Verito is the new Mahindra Logan

Posted: 26 Apr 2011 06:00 AM PDT

Indian car maker (that specializes in Tractor manufacturing) broke up with the French automaker, Renault a year ago and has renamed its popular 'Logan' as 'Verito'. Mahindra has also decided to drop the 'Renault' logo from its car. "We are delighted to announce that the Logan will now be called the Verito. It will sport the Mahindra badge and emblem," the company said in a statement.

The company did not announce any price change yet. Currently, the Logan sells at price range of Rs.4.67 lakh and Rs 6.47 for different models. Renault has agreed to support the car and supply the key components and accessories.

What's your take on Verito?

Self Balancing Bicycle Demo

Posted: 26 Apr 2011 05:13 AM PDT

Professor Andy Ruina is a mechanical engineer and cyclist and also a professor at Cornell University. He spent over 25 years figuring out why a bicycle can't balance on its own. He's finally figured out why it happens and also has a solution. When we are riding a bicycle, we think we are riding in a straight line, however, when the CG of cycle falls to the left, we counter it by steering to the left and when it falls to the right, we steer to the right to make sure that the CG of cycle stays right in the middle.
