British Electric Hypercar Impresses By Defying Gravity With System That Generates Vacuum And Allows Stability Even Upside Down

An impressive image, worthy of science fiction films, showed the McMurtry Spéirling completely still — upside down. The feat was made possible by an exclusive system developed by British manufacturer McMurtry Automotive.

The Spéirling is a single-seat electric hypercar. Its name, which means “storm” in Irish, was chosen in honor of the native language of the company’s founder, David McMurtry.

The car caught attention not only for its futuristic look but also for its ability to remain stable even in an inverted position.

Exclusive System Creates Vacuum Under The Vehicle

The feat results from the Downeyforce-on-Demand system, patented by McMurtry itself. According to the company, it is capable of creating a vacuum under the car’s floor.

This negative pressure is sufficient to generate a force greater than gravity, which allows the vehicle to remain suspended upside down.

McMurtry explains that, while other hypercars and race cars can only generate downforce at high speeds through aerodynamic surfaces, the Spéirling achieves the same effect even when stationary. This makes it unique in the segment.

Acceleration From 0 To 100 Km/h In 1.5 Seconds

In addition to the innovative grip system, the Spéirling also impresses with its performance. It can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 1.5 seconds. Even with the current spotlight, the British startup is already planning improvements for the model.

The company’s goal is to produce 100 units of the hypercar by 2026. However, technical updates will still be made, such as the development of a battery with greater capacity.

In the cold desert of Ladakh, where it hardly rains, engineer Sonam Wangchuk created the ice stupa, a tower that freezes winter water and stores it for irrigating crops in the spring, a simple engineering feat that mimics nature.

Almost 6,000 residents live concentrated along a single street nearly 9 km long in the interior of Poland. Houses form a continuous row, and behind them, narrow agricultural strips emerge, creating one of the most unusual rural patterns in Europe.

They planted a sea of eucalyptus to produce cellulose, but the monoculture turned into a green desert, dried up springs and rivers, and pushed families out of regions in Minas Gerais and Bahia.

Júlia Pimentel, an 11-year-old from Minas Gerais, independently invented a new formula to calculate the square root using simple addition and multiplication, and her method was published in one of the most important mathematical scientific journals in Brazil.

Chinese woman planted trees for decades while sand buried part of her house, received $5,000 from an American in 1999, and helped transform the desert into a forest of 8 million trees in China.

Heir bought 23,000 degraded acres in the Scottish Highlands, fenced the area, planted nearly 1 million native trees, and transformed empty mountains into a forest officially recognized after meeting 15 evaluation criteria over 20 years.

The Atacama Desert, the driest place on Earth, was covered in flowers and turned into a colorful carpet with more than 200 species in the phenomenon called “desert bloom,” when atypical rains awaken seeds that had remained dormant in the soil for many years.
