Inventing strange monsters exclusively for aliens

Egg incubators, four-legged recliner . are unique inventions to serve the life of aliens.
Decoding the mystery of aliens is the dream of many scientists. Until now, no scientist has dared to assert the true appearance of aliens.

Therefore, many projects have been proposed by researchers and professors to train creative thinking, breakthroughs in the inventions of future scientists.

From the idea of ​​the new alien alien .

One of the strange but extraordinary science projects of MIT students (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) published in October 1952 has helped scientists have a new perspective on aliens.

Specifically, they designed Metan-compatible products - a fictional alien "invention" by MIT mechanical professor John E.rnold around 1950.

He assumes that these alien Metan live on the fourth planet of a real star named Arcturus. Planet Arcturus IV does not exist water, instead of ammonia and the main component in the air is methane.

Metanian appearance is the highest evolutionary form of birds. Instead of mammals like humans, Metan's head is like a bird's head, with beaks with long arms (formerly wings) and very light due to its hollow bone structure.

Metan's body is covered with a soft coat, however, they wear clothes like Earth people. The legs of the Metanian race are long and hoofed like horse clogs.

One outstanding feature of Methane is its ability to visualize like X-rays - that is, they can see through all matter by possessing a third eye on their foreheads.

Along with that, the Metan lay eggs, not lay children like humans. With special gravity in the planet Arcturus IV, Metanians will have 11 times the weight of their real weight on Earth. In other words, a person weighing 5kg on Earth will weigh about 55kg in planet Arcturus IV.

To be able to invent useful products for Methane, the students participating in the science project have carefully studied the differences in their living environment and compared with the real human life on the Left. land.

Just like the Earth people, a person with methane can only lift a heavy object up to twice its body weight. Metan people are very light weight, the heaviest person is only 7.7kg on Earth, so the materials used in the objects must be carefully selected to not exceed 16kg. Iron and steel are both unpopular in objects and even buildings, instead of aluminum, titanium and plastic.

. until "weird" inventions that cater exclusively to this alien race

As expected of scientists, many strange ideas were born. One of the most talked about inventions is the portable incubator to protect and hatch the young eggs before the eggs hatch.

Many scientists believe that, before, eggs are still carried by aliens in their pockets - easily broken. This invention is quite realistic, will help them get the best protection for their children.

The image simulates a resident of Metan who is pushing an incubator.

The portable egg incubator is shaped like a 3-wheel baby stroller: 2 big rear wheels, and a small front wheel. The cage is used until the egg hatches into "newborn baby".

Because one year in the planet Arcturus IV equals 49 years on Earth, the newborn baby Metan becomes an adult in just about a year.

When the child was 10 years old, the shape and health were very old. Methane also does not live long because of climate and the environment here is very harsh.

An equally monstrous design is the recliner below. For Earth people, this chair looks weird and very . uncomfortable. To test it out, some students have wondered to build the real version of this recliner.

The recliner is designed based on the typical size and shape of a Metan. Due to the oversized arms, the armrests should be low, and can be lower than the seats to create comfort when the Metan hands put their hands.

The comfort of the seat is also carefully calculated, which helps "long legs" methane can stretch and shrink properly. The chair is made of plastic (seat side) and magnesium alloy (chair leg).

Besides this reclining chair, MIT students also expressed their innovations with the chair as the current style bar chair. Accordingly, in addition to the seat, the chair is also designed to help residents of Metan be able to use it for fatigue.

After commenting on these ideas, scientists also revealed that Metanians are very patient, intelligent and love art. However, compared to humans, they are quite slow.

Metan people walk at 400m / hr and their reaction time to each thing is about 2 seconds. This is also an important point to note for the students to follow up on the idea of ​​designing machines for Methane.

Returning to reality, scientists believe that, although these are just inventions that serve a fictional alien race, the students have come up with many unique and novel ideas.

This shows that the introduction of new science projects will help stimulate students' creative minds, training their ability to overcome challenges.
