LEGO Con 2022 342m1z
This past Saturday, June 18, the second edition of the LEGO Con, the event that shows the world the novelties of these toys that make children and many adults happy. The event, which lasted about two hours, broadcast interviews with the designers responsible for creating the LEGOs and even talked about the LEGO Masters project, which celebrates the company's 90th anniversary.
But the part that obviously excited the public the most was the revelations of the releases that were divided into two parts. The first to bring classic versions again and the other was for licensed titles like Avatar, Star Wars, Marvel, Super Mario and many others. Let's take a look at the highlights.
LEGO Lion Knight's Castle 2f5tj
LEGO's new medieval castle will be really big and detailed, one of the most anticipated models in the revamped lineup. It still has a miniature of the classic 1978 model. It will consist of 4.514 pieces and will be available for sale on August 3 at a cost of $400.
Lego minecraft 2f2t2n
LEGO is undoubtedly famous among children, but Minecraft isn't far behind either. So putting both together is definitely the formula for success. Two new Minecraft LEGOs will be on display: the skeleton dungeon, consisting of 364 pieces and costing 45 dollars, and also the abandoned village, with 422 pieces and costing 35 dollars. Both will be available from August 1st.
LEGO Star Wars on Disney+ d6863
Despite other news, we will also highlight the teaser that was shown for the special LEGO Star Wars Summer Vacation, which will be broadcast on the Disney Plus channel. In the new animation we will see Rey, Finn, Poe, Chewbacca and many other characters that we love, but now in LEGO. Production will be available on August 1st.
Electric vehicle charger robot 614e6b
The electric vehicle market is growing and along with it other technologies are also being extensively explored. one of them is the ZIGGY, manufactured by the company EV Safe Charge, the first electric car charging robot that will also offer screens on its exterior that display advertising.
ZiGGY was built to be located in strategic locations where electric vehicles can be recharged, such as in mall parking lots, hotels, entertainment centers and many others – or it can even be purchased for the car owner to use in specific locations.
This last option is still not so recommended, since the entire structure of the robot was built for commercial purposes, so it has screens that display ments. In partnership with Box Clever, the company responsible for the design of the ZiGGY, EV Safe Charge says she is pleased to offer an innovative device that helps advance the use of clean energy.
After the ZiGGY has done its work, it will automatically return to its charging base, which can be electrically powered, solar powered, or a combination of these. This is all with two screens displaying ments linked to the device before, during and after EV recharges.
Possible return of the zeppelin 6vz1j
Airships, also known as zeppelins, are flying vehicles that have not appeared in the skies of the world for many decades, but it looks like that will soon change. the spanish company Air Nostrum is building ten hybrid airship models to be offered in 2026.
Requested by a company that values the environment, Air Nostrum has already named the new vehicle Airlander. The company in question is Hybrid Air Vehicles, stating that the Airlander will be built with a drastic reduction of polluting agents, reaching about 90% in relation to flights in conventional planes.
The zeppelin will hold 100 engers, will be inflated with helium gas and will use electric thrusters, which allow it to reach between 300 and 400 km/h, according to the HAV. Despite its capacity, it is important to mention that the Airlander will fly at a lower speed than traditional planes, since it will travel at 130 km/h and other planes travel at around 800 km/h.
There is much expectation for the return of this model of vehicle, but there are also those who fear it in memory of the tragic accident with the Hindenburg in 1937 — the airship, which used the highly flammable hydrogen gas, was consumed by fire during the landing procedure at Lakehurst, New Jersey, in the United States. Despite that, the company H2 Clippers, for example, already uses airships to transport cargo, which can also be seen as a possible hope in the use of the vehicle for domestic and commercial trips. Will this be the return of the zeppelin? And you, would you like to travel in one of these flying vehicles?
