1. Floating light bulbs

Flight / $349

When Simon Morris was a child, he was obsessed with objects that floated in the air. At one point, he was able to turn a skateboard into a hoverboard, but according to his own memories, “he couldn’t ride it.”

Now his passion has helped create the light bulb - Flight. Just not the most common one. The Morris light bulb floats in the air, levitates. And it shines thanks to a resonant transformer - the technical term for wireless transmission power.

Simon himself believes that his invention is a great combination of science and art, which honors the traditions of pragmatists like Thomas Edison and dreamers like Nikola Tesla.

Morpher / $119

Like many cyclists, Jeff Wolf has experienced situations that could have crippled him if not for his helmet. So why, he wondered, did so many people refuse to carry it?

It turned out to be simple - they are too bulky and uncomfortable. They are difficult to carry because they do not fit into a backpack or bag. Wolfe solved this problem by creating a folding bicycle helmet. The result of his development was the Morpher. This bicycle helmet is made of woven plastic that is just as durable as its counterparts. It is flexible enough to fold almost completely flat. His idea raised almost $300,000 on Indiegogo. We hope Morpher will save lives.

3. Elon Musk's solar roof

Solar roof

Help the environment and save money? This is a dilemma that solar panel buyers have faced for many years. And now the answer has appeared: Tesla.

A solar roof is a series of tiles that, in addition to the function of a roof, carries the function of solar panels. At the same time, it cannot be distinguished from ordinary tiles. Although you can tell the difference, it looks even better.

4. Self-lacing sneakers

Nike Hyperadapt 1.0 / $720

Almost everyone who's seen Back to the Future wants three things: a time-traveling DeLorean, a working hoverboard, and a pair of self-lacing sneakers. Now, thanks to Nike, one of those things has become available. On the company's new sneakers, just press a button near the tongue and HyperAdapt 1.0 will automatically tighten the laces exactly on your foot. And although this technology may seem frivolous, it can actually be in demand among people with mobility impairments.

5. Football fields that fit anywhere

The Klong Toei area in central Bangkok is densely populated and built up accordingly. This fact does not allow creating new parks for people, let alone large rectangular fields on which children play football.

However, real estate firm AP Thailand approached it differently. Using aerial photography, the company found those places that are called “abandoned,” or simply put, not used due to their irregular shape. Then they covered them with concrete, paint, anti-slip materials and marked them according to all the rules of football. It turned out well!

6. Leading Virtual Reality Headset

PlayStation VR / $400

To gain access to the most advanced technology virtual reality, people typically had to shell out several thousand dollars. Sony changed everything with the release of PlayStation VR. It's designed to work with the console that millions of people own.

7. Replacement of cannabis tablets

Hmbldt Vape pens / $100

Millions of ordinary people rely on common doctor-prescribed remedies to combat insomnia and headaches. What if they used medical cannabis instead? For reference, it is already used for medicinal purposes. And on this moment, more and more states are legalizing medical marijuana as more and more research shows that it has certain benefits in the treatment of certain diseases and ailments.

California-based company Hmbldt has made a new vaporizer that dispenses cannabis oil to help people feel more relaxed, calm, sleepy and thus get rid of headaches. Note that the method has not yet been thoroughly tested by doctors.

8. Alarm clock

Hello Sense / $149

It's hard to believe that an alarm clock, that nasty, cruel gadget that wakes you up and only ruins your morning, can not only be beautiful, but also improve your sleep. Sense can measure the temperature, humidity, amount of light, and even air quality in your bedroom to help project your ideal sleep environment.

9. Tires that rotate in all directions

Eagle 360 ​​/ Designed by Goodyear

As companies race to develop self-driving cars, Goodyear is redesigning its wheels. Their spherical tire concept, which debuted in March, will allow cars to move in many directions, including sideways, facilitating parallel parking, and at certain angles and speeds, counteracting slippery surfaces. The key to the concept is magnetic levitation, the car floating above the wheels. Of course, with this design, steering is not provided, but is intended for steering without steering.Truly interesting!

