World of science continues to evolve over time. The discovery of a series of studies also continue to be generated. Among them, 6 2012's best inventions.
TIME's best inventions version. TIME actually wrote 24 best inventions are divided into several categories that finding the price parameters, ranging from invaluable (priceless), free of charge up to U.S. $ 150, U.S. $ 200 - 500, U.S. $ 600 - 3 thousand, U.S. $ 22000-750000 and U.S. $ 1 million - 2.5 billion.
6 of the 24 best inventions reported by TIME, Thursday (01/11/2012) ago:
1. Indoor cloud
The picture was not modified but the program Photoshop creations Dutch artist, Berndnaut Smilde. Berndnaut developed a way to make a small cloud in the room.
Making the cloud must be carefully planned to meet the conditions: temperature, humidity and light.
Once all requirements are met, Berndnaut necessarily make artificial clouds from the air using a fog-producing machine. The cloud then last a while, moving and dramatic effect.
Value of this discovery are invaluable.
2. LiquiGlide
Ever hated that tapping the bottom of the bottle chili sauce, tomato sauce or soy sauce by half but would not go out through the mouth of the bottle?
5 Students Massachusets Institute of Technology (MIT) together with their professors, Kripa Varanasi, has found microscopic material that could pave the surface of the material glass, ceramics, metal to plastic.
This material can coat the bottle chili sauce and tomato to aircraft wings to maximize aerodynamic motion. No more tapping the bottom of the bottle your sauce.
Price of these findings when commercialized estimated at U.S. $ 25 per bottle ($ 250 thousand).
3. OraQuick, Rapid HIV TesterNo need to linger to know someone is infected with HIV or not. There are tools that can test it quickly, OraQuick, household appliance that can scale to identify antibody-containing saliva of HIV infection. The result can be obtained within 20 minutes.
The way the device works exactly the same equipment used by doctors in hospitals. In the OraQuick package also features a phone number that can be accessed 24 hours when customers are HIV positive. Price tool is about $ 40 (USD 400 thousand).
4. Eliodomestico, Solar Water Distillers
Freelance designer Gabriele Diamanti make solar water distiller tool. Hope Gabriele, this tool can be useful to people around the coast, particularly in poor countries and developing countries, to help provide clean water.
These devices are claimed to be less than half the water purifier now, and 67 percent more efficient. Gabriele wish there local manufacturers in developing countries to adopt open-source proprietary design for mass production for local residents. Price tool is estimated to be around U.S. $ 50 ($ 500 thousand).
5. Speaking Gloves4 Students Ukraine making gloves that can talk and hear. This tool can translate sign language, allows people with disabilities to communicate with ordinary people who do not understand sign language.
This glove has sensors that recognize sign language and translate it into a post on smart phones. The smart phone is then translated into a form of sound. Priced at about U.S. $ 75 (USD 750 thousand)
6. Bahar TowerIn Abu Dhabi, where temperatures can reach 38 degrees Celsius, keeping the building cool is a challenge.
Al Bahar Tower offers a facade that can manipulate the inside temperature.
When the temperature is hot enough, the facade of the building was closed and when it is not too hot, the outside facade of the building to open itself. This can reduce heat by up to 50 percent. Of course this is energy efficient because it reduces the use of air conditioning (AC), reducing the building's carbon emissions by 1,750 tons per year.
