Unique scientific inventions in 2005

Motorcycles run on hydrogen

Type of ENV motorbike running at 80 km / h, no noise generated by using hydrogen fuel, only need to be loaded with a 140 g weight of hydrogen (cost 4 USD), heavy ENV 90 kg can run continuously on a 150 km long road.

Researched for 3 years by Intelligent Energy, ENV models will be launched at the end of 2006.

Wheels do not need car tires

The wheel called Tweel of the Michelin Group, France only includes a hard rubber layer wrapped around a capsule made of elastic and high-strength polyurethane. The gas will be compressed between the rubber and metal wheels. When the car runs, it is the gas layer and the polyurethan capsules that will bear the force and dampen the car. With this invention, there will no longer be any gaps in the car when a vehicle causes a traffic accident.

Self-propelled personal cars

is a private car only 1.8 m high and 1 m horizontal, made of biodegradable materials, designed and manufactured by Toyota and Japan corporations. A special feature is the individual I-Unit car powered by electric power, which can be automatically pulled out longer when running at 40 km / h and shortened when running at a speed of 5-10 km / hours. This is considered the ideal type of personal transport in the future in big cities because it does not cause environmental pollution and does not cause congestion.

Aircraft flying around the world without refueling

Designed by airline specialist Burt Rutan (father of civilian space ship Space ShipOne), the twin-body aircraft called Virgin Atlantic GlobalFlyer has successfully launched a round-the-world flight on March 1 2005 after taking off from an airport in Kansas City, USA and passing 37,000 km around the world in 57 hours 2 minutes and 35 seconds without fuel supplies.

Portable water filter device

Life Straw is a tube-shaped portable water purifier that has been researched by Swiss pharmaceutical group Vestergaard Frandsen. Can filter ponds, lakes, rivers and streams into clean water thanks to 7 different filtration systems such as mesh, activated carbon, iodine . Life Straw device can filter once to 700 liters of water and is a type of device personal water purification is indispensable in areas where natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods and storms occur . The price of a Life Straw water purifier is 3 USD and will be sold on the market. in 2006.

Robots that support muscles for people

HAL is an acronym for the robot system to support human muscles, helping older people, those who are sick about the limbs can stand by themselves. HAL can also help ordinary people carry heavy objects to travel on all terrain. A system of interconnected robot arms and legs will be inserted into the user's hands and feet and controlled from a microprocessor connected to a small computer. The sensors installed along the robot's limbs will affect the microprocessor when the user moves the limbs and activates the computer to order the robot limbs to operate. This is the invention of scientists working at the University of Tsukuba University, Japan.

Robot keeps Apri Alpha home

As a product of Toshiba Electronics, Japan, Apri Alpha robots can recognize the voice of homeowners and relatives living in the home. When a stranger appears in the house, Apri Alpha will issue questions to check the voice. If unlike the recorded voice in memory, it will broadcast the police closest to home.

Waterproof paper

Ecology Coating, the United States has built a chemical used to produce waterproof paper that is 500 times cheaper than paper of the same nature. This new material is a nano coating capable of forming a waterproof membrane around each sheet of paper. This substance does not create a thick film covering the paper so it does not alter the characteristic surface properties of the paper. Any kind of paper soaked in a solution of the coating can also become waterproof paper. This new technology will be widely available in 2006.

Bikini protects skin

British scientists have created a bikini called Tan-Timer that has a special feature. It had an electronic clock after every 15 minutes made a sound to remind the sunbathers on the beach to change themselves to avoid burning the skin. Bikini Tan - Times is priced at £ 20 and is available at New Look stores in the UK.

Room in the wheel

An architectural firm in Viene, Austria has created a unique type of house. AllesWirdGut's 'tumOn' prototype incorporates four different living spaces into a single wheel-shaped room. Architects hope this idea will stimulate builders to review current housing standards - the standard they think is almost negligible over the past 2,000 years. In the tumOn room, the architects arranged four different living spaces along one axis, one after another and then curled this shaft into a ring. A person in the room could just sit on a chair in the living room, while on his head was the table of the dining room hanging on the wall.

Anti-theft with bad smell

To combat crooks, the Tri-dentTripleAction (England) built a unique body defense device. It was a small spray, containing a terrible smell of dust.

When the user presses on the bottle cap, the triggered alarm ring emits a sound of 138 decibels, while the dust that is sprayed adheres to the skin, clothes and is difficult to clean. This substance works to confuse the crook and create time for the thief to handle the situation. Those who managed to escape the Trident Triple Action attack were also easily found if someone smelled his strong smell, and the police with the help of the professional dog would find him easily. The device costs $ 26.

Robot dance

Japanese researchers have built a robot that can swing on the floor by guessing your move. The dance robot called PBDR, in the shape of a woman, has a sensor around the waist and can move in all directions on three wheels hidden in a prom dress.

When you jump, the robot will analyze his movements and the corresponding movements by shoulder, elbow, waist and neck. High PBDR, 65 cm, weighs 100 kg and has 2 red and green outfits. The male version is continuing to be developed.

Kazuhiro Kosuge, the head of the research, said the robot does not yet have sharp movements and is really rich to suit people. But it is a stepping stone to another direction of development: Robots care for the elderly.