10. Dishes for people with cognitive impairments

Eatwell / $60

After his late grandmother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, Sha Yao felt helpless. It was especially unpleasant, he recalls, when, while dining with her, he saw that, despite all her efforts, she spilled food on herself.

Inspired by his grandmother's plight, Yao created Eatwell. The lunch kit is designed for people with Alzheimer's disease and other diseases that affect the brain and body functions. According to the designer, bright colors help differentiate dishes and prevent spills, making dinner time more enjoyable and "bringing back the joy of sharing food together."

Technologies

Every year, Time magazine selects the best inventions that have made the world a better, smarter, and sometimes more fun place.

This year's list includes self-lacing sneakers, an all-in-one shelter, a space lab, and more.

Much of what was presented is already available for purchase, while other devices currently only exist in concept form.

New inventions of 2016

1. Flyte floating light bulb

Swedish scientist Simon Morris has been fascinated by levitation since childhood. He even managed to turn a skateboard into a hoverboard for flying above the ground.

Now he decided to create a levitating light bulb called Flyte, which floats and rotates thanks to electromagnetism and glows thanks to resonating induction coupling. The bulb has been a successful seller since it was released in January this year, and Morris plans to create a series of floating objects.

2. Morpher Folding Bicycle Helmet

British inventor Jeff Woolf, like many cyclists, also had an accident and the only thing that saved him was his helmet. However, many of his compatriots do not wear a helmet because it is too bulky and will not fit into a bag or backpack.

Wolfe solved this problem and created a foldable Morpher helmet made of woven plastic, as durable as traditional helmets, but flexible enough to fold almost flat and be easily carried.

3. Tesla Solar Roof

Many home solar panel buyers face the dilemma of how to help the environment while saving money. Tesla answered this question and created the Solar Roof - a series of tiles covering the roof of a house, not much different in appearance from ordinary tiles, that use the energy of the Sun.

4. Nike HyperAdapt 1.0 Self-Lacing Shoe

Anyone who's seen Back to the Future wishes they had three things: a time-traveling DeLorean, a hoverboard, and self-lacing sneakers.

Now, thanks to Nike, self-lacing sneakers are a reality. When you press the button near the tongue, the laces on the HyperAdapt 1.0 automatically tighten or loosen around your foot. Simplified lacing can be useful for athletes and people with limited mobility.

5. Football field that fits anywhere

The Klong Toei district in central Bangkok is densely populated and filled with buildings, leaving little open space for new parks, let alone a rectangular soccer field for children.

AP Thailand decided to approach this problem in its own way. Using aerial photography, they found deserted areas or unused pieces of land with unusual shapes and covered them with concrete, paint and anti-slip materials, and all the necessities of a sports venue. The new football fields are immediately filled with children after school.

6. PlayStation VR virtual reality headset

Today, to gain access to advanced virtual reality technologies, you sometimes have to spend several thousand dollars not only for a headset, but also for a computer that can support it.

Sony has decided to release a more affordable PlayStation VR headset that works with PlayStation console 4, which many people already have.

7. Marijuana, which will replace pills

Many people rely on pharmaceutical products to treat common ailments such as insomnia and headaches. More and more research shows that medical marijuana has certain benefits.

In this regard, the Hmbldt company decided to release a series of vaporizers that atomize medical marijuana oil to help a person calm down, sleep or relieve pain, without leading him to a narcotic state.

Latest inventions of 2016

8. Best Hello Sense Alarm Clock

It's hard to believe that the alarm clock that mercilessly gets us out of bed every morning can improve your sleep.

The new Hello Sense is not a simple alarm clock, but a gadget that measures temperature, humidity, light and air quality in the bedroom to create ideal sleep conditions. It also monitors your sleep cycles and wakes you up when you're most ready with simple voice commands.

9. Eagle 360 ​​tires that rotate in all directions

As more companies develop self-driving cars, Goodyear has decided to reinvent the wheels.

The spherical tire concept allows the vehicle to move in many directions, such as sideways into a parallel parking space or at an angle and speed to counteract a slippery surface.

The concept is based on magnetic levitation. While regular tires are bolted to the car, Eagle 360 ​​wheels float. Such wheels are intended for self-driving cars and will appear no earlier than in 5 years.

