The latest video from this multi-talented collective sees them head to the Vercors mountain range in their homeland, where they slice through the air on a 600m-high highline, reaching speeds of up to 75kph zipline-style before using their BASE-jumping skills to dismount with impressive grace and style. This is next generation ziplining like you've never experienced before!

Shinkansen Bullet Train, fastest train - Japan

Japan has made a train faster than a bullet! Shinkansen is the term used to describe bullet trains in Japan and it literally means “new trunk line.” Sometimes referred to as “super express” services in English, Shinkansen trains mostly run on dedicated tracks and stop only at major stations. They are operated by Japan Railways (JR) Group companies and feature some of the fastest trains in the world, traveling at up to 320 kilometers per hour. Bullet Train Japan’s high speed bullet trains, also known as Shinkansen trains, offer visitors an experience like no other with speeds reaching up to 320 km/hr!

Wind turbine that has no moving parts

This new wind turbine wobbles elegantly in the wind, generating electricity without rotating blades. “It looks like asparagus,”  says   David Suriol , one of the founders. A Spanish company called  Vortex Bladeless  has produced a wind turbine that takes advantage of the vortices produced when wind moves around an obstacle. If you put any object in the path of the wind, it will create an undulating vortex behind the barrier. This is a problem that has plagued engineers for years:  bridges have fallen  due to wind eddies.  Vortex Bladeless engineers have designed their turbine to take advantage of this vortex. The thin, cone-shaped turbine is made of carbon fiber and fiberglass with the motor at the bottom instead of the top (like traditional turbines) to improve sturdiness. The design ensures that the wind's vortex spins synchronously along the entire cone. “The swirls have to work together to achieve good performance,” Villarreal  explains . There is also a ring
