we guarantee that it is up to those clips. An absolute delirium in which un monk Shaolin is obsessed with popularizing the Kung Fu Among modern society. A reunion with a friend, former failed footballer, will lead them to launch an absurd apparent idea: form a team that mixes football with martial arts. Stephen Chow is the director and protagonist of this film, and also an absolute star of the Chinese comedy. If you have seen any other production of yours, it is possibly the absolutely trchantest ‘kung fu sion’ (also You have it in Netflix), which coincides with this in much of the cast, or perhaps the most recent and also hilarious ‘Las Sirenas’. Perhaps these are the most affordable for the non -Asian public, but if you like them, you have a little filmography full of parodies of all kinds, and in which jewels of absurd and incorrect humor shine as’ Love on delivery ‘,’ The God of Cookry ‘or’ from Beijing with love ‘. ‘Shaolin Soccer’ was shot when ‘Matrix0 had just sweetened on screens around the world and special effects type Bullet Time They also abound here, although instead of showing the ballistic choreographies of Neo and Trinity, they are at the service of absurd football expertise, and where the VAR has no reason to be. If you like football, this can be your life movieand if not, with more reason … too. In Xataka | In China, mythical heroes ridicule Marvel. And the box office of this animated film shows it again

clothing that instead of preventing you from cooling, heats up

by

Few things are comparable to sunbathing to warm up. Solar energy is directly or indirectly, the source of all the energy we use on Earth but, perhaps above all, it is a source of heat. Now a team of researchers has developed a fabric capable of taking advantage of solar energy in a different way but with a very conventional purpose: to warm up. Up to 30º. It is an “intelligent fabric” capable of heating up to 30º Celsius. For this, it is only necessary to let this material exposed to sunlight for about 10 minutes. Its developers point out that the new invention could serve to create ideal clothes to resist very low temperatures. Clothing, 2.0. Conventional clothes, as we can intuit, do not heat. At least not in the sense of emanating heat that our body absorbs. What he does is rather help us not lose heat that, naturally, emanates our body. It could be said that it keeps us hot instead of warming us. In 2025 there are clothes that are able to warm us: gloves, coatsblankets and to accessories. However, these types of designs require energy sources such as batteries or plugs, which limits their “autonomy.” Resistant and flexible. The new system allows to avoid the fattening and risks associated with this type of garments by heating ourselves with surprising efficacy. But in addition to this ability to warm us, the developers of this material highlights its durability and elasticity. As they explain, the new material is able to stretch up to 500% and support 25 washing cycles without losing its heat property or its appearance. Nanoparticles The “magic” behind this material “(is in nanoparticles that) are activated by sunlight, allowing the fabric to absorb heat and transform it into warmth,” Explain in a press release Yuning Li, one of the developers of the new material. The new fiber, their creators point out, is created through a wet spinning process, combining polypamine and polyianylin nanoparticles. This facilitates the absorption of light and improves photothermal conversion. The team responsible for ingenuity presented the new material With an article In the magazine Advanced Composites and Hybrid Materials in which he offered some details about this. Is it loaded? Another unique characteristic of this fabric is that it changes color depending on its state, that is, when it is “loaded” of energy acquires a different color. This is also due to the nanoparticles responsible for storing and releasing energy in the fabric. A feature that is also useful as an indicator of the “load status” of the garment in question. Of course, the question of when and how we can see this finding implemented in our locker room is one that remains to be answered.