10. Quip Smart Toothbrush

According to latest study Every second person does not brush their teeth twice a day, and 3 out of 4 people do not replace their toothbrush every 3 months.

Inventor Simon Enever and his partner Bill May created Quip, a simple, affordable battery-powered toothbrush with a timer that vibrates every 30 seconds for 2 minutes, reminding the user to change brush positions.

11. Dishes for people with cognitive decline

Inventor Shao Yao has first-hand knowledge of Alzheimer's disease. She often watched as her grandmother, who was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, struggled simple steps, such as using utensils.

Yao has created special dishes for people with Alzheimer's disease and other diseases affecting the brain and body. For example, tableware uses bright colors to help a person differentiate between a plate and food, and rubber bases on cups to prevent spillage.

12. Better Shelter

The Ikea Foundation has created Better Shelters - temporary shelters equipped with door locks and solar panels that can be folded and assembled in less than 4 hours, like famous Ikea furniture.

The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees has helped send more than 16,000 such shelters around the world, and humanitarian and refugee aid agencies have turned them into hospitals, reception centers, child development centers and other structures.

13. More powerful and softer Dyson Supersonic hair dryer

James Dyson has created a hair dryer that, unlike traditional noisy, heavy and not so fast models, does its job quite efficiently, but is also quiet thanks to a tiny motor that reaches 110,000 rpm.

It's also fast with a design that increases airflow and gentle on hair thanks to a sensor mechanism that monitors temperature.

14. Potatoes that save lives

In African countries, more than 43 million children under the age of 6 suffer from vitamin A deficiency, which makes them more susceptible to diseases such as blindness, malaria and others.

Scientists from HarvestPlus and CIP decided to help these countries and developed sweet potatoes enriched with vitamin A, which are also resistant to drought and viruses

15. Small drone Dji Mavic Pro

Recently, drones have become smarter, faster and better at taking photos. But for the most part, they are still too bulky for you to carry around with you.

The Dji Mavic Pro drone, launched in September, features obstacle avoidance technology, a 4K camera and the ability to track objects in flight. Plus, it folds down to the size of a loaf of bread and fits easily in a backpack or bag.

16. Arc InstaTemp non-contact thermometer

Anyone who has a small child knows how difficult it can sometimes be to take his temperature in the traditional way and get him to sit still for even a minute. Therefore, recently many companies have begun to produce non-contact thermometers that quickly and accurately measure body temperature using infrared technology.

The latest of these models, Arc InstaTemp, measures body temperature from a distance of 2.5 cm from the patient's forehead and provides measurements in 2.5 seconds using red, yellow or green.

17. Artificial pancreas Minimed 670g

People with diabetes need to constantly check their blood sugar levels and correct them with insulin and food.

Medtronic has decided to significantly simplify this process with the help of the Minimed 670g artificial pancreas. The device, about the size of an iPod, is attached to the body and measures sugar levels every 5 minutes, providing the right amount insulin as needed.

18. Space laboratory "Tiangong-2"

The Tiangong 2 (or Heavenly Palace 2) space laboratory, 10.4 meters long and 4.2 meters wide, includes a compartment for physical activity and medical experiments.

Every day they invent something new that makes us admire and say: “I want, I want, I want!” Inventions that, it would seem, only yesterday were figments of the imagination of science fiction writers and existed only in books, are already in use today.

website We have collected 15 fantastic inventions for you this year.

flying bonsai

Plants in regular pots? “We are already in the future, pots should fly,” said the Hoshinchu company and came up with levitating plants that will bring a little bit of the future into every home.

The sky inside the plane

Flying on an airplane can be unbearably boring, especially if the flight is far and long. BOEING was guided by this and decided to produce aircraft equipped with screens on the ceiling and floor. This will allow you to project the night sky or clouds onto them. When entering the cabin of such an aircraft, all you want to say is “Wow!”

Mobile paper recycling machine

Recycling paper takes a lot of time and effort. The Japanese company EPSON tried to solve this problem and created a small machine that recycles paper in just a few hours, and most importantly, does not use a drop of water. Such a device should be installed in every office.

