Hii guys, long time no see. Huft,
busy cause of my daily course. BUT today I decided to share these info, because
for me it’s a good invention anyway.
When
I read articles in dailymail.co.uk, forum.compas.com, I found these articles.
First,
Mr Pearce found and reinvented the wheel of bike. He said that he’s inspired to
do this idea when he saw a mother try and push a child in a buggy up a kerb.
'In 2007 I was sitting in an airport in Holland, and I noticed
when a mother pushed a pushchair against a kerb, the baby was pushed forward.
The Loopwheel works using three heavy duty springs instead
of spokes. When the rider hits a bump, the springs compress to give a smooth
ride
The biggest problem we've found so far is that you
tend to ride through bumps quickly, slowing down for corners becomes a problem
and you end up riding so fast.
Second, the california scientists had
already create glowing plants using fireflies and glow worms. They want to
extend this research and create alternative to electric street lightning. The genes used in the Glowing Plant project are
taken from glow worms and fireflies that create natural light through what's
called bioluminescence. The genes are added to agrobacteria, and this
agrobacteria transfers these genes to the plants, which makes them
glow-in-the-dark.
The team were inspired by fireflies and glow worms that
both produce what's called bioluminescence. Bioluminescence
is the process that makes these creatures produce naturally-occurring light
from their bodies.
The team start off by getting glowing protein enzymes called
Luciferase, from the genes of fireflies or from bacteria.
They then use software called Genome Compiler to make it
possible for the plants to read what those genes are.
The genes are then made in labs and shipped to the team in
California.
Evans and his team put these genes
into liquid agrobacteria and the bacteria is poured over the plants. Agrobacteria
is able to transfer genes into plants, and when these glowing genes are added,
they are transferred to the plants, which makes them
glow-in-the-dark.
To create these genes, the scientists have had to redesign the DNA
sequence.
They have successfully managed to create small glowing
plants and are now asking for extra funding, via a Kickstarter campaign, to use
the technology on larger plants and trees.
The campaign ends on 7 June.So far it has had more than 5,000 backers and raised over
£183,000.
Third, indonesian
collegers invented batteries made from Kaktus Centong (Opuntia cochenillifera). the
proccess of making this batteries is easy anyway. The cactus were blended
first, then put in on the batteries place, put bot anode and cathode polar made
by zinc. Each cels contain 1,6 volt. 2
batteries called batuscen connected paralel release energy untill 19,2 volt as
we need it to switch 25 LED lamp or a digital clock. Needed 12 cactus for 2
batteries.
I wonder if these invention will be mass producted and be a usefull for human life ,
especially replace the street lamp with glowing plants. :D