The Goya They are a fracticide fight to take the awards to the best films in Spanish of the year (and a few in languages ​​of the European territory). And as you know, there are always discussions about whether or not the winners deserved the awards. We come, as always, with very personal opinions, but that can help you dissipate doubts if this weekend, to accompany Saturday night’s gala, you want to see some goyizable or goyized cinema. These are our three favorite films among all the nominees (we leave out the best European film), and where to see them. House in flames There is nothing more to see the vast majority of nominations that this black and bitter comedy accumulates to guess where its strengths are: in its cast and its script. Everything to form the portrait of a very specific fauna, a certain decadent Catalan bourgeoisie, headed by two first actors, Alberto San Juan and Emma Vilarasau. Both are a mature and divorced couple who (more or less) have rebuilt their lives and remain in a house that the family has on the Costa Brava with their children to make a series of important decisions. From the first measures of the film, where the mother has to make a sperpetic decision so that the meeting is held. The theme of the film is clear: a ruthless but hilarious portrait of the most daily human miseries. Nominated a Best film, best leading actor (Alberto San Juan), best leading actress (Emma Vilarasau), best cast actor (Enric auquer), best cast actress (two: Macarena García and María Rodríguez Soto ‘), best original script, better Production Directorate Where to see it: In Netflix The infiltrated ‘La Infiltrada’ has already made history becoming the highest grossing Spanish film in the story directed for a woman, but her real value is in the stark portrait of a wild era that makes through the figure of Elena Tejada, Rioja agent of The National Police that with 22 years changes identity to infiltrate ETA and dismantle the Donosti command in the late nineties. A real story that, as the director Arantxa Echevarría says, dismantles the myth that women can only tell small and intimate stories. Because ‘the infiltrated’ is, above all, a thriller of good and bad, not a political drama attentive to the nuances, and in that sense it works overwhelmingly: its recreation of the Donosti of the nineties, the extraordinary interpretation of Carolina Yuste, The increasingly suffocating and more urgent rhythm in anguish pies. A first thriller. Nominated a Best film, best direction, best original script, best original music, best leading actress (Carolina Yuste), best cast actress (Nausicaa Bonnín), best cast actor (Luis Tosar), best production direction, best photography direction, Better assembly, better makeup and hairdressing, better sound, better special effects Where to see it: In cinemas The crying Only its director Pedro Martín-Calero took a nomination, but it is worth claiming this film, right now that he has just landed in Prime Video. It is a piece of supernatural terror that comes with an indicutable quality seal: the script is co-written by Martín-Calero and Isabel Peña, a regular collaborator of Rodrigo Sorogoyen and co-managing of gender films as shuddering as ‘As Bestas’. Here a splendid Ester Expósito gives life to a girl who feels threatened by a presence that is not perceived with the naked eye. We will know a story that occurred twenty years ago, ten thousand kilometers, and how this entity crosses the time and space to sift over several women. Using as a starting point the ominous style of Japanese ghost cinema, Martín-Calero and Peña draw an invisible line that tells the fear of three women in a story of pure terror, but who has easily extrapolable meanings to much more tangible threats.

China has great plans with its “new silk route.” An unexpected corner of the world threatens to truncar them: Myanmar