Rescue corps on an airplane

Safety during flights is of paramount importance, so scientists are trying to invent new safety systems that will make the flight comfortable and safe. Ukrainian engineer Vladimir Tatarenko developed a system that, when an airplane crashes, disconnects the compartment with passengers and ensures a soft landing on any surface.

Tablet for the blind

Live comics

Art doesn't stand still either: the boomcore artist community has released live comics. You open desired page, you bring the tablet up - and the characters begin to move, colors and lively dialogues appear. Looks like you won't be able to tear yourself away from comics anymore.

Shop for drivers

The guys from the Dahir Insaat company are building the world's first store for Drive Market drivers, where you can shop without leaving your car and for a short time. I wonder if it will be possible to walk there?

Super thin bendable screen

TV manufacturers seem to have achieved maximum screen thinness. Now just roll up your TV and take it with you.

A machine that carries entire trees

This car is under beautiful name The “Dutchman” can carry entire trees in a short time, as if capturing them in tongs. In this case, the tree is not damaged, and it can be “moved” to another place.

Sea Cleaner

“We all need to take care of the environment,” the seabinproject guys said and released a device that cleans water from debris. The invention is incredibly simple, but necessary. How come it wasn't invented before?

Holographic teleport

Almost the same device as in everyone's favorite science fiction films was invented by scientists at Microsoft. A person who is even very far away can send his hologram for communication and even interaction.

An inquisitive mind never stops and is constantly in search new information. Modern inventions are a prime example of this. What inventions are you familiar with? Do you know how they influenced the course of history and all of humanity? Today we will try to lift the curtain on the secrecy of the world of new and relatively recently invented technologies.

Definition of “invention”

Real success in life or business can only be achieved by using advanced technologies. It doesn’t matter in what area - it could be discoveries in human psychology or robotics. Anyone who owns the know-how has every chance of becoming number one in his business.

An invention is a new solution that can be expressed in new technology or a material product.

The concept of “invention”: points of view

1. Social. It all depends on the usefulness of the product. Harmful ones are cigarettes or alcohol. Shoes that have a built-in navigator are meaningless. Useful - invention of anesthesia.

2. Legal. Innovations must be patented and regulated by law.

3. Economic. The feasibility of the invention is assessed from the point of view of the possibility of further sale or use.

4. Scientific and technical. Know-how must be fully described: manufacturing technology and parameters.

Modern scientific inventions must necessarily include all the above points. If, for example, a product is not economically feasible, then it makes no sense to manufacture it.

Significant inventions of the 20th century

The twentieth century was rich in important modern inventions. More discoveries have been made than in previous decades. Scientists and inventors really did a great job and greatest achievements opened up to the world.

If you describe each of them, you will get a whole book. And perhaps more than one volume. Therefore, we will only talk about a few of them.

1. Sound cinema. Yes, we owe the fact that we can now enjoy films with sound to the Frenchman Leon Gaumont. It was he who introduced this wonderful product at the beginning of the century.

2. Airplane. The famous Wright brothers made the first flight in human history using this invention. The most interesting thing is that it was not they who invented the plane. The brothers combined the developments of several inventors in their brainchild. But it was Wright who took off with this design.

3. Modern inventions in the field of technology are amazing. And we can absolutely say that washing machine, created by Alva Fisher, has made life easier for more than one generation of women.

4. Assembly conveyor. Many have heard about Henry Ford and his cars, but not everyone knows that it was this man who created the technology that was later adopted by many factories.

5. Another one brilliant invention became a band-aid. It was invented in the USA.

6. What would modern medicine be like without antibiotics? Penicillin was invented by Alexander Fleming and made significant contributions to medicine, thereby saving many lives.

7. There is one more item that is used by a fairly large number of people. This mobile phone. In those years it was quite bulky, but thanks to the efforts of many it acquired its current form.

8. The Internet appeared in the world in the 70s. And now it is an indispensable invention of the 20th century.

Famous innovators

Great scientists and inventors have always existed. Sometimes they are called geniuses, but this is probably the most accurate definition for such people. They created amazing things that humanity still uses today.

