''Falx' is a Latin word originally meaning sickle, but was later used to mean any of a number of tools that had a curved blade that was sharp on the inside edge such as a scythe. The word is also associated with certain birds of prey due to the sickle shaped leading edge of the wings when diving or at high speed.

"It is not good enough to follow conventional methods of design.

It is essential to invent and involve new methods and new ideas

The cost of conventional fuels, such as petroleum and natural gas, are soaring and the impact on both consumer goods and food are now steadily increasing making it even more difficult for our worlds population to be maintained.

The sales of road vehicles are increasing every year while our current road & rail infrastructures are failing to cope with the demands of an actively mobile, global population with more land being consumed to make way for transport needs and billions  spent trying to cope with delays.
