That buzz? Harley-Davidson confirms production electric motorcycle
Black Widow already has one, and it sounds like you’ll be able to ride an electric “Hog” soon.
Harley-Davidson Senior Vice President of Global Demand Sean Cummings tells the Milwaukee Business Journal that the company will have a battery-powered bike on sale within five years.
The decision comes two years after Harley-Davidson unveiled the Livewireelectric motorcycle concept, which was powered by a 74 hp and 52 lb-ft motor that was good for a sprint to 60 mph in less than four seconds, and a range of 53 miles per charge. It’s since been used by Scarlet Johansson’s character in the “Avengers” films.
Forty Livewires were built and brought on a tour of Harley-Davidson dealerships, where test rides were offered and feedback gathered from current and potential customers. Price and specifications for the production bike have not been revealed, but Cummins says it will have at least double the range of the Livewire.
It will need it to be competitive. Harley-Davidson rival Victory Motorcycles put its electric Empulse TT on sale late last year with a range of over 130 miles per charge for $19,999.

Laser-based broadband connection will let you watch Earth-based TV shows on the moon
A new Internet communications system for space has been tested for the second time, paving the way for faster extraterrestrial communication. (Photo : NASA) An Internet Wi-Fi system for the moon is significantly faster than home connections here on Earth. The Lunar Laser Communication Demonstration (LLCD) uses lasers to send Internet service around 239,000 miles from the Earth hto our lunar companion. Investigators were able to upload data at top speeds over 19 megabytes per second (Mbps), and download information at 600 Mbps. This would allow users on the lunar surface to copy more than 100 average songs every second. NASA uses radio waves to carry data to and from satellites, observatories and the International Space Station. As the need to transmit vast quantities of data becomes more common, this method of communication is less able to meet demands. Photographs and videos can already be transmitted on the test system, and developers are hoping to accommoda
Retro Robot from the 1920s May Get 2nd Chance at Life
Britain's first robot was a dazzling sight to behold, with broad shoulders, light-bulb eyes and a thick-barreled chest. On Sept. 20, 1928, Eric, as the robot was named, was unveiled before members of the Society for Model Engineers' annual convention. Weighing more than half a ton and requiring 35,000 volts of electricity, the impressive figure fascinated audiences. Eric then embarked on a tour that took him around the world, and the futuristic bot became an international sensation. But years later, Eric was lost, and his fate remains a mystery. Now, London's Science Museum is running a Kickstarter campaign in hopes of raising money to rebuild Eric. He will join more than 100 other bots that copy the human form (known as humanoid robots) as part of the museum's upcoming exhibit on robots. [ The 6 Strangest Robots Ever Created ] "Eric was everything you'd imagine a robot to be," said Ben Russell, lead curator for the exhibit, which will display

Amazon's vice president of Kindle, Peter Larsen, displays the Amazon Fire TV, which allows users to stream video, music, photos, games and more through their television. Now, when American families hit the couch at 8 p.m., the TV is no longer king. Dad might be watching the big game live on ESPN, but little Becky and Billy are huddled around the iPad, streaming the latest Pixar movie from Netflix. Meanwhile, mom is on her laptop binge-viewing the entire season of her favorite reality show. According to a 2013 survey, 51 percent of Americans between the ages of 13 and 54 watch a streaming TV show or movie every week [source: GFK ]. While some are happy to watch them on laptops , tablets or smartphones , a growing share wants to watch streaming video on their big-screen TVs. What is Amazon Fire TV? First, let's clear up some confusion. Amazon Fire TV is not a TV; it's a streaming set-top box. A set-top box connects your TV to the Internet so you can en
