What Is Hovertrain A hovertrain is a kind of high-speed train that substitutes traditional steel wheels with hovercraft lift pads. Additionally, the standard railway bed is replaced with a paved road-like surface that is known as the track or guideway. The purpose of the idea is to reduce the complexity of the infrastructure required to install new lines while simultaneously eliminating rolling resistance and enabling very high performance. The word "hovertrain" is more of a general phrase, and the specific vehicles are often called to by the project titles under which they were created. In the United Kingdom, these vehicles are referred to as tracked hovercraft, whereas in the United States, they are known as tracked air-cushion vehicles. In France, Jean Bertin (1917-1975) was the first person to design a hovertrain. In France, these trains were marketed as the Aérotrain until the French government decided to terminate the project.

Ustean Cong wasn't the smartest kid on the block, he was the juvenile male genius on the block. In that particular attribute, he was closely rivaled by Albertyne Lisbon, who lived next door. As a result of winning the POTE Prize (People of the Earth) for Youth Scientific Advancement, both the Lisbon and Cong families had been invited to bring their gifted children to the nation's capital to be trained in mind control and scientific mind development. They were part of the SMCAD scheme, (Scientific Mind Control And Development). Ustean and Albertyne had been lucky enough to be among those chosen to represent their country at the Annual Vitrolite Scientific Quantum Leap Convention, held in Bandosia, which city was considered outstanding to the Vitroleans, since it was rainbow coloured at the surface, quite unique on the planet. But what untoward event aboard the Mothership Gasguzzler Galactic bound for Bandosia, Capital City of the planet Vitrolite, threatened to halt the convention?

The best backyard experiments for hands-on science learning The Ultimate Book of Saturday Science is Neil Downie's biggest and most astounding compendium yet of science experiments you can do in your own kitchen or backyard using common household items. It may be the only book that encourages hands-on science learning through the use of high-velocity, air-driven carrots. Downie, the undisputed maestro of Saturday science, here reveals important principles in physics, engineering, and chemistry through such marvels as the Helevator—a contraption that's half helicopter, half elevator—and the Rocket Railroad, which pumps propellant up from its own track. The Riddle of the Sands demonstrates why some granular materials form steep cones when poured while others collapse in an avalanche. The Sunbeam Exploder creates a combustible delivery system out of sunlight, while the Red Hot Memory experiment shows you how to store data as heat. Want to learn to tell time using a knife and some butter? There's a whole section devoted to exotic clocks and oscillators that teaches you how. The Ultimate Book of Saturday Science features more than seventy fun and astonishing experiments that range in difficulty from simple to more challenging. All of them are original, and all are guaranteed to work. Downie provides instructions for each one and explains the underlying science, and also presents experimental variations that readers will want to try.

Dante Valentine, Necromancer and bounty hunter, just wants to be left alone. But the Devil has other ideas. The Prince wants Dante. And he wants her now. And Dante and her lover, Japhrimel, have no choice but to answer the Prince's summons. And to fulfill a seemingly simple task: become the Devil's Right Hand, hunt down four demons that have escaped from Hell, and earn His gratitude. It's a shame that nothing is ever easy when it comes to the Devil. Because of course, he doesn't tell Dante the whole truth: there is a rebellion brewing in Hell. And there is a good chance that Lucifer is about to be pushed off the throne. But Dante is getting really tired of being pushed around. And this time, she might be angry enough to take on the Devil himself. . .
