The MULTIHOG?

Revolutionary Vehicle!

Swansea council here in South-Wales have bought into this unique vehicle, known as the MULTIHOG. One is not sure which exact type this is, but with forty applications available it is a good machine for multi-purpose work.

Designed by the Dundalk Science institute in County-Louth Republic of Ireland back in 2007, it was for the recovery of missing and strayed golf balls. But from 2010 it was marketed in the U.K. and now some one-hundred and fifty machines are in service doing a variety of roles.

The initial impression of the vehicle, is that it has a traction and movement to a former Finnish military vehicle which was on a much larger scale developed back in the 1970;s will little success beyond experimental stages because of it unusual shape?

Easter Eggs.

The appliance of Science.

Eggs are a unique object in nature, as much as the snowflake! They are shaped to survive being knocked about, while the Snowflake to be able to interconnect with others to form snow.

Much research has been done from the transportation of eggs to using its structure in machines, basically in metal tolerance to impact at certain angles. Even our chocolate Easter eggs some times require a hammer to crack them and I expect their will be a few tears this season in relation to size and quantity, since they have been getting smaller over the years?

Perhaps its my hands that have been getting bigger?

Many light structures from racing cars to aviation have encompassed what has been learned from the humble egg in relation to stress on impact and safety being the priority. So remember this Easter the humble egg and what it has played in improving our world?
