Noah: The Futuristic Unicycle
The future of motorcycles seem to balance on one wheel as this is the second concept of a “unicycle” motorcycle that hits the news; the first one was the UNO. The Noah was also designed by a youngster, Andrei Franca from Belo Horizonte, Brazil and it came as runner up in the Plascar Automotive Design Contest. This unicycle has two wheels that adjust according to the way the driver takes a turn.

Isolated Amazon Tribe Is Found
Amazon Indians are one of the most cut off tribes of the world. One of these tribes were spotted for the first time by westerners today by a helicopter of the Survival International organisation near the Brazil-Peru border.
They have never seen helicopters before so they are pointing their bows and arrows towards the “big bird” in the sky. Some times I think that they are better off without the influence of the modern world. Nevertheless these photos do make me feel a bit like the first settlers, as they would have met a similar greeting from the frightened natives.

Brazilian Invents Light Bulb That Does Not Need Electricity
Some times luck or an accident can create the next breakthrough in science and change our life’s. A guy in Brazil took an empty plastic bottle, filled it with water and a bit of Clorox (Bleach) and left it under the sun. The sun caused a chemical reaction to the compound and the bottle turned into a 60 watt strong light bulb.
Watch the video below for more details.

UNASUR: South American Regional Union Is Now Established
It seems that the example of the European Union is being repeated and this time a few thousand miles away, in South America. The twelve most prominent nations in South America (Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, Paraguay, Peru, Suriname, Uruguay and Venezuela) met in Brazil’s capital, Brasilia, to form the Union of South American Nations (UNASUR).
It will take a lot of time and energy to reach the level of unity of the EU as many of the participant states have to solve a lot of issues between them.
This “new country” has a population of 361 million and its “capital” will be Brasilia.
