日本的全自动自行车停车场

由. Ken Wong 将文章归档于 神乎科技

　　日本的机械技术早已令人惊叹，但你可别以为它只用来做机械人。事实上，日本的机械技术早就被大量应用于民用设备里，从马桶到停车场。说到停车场，之前 你或许听说过日本已经有全自动化的停车场，你只需要把车停在指定的位置，剩下的工作会由停车场自动操作完成。现在我们来看看日本的另一种全自动化停车场， 这一次不是汽车，而是自行车。

　　在日本要找个合法的自行车停车位可不容易，尤其是在车站里。很多骑自行车到车站的人常常会因为没有地方停车而苦恼。因此日本在东京的Kasai车站推 出了一种全自动化的自行车停车场，可停泊9400部自行车。这种停车场是全机械及自动化的，你所要做的只是将自行车放在指定位置，再按下按钮，停车场会自 动把你的自行车存放至空闲位置；当你取车时，也只需按一下按钮，你的自行车就会自动被传送至你面前：



　　不要以为这种如此先进的停车场收费很贵，事实上每天的停车费只需要1美元左右，包月也只需18美元左右。在全面禁摩的广州，何年何月才会有这种东西出 现？这可能近乎于幻想了，因为广州在禁摩后，连自行车道也没有划分，自行车往往要走机动车道或人行道，更不要说停车场了。囧

Green building is bursting at the seams in New York, and if you don’t believe me, just read Green Buildings NYC. The REDD Group shot us an email of a project they’re working on in Brooklyn (or more specifically, Vinegar Hill and Dumbo) called 100 Gold. They tell us 100 Gold is one of the first green residential developments in the area, which is surprising considering all the activity I read about on gbNYC. The 10-unit, condo building will open a model apartment on Earth Day, April 22, 2009. Here is what to expect from 100 Gold:

• Radiant floor heating
• Energy-efficient mechanical systems
• Operable floor-to-ceiling windows
• Abundant interior natural light
• Energy Star appliances
• Water-efficient dual-flush toilets
• Zero-VOC Ivy Coatings paints
• Recycled finishing materials
• Locally-made hand blown glass light fixtures
• Roof pavers made from 100% recycled tires
• Rooftop gardens with landscaping and deck

The place will have free storage, a 15-year tax abatement, and bicycle storage, etc. In total, 100 Gold comprises six one bedroom units, two duplex studios—one with a private yard, and two duplex apartments with one bedroom, loft, and private terraces. Current prices range from $525k - $935k.
