Futurism & Inspiring Inventions
Off the cost of Isla Mujeres Bay in Cancun, Mexico, environmentalist and architect Richart Sowa lives comfortably on his island made of over 150,000 recycled water bottles. Sowa first built his floating abode in 2005, but harsh weather destroyed the island. On his third attempt of rebuilding his home— this time in calm waters—he succeeded in developing a sturdy home.
“Vertical City” is a controversial vision; some consider it unrealistic and techno-utopian. But the more one looks at it, the more sense it makes. It’s much more efficient to move people vertically, where there is perhaps ten feet between units, than it is horizontally, where you need serious infrastructure.
The “Vision Next 100” concept car is a luxurious, self-driving, emissions free, sports car with an overall futuristic finish and wheels that look like speakers.
The hybrid electric flying car that’s been a dream for so long is finally taking shape. Terrafugia announced that they expect to have a prototype for their computer-controlled electric aerial vehicle called the TF-X released within two years.
This ASAP Science Video has been watched by over 4 million people — Check out what things may look like ten centuries from now!
Could vaccines be delivered to humans via mosquito bite. In that case Genetically Modified insects ( or tiny insect like drones) could “bite” and there would be no opportunity to decline. Are the current viral epidemics a good opportunity to develop and implement this process which has been discussed for several years? All excellent questions. What do you think?
Some inventions don’t really affect our day to day lives. These ones do. Check out #5!
Tesla always has something up their sleeve. The latest seems to be cool new electric vehicles. Check it out!
When it comes to genetic engineering, reality is starting to look more and more like what was once just science fiction. This well-documented article asks all the right questions and provides a lot of answers.
DARPA is launching a new military program using an implant to connect the human brain to a computer. Although there may be some applications that could restore sight or hearing to those without the military use of the Neural Engineering System Design (NESD) is the reason behind the Human Brain project and the US Brain Initiative.
a secretive unveiling of a potential electric car for the future or a prototype that could help China defeat its pollution problems and offer the US a way to switch out of gasoline, (if it is permitted to do so by the oil companies).
The Ehang 184 is a drone designed to carry a passenger. No pilots license necessary. The drone does it all, taking the passenger to the destination entered on the touch screen using the safest fastest route while communicating with air traffic control, other aircraft, avoiding obstacles and even hovering in place. Cost will be $200,000 to $300,000 US. Be the first on your block to own one!
A new find by Nikola Tesla- a hand drawn Map of Multiplication using base 12 mathematics makes math simple. No memorization necessary. Read the article and try out the “map”. Advanced technology makes math simple. a Tells about patterns in mathematics that are the key to simplicity. Base 12 math was in practice in ancient times. Tesla was a genius.
The composition the tooth paste is similar to the tooth enamel, the only difference is that it is liquid. Thus it can easily be applied with a toothbrush.
Scientists have developed a working laboratory demonstrator of a lithium-oxygen battery which has very high energy density, is more than 90% efficient, and, to date, can be recharged more than 2000 times, showing how several of the problems holding back the development of these devices could be solved, and would enable an electric car with a battery that is a fifth the cost and a fifth the weight of those currently on the market to drive from London to Edinburgh on a single charge.
