This is the first picture I upload which was taken using my new phone. I got out, and when I looked up there, I laid down and quickly took the picture. It was also edited in Lightroom Mobile.

Esta es la primera foto que subo entre las tomadas con mi nuevo celular. Al salir, miré arriba, me acosté y rápidamente tomé la foto. También fue editada desde el celular, en Lightroom Mobile.
It's Series 8 time again!
Remember the CMF S6 Habitat? We're back!
This time I'm only building one module for the Evil Robot. I don't have the Evil Robot, so Good Robot is standing by for his friend.
This is somehow a remake of an old picture which I really liked, taken on my first camera (Canon SX120 IS). Every single time I go past this passage, I thought about taking another picture of it.

De alguna forma, esta imagen es un "remake" de una foto tomada con mi primera cámara (Canon SX120 IS). Cada vez que paso por ahí, pienso en hacer otra foto.
The Sunbeam S8 is a British motorcycles designed by Erling Poppe based on the BMW R75 designs that were acquired by BSA (together with the full rights to the Sunbeam brand) at the end of World War II. This example, registration LLC 333, is being displayed as part of the Shuttleworth Collection at Old Warden aerodrome in Bedfordshire. It is seen during the 2015 Wheels and Wings Show.
Built in Redditch, the engine layout was an unusual in-line 500 cc twin which drove a shaft drive to the rear wheel. The inline engine made this technologically feasible - horizontally-opposed ("flat") twin engines on BMW motorcycles had already used shaft drives. The earlier S7 was expensive and over-engineered, which is why it is now the most sought-after and commands a premium over the S8, which was produced with fewer features to reduce costs, while retaining many of the innovative parts of the early Sunbeam and updating some ideas.
Only 2,104 of the original S7 "Tourer" were produced, in 1946-48. In 1949 it was updated to become the S7 de luxe (5,554 produced) and the S8 (8,530 produced). Both had new cylinder linings, redesigned frames and increased oil capacity.
The S8 was sold as a "sports" model with increased performance from higher compression pistons with a top speed of 85 mph. It also had new forks, a cast aluminum silencer and chromed wheels (with narrower tyres to replace the "balloon" tyres which had led to uncertain handling at speed).
Erling Poppe’s design was originally based on a captured BMW R75 but Sunbeam did not want the S series to look too "German", so an in-line OHC, parallel twin was designed instead of a flat twin "across the frame". Serious problems with vibration made the new Sunbeam bikes uncomfortable to ride, but the excessive vibration was cured by mounting the engine on two bonded rubber engine mounts.
The inline engine was inherently suitable for shaft drive, and BMW-style bevel gears would have been ideal. However, having inherited some worm-gear machinery from Lanchester Motors, BSA opted to specify worm drive rather than bevel gears. Worm gears were entirely unsuitable, since the direction of transmission (input shaft vs output shaft) is not reversible when using large reduction ratios. Inevitably, this created problems with the shaft drive, as the gears tended to strip under power. Reviewing this problem, Sunbeam's classic British botch engineering "solution" was to reduce the power to 24 bhp(!) which, unsurprisingly, did nothing to help sales...

De tweede generatie van de Audi S8 kwam in 2006 op de markt op basis van de Audi A8 D3. De auto heeft een 5,2-liter V10-motor met directe benzine inspuiting en levert 331 kW (450 pk) en 540 Nm koppel. De 5.2 V10 FSI is gebaseerd op de V10 van de Lamborghini Gallardo en later ook verscheen in de Audi S6, maar dan met respectievelijk 435 pk. Alle bewegende onderdelen werden vervangen en alleen het aluminium onderblok komt overeen met de Lamborghini V10 die tevens ook door Audi gebouwd wordt. Door middel van een andere krukas toe te passen werd de slag van de zuigers met 2 millimeter vergroot, zodat de motor zo'n 0,2-liter meer cilinderinhoud heeft dan de origineel 5,0-liter metende V10 van Lamborghini. De Audi V10 heeft dan ook meer koppel dan de Lamborghini V10, hoewel deze weer meer vermogen ontwikkelt. De motor werd voorzien van directe benzine inspuiting wat gelijk ook een hoge compressieverhouding mogelijk maakt (12,5:1). Andere vernieuwingen zijn onder andere variabele kleptiming, een inlaatspruitstuk met aanvoerbuizen van variabele lengte en kleppen in de luchtinlaat voor optimalisering van de aangevoerde lucht. Dit alles zorgt er voor dan het maximale koppel over een zeer breed toerenberijk beschikbaar is.
Over een sprint van 0 tot 100 km/h doet de S8 5,1 seconden en de auto is zoals gebruikelijk begrensd op 250 km/h. Ook dit model is standaard voorzien van quattro vierwielaandrijving en is alleen leverbaar met een zes-traps Tiptronic automaat. De concurrentie komt uit de hoek van de Mercedes-Benz S 63 AMG, hoewel deze meer op comfort is afgestemd.