by

China has too many open fronts. On the one hand, the Technological War With the West who is serving to boost your technology industry. On the other hand, the Commercial War which is making natural resources monopolize. Also his impulse to renewable energiesbecoming the main power and growing so much that their companies have beenNzarzado in a price war. To add more pepper to the matter, its great project of the new silk route encounters an unexpected enemy: a neighboring country at war since 1948. New Silk Route. For hundreds of years, the Silk route connected the Southeast Asia with the Mediterranean. It was a series of commercial routes open by China that not only allowed a trade between many countries, but a way of expanding their influence abroad. With the decline of China due to Opium wars Already new commercial routes, in the nineteenth century, the silk route passed to the background. In the 21st century, with the new Chinese economic splendor and the desire to recover that international influence, the country impulse The initiative of the new Silk route. In 2013, President Xi Jinping advertisement His intention to revitalize the old commercial ties between Asia, Europe and in North Africa, this being one of China’s most ambitious strategies. Milmillonaria investment. The advantages seem obvious. Currently, the vast majority of world trade depends on a few maritime routes. The Portenero ships They are a ‘cheap’ solution to transport tons of goods, but they depend on a few points of passage that, if they see interrupted its activity For any reason, They cause world chaos. With a land transport, not only another route is achieved to move merchandise, but you can shorten times. With a land transport from Southeast Asia to Germany, the merchandise would take about two weeks to arrive. With the same route by sea, time is dilated until just over a month. China, being the great producer of the world, has sought to increase its position with this rail transport, something for which you have had to invest Much money in infrastructure deployment and in route width adaptations with certain paths, such as the old Soviet lines with a different path width. HE esteem that this investment has been almost a billion of euros not only in a railroad, but in ports, airports, stations and other infrastructure. Criticism. Countries around the world They benefit of these investments promoted by China. Pakistan, Kazakhstan, Thailand, Malaysia or Vietnam have received important investments in land and maritime infrastructure. Russia has also improved its rail connections, improving trade between two countries (that they are needing so much). Italy and Greece have also received investments in ports. Egypt, more of the same with the strategy of the Chinese economic and commercial cooperation zone. And Panama also signed a agreement for the expansion of the train line (which just had fall After Trump’s arrival) It is one tremendous strategy both for sea and land that involves many countries and, as expected, it does not do it Too much grace. The reason is that they consider that it is a strategy from China to gain influence on developing countries, something that can play against US interests in countries, especially the Middle East, in which they have military facilities. Myanmar. The problem is that they have encountered a civil war. Myanmar, previously Burma, has been in crisis for two centuries. In the nineteenth century there were the Anglo-Birian wars, which continued in 1948 with the civil war of Myanmar. They achieved the independence of the United Kingdom, but their society was fragmented and a tremendous civil war that persists to this day began. Everything was intensified with the 2021 coup d’etat to overthrow the democratic government, which has led to a new war situation with millions of internal displacements in recent years. And, in that lack of lack of control, with internal struggles to control territories and commercial roads, China has encountered an important stumbling block in the development of its new silk route. Rare earth. China and Myanmar share more than 2,100 kilometers of border, being the Chinese province of Yunnan is the most affected. And the problem is that the presence of military groups and ethnic tensions is preventing China Agreements of the new silk route. The area, in addition, is rich in Rare earthsomething that China dominates and wants to continue controllingso the country is showing warm with the situation of its neighbors. China’s role. As we read in BBCChina did not want to get wet in this whole matter, which is now splashing. When the army gave the coup d’etat, Xi Jinping did not condemn him and continued to sell them weapons. However, he also did not recognize the military as the new heads of state. In fact, experts already consider that China is pressing so that things are again as before, not because they want to return to democracy or peace, but because they want to continue developing their commercial strategy. From the Myanmar regime it is suspected that Beijing is playing two bands supporting both the army and the rebels, who use Chinese weapons. But, the only thing China can do right now is to wait and press on both sides to achieve a peace agreement that allows them to continue with their businesses. Meanwhile, and as always, the people are the one who is suffering the consequences, with more than three million displaced and thousands of dead since 2021.

50 years of research on depression psychotherapy leave a surprising fact: we have not improved anything

by

Since the 70s, hundreds of studies have examined the effects of psychotherapies against the depression. They have done it with many different experimental approaches and designs. They have done it insistently and, as if that were not enough, in an increasing number. That has allowed us to know two things: the first is that psychotherapies They are effective. The second is that this effectiveness has not moved an apex in 50 years. How can we know? To begin with, thanks to Pim Cuijpers, Professor Emeritus of Clinical Psychology at Amsterdam University. He and a team of researchers They gathered 562 randomized controlled trials that had been published in the last 50 years. These essays are the highest methodological quality that are currently (although, as the authors point out, average Caldiad is not as high as it should). In total, the researchers gathered information of 66,361 patients. Most American adults, but with a significant number of people from other countries. From there, they only had to weigh the interventions, the results and see what happened. What did they find? To begin with, they found that psychotherapies work. In fact, his conclusions were that, as the years go by (and studies), the “evidence that psychotherapies are effective is solid and grows over the years.” The surprise was not that, of course. The surprise was that, for many studies that have been added over the years, “they found no sign that the effects of therapies (psychological against depression) have improved.” None. The effectiveness of these treatments has remained surprisingly stable throughout all these years. And how does all this leave psychotherapy? In a strange situation. In a context in which the consumption of benzodiazepines does not stop growing (and, remember, Spain is World Ansiolithic Consumption Leader With more than 91 daily doses per 1,000 inhabitants), psychotherapies appear as an effective solution; But we are not improving. That is, we have a tool, but we cannot climb it. If the problem continues to grow (and is doing it), we will need more and more resources. Resources that, from the financial crisis and despite the concern of recent years, do not seem to be arriving. The question is no longer “What are we failing“,” Why we can’t improve more “,” where is what limits us to go further “, which also: the question is how we do it better. And it is urgent to find an answer. Image | Cuijpers et Atls | Nik Shuliahin In Xataka | Work stress as germ of depression: work pressure enhances mental disorders