Modern inventions are different from the discoveries of antiquity. This is all due to the level of technology development and new raw materials. New solutions are sometimes more elegant. But let's talk about people who bring their seemingly crazy ideas to life.

1. Thomas Edison. He has a huge number of inventions to his credit. More than a thousand patents are proof of this. An important factor is that he had many workers on his staff who embodied all his ideas. Therefore, it is logical to assume that he is indirectly related to some inventions, but this is no longer so important. Thanks to him, we have a kinescope and an electric light bulb.

2. Nikolai Tesla. This is a truly outstanding person. He had unique knowledge. He was little known during his lifetime, but now his name is on everyone’s lips. We owe to him the advent of commercial electricity. His modern inventions have expanded the knowledge of scientists about many things. Tesla held 111 patents.

3. George Westinghouse. He created a braking system for trains. This mechanism was later improved and now we can safely travel in large cars and buses. He experimented a lot with creating a perpetual motion machine.

4. Jerome Hal Lemelson. Not as famous as Tesla, but despite this, he made significant contributions to 20th century technology. The invention of video cameras and tape recorders is proof of this. Robots in industry, warehouses with automation - all this is the work of Jerry. You won’t believe it, but it was this man who helped detect cancer at different stages. Contributed to the development of television. Has more than six hundred patents.

Modern inventions in technology

Scientists of the 20th and 21st centuries have worked hard and made it possible for amazing things to come to light. Many modern discoveries and inventions help both in everyday human life and in study, production, science and medicine. New developments are ongoing constantly. In the 20th century, a qualitative breakthrough in human thought was made, and this is confirmed by many decisions in all areas of human existence.

The Large Hadron Collider. It was through this invention that the existence of such an element as the t-quark was confirmed. This created a sensation in the world of natural sciences. Many discoveries have been made thanks to the LHC.

A ship that allows space travel. Tourism in space is the near future and not science fiction. In the distant future, this will cost relatively little, but now travelers will have to spend a lot of money for such an opportunity.

Discoveries in medicine

Modern inventions in medicine deserve special attention. This part of human life is truly multifaceted. It’s hard to imagine so many areas in which research and discoveries are being carried out.

Medicine does not stand still and every year new medicines, devices, and technologies appear.

One such outstanding invention is the artificial heart. This is a unique option for people who are afraid to replant someone else’s. It completely imitates the work of a real heart, thanks to special sensors.

The second important invention is nanorobots that will remove cancer cells. So far, experiments have been carried out only on animals, but this year they plan to conduct studies on people who have terminal cancer and a life prognosis of several months. If these small robots can be used to cure this disease, it will be a huge breakthrough in the world of medicine.

Printed organs. Everyone knows that almost any thing can be made with 3-D printers. Recently, such a technique was created for printing fabrics. For now, experiments are being carried out on mice. Once it is clear that there is no rejection of new organs, they may begin producing organs to save people’s lives.

Innovation for everyday life

Such inventions do not claim worldwide recognition and sometimes they are funny or useless. But it is worth considering some of them.

1. Hot knife. Very comfortably. Allows you to save time and not have to wait for the oil to melt a little.

2. Mirror in the ironing board. This is especially true for women. You simply iron the item, turn the board over and see how it sits on you. Ideal for small apartments.

3. Umbrella with cup holder. Convenient for always busy people. The handles have a hole for coffee or tea. You can have a drink on the way to work.

4. Tie-flask. On a hot day you are constantly thirsty. Pour water into your tie and you won't be thirsty.

5. Shoes with a navigator.

Inventions that changed lives

Anesthesia. In the form in which we see it now, it appeared in the mid-19th century. This made it possible to perform more operations without fear of pain for the patient.

Radio. Transmitting information “over the air” previously seemed unthinkable. Now it's commonplace.

Telephone. The means of communication have made it possible to expand the boundaries of human communication.

Plastic. A huge number of things in our daily life are made from it.

Russian innovators

There were and are many outstanding personalities in the USSR and modern Russia. Modern left-handers or Russian masters and their inventions brought many wonderful discoveries to their country and the world.

Korolev made a huge contribution to the development of the space industry. He invented the first Earth satellite and ballistic missile. Created spaceship. Sergei Pavlovich was a key person in the development of astronautics. The launch of the first man into space was carried out under his control.

