From The Ocean Floor To Space Missions

The applications of Velox are vast and exciting. We’re talking about exploration in deep waters, rescues in icy areas, wildlife filming, and even extraterrestrial missions, such as NASA’s exploration of Europa. It’s a lot of technology and innovation in one package!

Safety And Maneuverability

Besides being a technological marvel, the flexible and undulating fins of Velox offer unparalleled maneuverability and safety. It is the ideal choice for studying and mapping challenging environments, whether in the depths of the ocean or in the most rugged terrains.

Safety And Maneuverability

Libya built over 4,000 kilometers of underground pipelines to bring water from the Sahara to coastal cities in a project that the government itself called the Eighth Wonder of the World.

Desert sand, previously discarded for being too smooth for concrete, becomes an ecological brick in the United Arab Emirates, dispensing with Portland cement, curing at room temperature, and attempting to transform dunes useless for construction into raw material for a new arid engineering.

He transformed an abandoned plastic water tank into an underground house in the “hobbit hole” style, using only repurposed pallet wood, without heavy machinery or expensive labor.

China transforms desert-devastated area into the world’s largest artificial forest, planting trees for 60 years, blocking sand that reached Beijing, and creating a “green lung” of 92,000 hectares in a region once considered lost.

Toyota launches “family hybrid van” with 7 or 8 seats, 1.8 hybrid engine, fuel consumption of up to 23.8 km/l, and a price equivalent to about R$ 104,000 without taxes, below the Tiggo 8 Pro Plug-in Hybrid sold in Brazil: meet the Noah Hybrid 2026 in Japan.

With 70 tons of rock removed by hand and an 800-year-old abandoned cave, a former businessman transforms a dark shelter into a modern home carved in the heart of the forest.

Engine without traditional cylinder head could change the future of hybrids: Aramco creates DHE technology that simplifies mechanics, promises to reduce consumption by up to 25%, and challenges decades of evolution in combustion engines.

Son finds father’s forgotten notebooks and helps scientists solve the mystery of a 55-million-year-old marine fossil that remained unanswered for almost three decades.

While other coffees escape the American tariff hike, Brazilian instant coffee is excluded, raising an alert in the sector and may become up to 37.5% more expensive in the United States.

Central Bank changes rule that lasted decades and allows dollar and euro accounts in Brazil for exporters and companies with foreign capital, eliminating the need for currency exchange in some transfers starting in October 2026.

The “Chinese invasion” has arrived: BYD already dominates almost 45% of the electric buses registered in Brazil in May 2026, while 80% of the entire electric fleet in the country is concentrated in São Paulo with 1,300 vehicles.

From toy to track machine: Koenigsegg Sadair’s Spear made with over 327,000 Lego pieces reaches 111 km/h and surpasses the former Bugatti Chiron record.