2.- Molancholic sadness originated by the memory of a loss Nostalgia has come to stay in the car market. It makes a lot of sense, if we think coldly. We are facing a historical moment in the automobile industry. The regulatory changes and a new technology that seems to be average price increased of a car to Remove some capabilities He has made many feel expelled from this “new mobility.” Nostalgia applied to the automobile market is nothing more than the redundancy of A constant of our societyencouraged to constantly remind us that all the past was better. And it does not have to be exactly like that but manufacturers have decided to enter the game. If the most common buyer of a new car exceeds 45 years and what lived between 15 and 25 years We consider it as the best time of our life … You just have to subtract. That is why Renault has risen to Renault 5which ceased to be manufactured 40 years ago and was an essential part of the childhood of those buyers who are already well entered in the forties. The same buyers who have the purchasing power to get those cars. He will follow him Renault 4 and the Twingo. It is about attracting the electric car market to an audience that needs stimuli and incentives that appeal to their feelings. Ford opted for a slightly more risky strategy: use mythical names. He did it with the Ford Mustang, who was left an electric brother. And he has done it with the Ford Capri. A car that was an icon of the 70s and a large part of the 80s. Subtracts, again, and checks who is directed An electric car called Ford Capri. Renault has opted for popular models but Ford has chosen the way to resurrect names that have a space of honor in the collective imaginary of car lovers. And, with this, they have gotten the most staunch defenders to be thrown on them but have also managed to get to those who would cost more money with higher investments in marketing. An example of that selective memory and understanding that the past was better for the simple fact that we remember it is the case of Ford Capri. Yes, it has risen as an electric car but in its day it also came to set up an unexpected, weird and that of course we do not associate with the Muscle Cars American. A motorcycle engine in a mythical car That generalized image we have of “American car” of the Ford Capri is not such and partly distorted by memory. The car was born as a European version of Ford Mustang. That forced to make a smaller car, with also smaller engines and, above all, except gastons. That led Ford to opt for a curious solution with the launch at the end of the 60s: mount a V4 engine. Ford’s intention was to make Capri A car that young Europeans could buythat was not expensive and that offered a cheap and sports alternative to the classic German Coupés. The proper functioning of Mustang In the United States they convinced them that they could get a similar result in Europe. With that premise, it was about recycling all possible components to prevent development from being price. With that premise, Ford brought out a V4 engine. A very little used concept in the car market because it forces to develop a propeller with Two ass, two exhaust collectors and two valve trains. That is much more complicated than a four -cylinder engine online. In return, you get a propeller with a very characteristic sound and very contained dimensions. Width it can be a problem if the car is very narrow but it is a much more compact option than its older brothers. In addition, the power delivery was softer than with a four -cylinder online, although it does not reach the refinement of a V6 or a V8. That compact size is perfect for a high performance motorcycle. Its power can go above 100 hp easily and entered in this field, the configuration is ideal for high performance motorcycles. In a car, where the weight is much greater, this advantage is very eclipsed. Ford’s V4 engine we already knew it in Europe. The company put it at the service of Ford Taunus and was Saab’s supplier. Also Lancia with the fulvia He had tried unsuccessfully to make the V4 engine an alternative to the four online cylinders. Despite their best behavior, the high development and production costs finished killing a propeller that we would see again in the Porsche 919 Hybrid of Le Mans. But that is another story.