Demikhov is the first person in the world to perform an organ transplant. In this case it was the lungs and the heart. In the years when Vladimir Petrovich created such experiments were considered immoral, but he did not give up and performed thousands of organ transplants in dogs. He always pursued only one, highest goal - to help sick people and prolong their lives. Today, organ transplants are nothing new, and all thanks to the efforts of one person.

Kurchatov created the world's first nuclear power plant. And Tsiolkovsky made a huge contribution to astronautics; more details about his works can be found in books or in the museum of the same name.

What is the best invention in the 21st century?

In fact, it is difficult to single out something specific. Many modern inventions make an invaluable contribution to the development of humanity.

However, it is worth mentioning one thing that may have brought this article to you. This social media. We remember that the Internet itself was invented in the twentieth century, but means of communication appeared already in the current one. Now it's very easy to find a friend. Many complexes can be disguised during virtual communication. Information is now distributed from high speed. Currently, this is one of the most significant technologies for the development of human relations.

New items 2016-2017

Salvage hull in aircraft design. When an airplane crashes, the part with passengers is disconnected and lands on the surface without harm to people's health.

People with physical disabilities often cannot quickly adapt to the world around them, but the technology of the present allows us to make their world a little better. A tablet for the blind can serve as proof.

Water purifier. Everyone knows how catastrophically polluted rivers, seas and oceans are. To solve the problem, scientists came up with a simple mechanism that removes garbage.

The most modern inventions make it possible to plow the seas and oceans, conquer space, create new materials and save people's lives. It is truly magnificent and the world we live in is amazing.

This publication features some of the newest inventions in the technology world of the past year.

Nanomotor

A group of engineers from the University of Texas last year created the smallest and, at the same time, fastest nanomotor currently available. Its size is only 1 micron. The rotation speed of this little monster is 300 revolutions per second. It is important that scientists managed to make this motor work continuously for 15 hours. In previous versions of such micromotors, they rotated at a much lower speed and for only a few minutes. This motor was created as an experimental design and is a major advance in the development of nanoelectromechanical systems that will be used for medical applications such as cancer treatment.

Tester

Another invention from latest technologies, invented to fight cancer, was presented by a team of scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. They have come up with a simple, inexpensive paper-based test that can quickly diagnose cancer. It works like a pregnancy test and in just a few minutes, taking a urine sample as a sample, it can indicate the presence of cancer in a person. It should be noted that such a simple test could revolutionize medical diagnostics and save many people in countries with underdeveloped infrastructure.

Autonomous robots

What deserves our attention is an autonomous robot system called TERMES, developed at the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. The invention imitates self-organization in the behavior of termites. The peculiarity of new robots is that their system does not require direct control or communication interaction. The TERMES system demonstrated that collaborative robot systems are capable of building complex 3D structures without the fate of a command structure or prescriptive roles. Robots can be grouped into groups different sizes, the number can reach several hundred thousand.

The main purpose of the invention is the construction of certain objects, in this regard, engineers believe that TERMES will be effective for the construction of settlements during the colonization of Mars.

Product sensor

The first-ever pocket sensor, Schio, operates at the molecular level, created by Israeli inventors. This is a compact infrared spectrometer that looks like a regular flash drive. It operates in connection with a smartphone and is designed to detect chemical composition products, medicines, plants, etc.

The sensor supplies the object with light that is close in spectrum to infrared. The beam is reflected from the surface of the object and changes its properties depending on the molecular composition of which the object is made. Having caught the reflected light, the spectrometer instantly analyzes the substance and a signal with relevant information appears on the smartphone display.

Robotic suit

An unusual robotic suit developed by Daewoo engineers greatly improves the physical condition of the person who wears it. This utility model is based on the use of small exoskeleton technology. The first experimental sample of the robotic suit weighs about twenty kg and can be worn by people with different figures.

When walking, there is no need to change your usual gait, and thanks to the suit you can carry objects weighing up to thirty kg, you can work for at least three hours without recharging the battery. Soon it is planned to increase the lifting weight to 100 kg.
