Researchers have discovered a way to eliminate cavity causing bacteria in candy by covering
it in more bacteria.
And in order to prove that chemical signals can transfer messages - York University researchers
used vodka to send the world's first chemical text message.
Vsauce, Kevin here.... this is Mind Blow.
This Swiss bank safe full of money is available to be purchased and then moved and rebuilt
anywhere in the world. It's the original bank safe from the Schweizer Volksbank built in
the 1912. There are 1619 deposit boxes with original keys and 8 million pieces of Swiss
5 cent coins which is 15 tons of liquid money.
A 75 year old French man was given a revolutionary heart transplant using a new artificial heart.
The Carmat artificial heart is expected to operate for as long as five years and hopes
to give the patient the ability to live a normal life until a real heart can be donated.
Unlike artificial hearts used in the past it was developed to fully replicate the self-regulated
contractions of a real heart by using an intricate system of sensors and microprocessors that
monitors the body's internal changes and alters the blood flow accordingly.
Brothers Simon and Chris Parke are launching their underwater jet pack. The arm worn propulsion
system uses digital motors and wireless controls to operate. Giving people a new way to explore
underwater.
POE is an interactive urinal concept that measures your pee... so yeah.
MetaPro is an augmented reality headset designed to give you 15 times the screen area of google
glass in a pair of aviator glasses. It mirrors devices such as smart phones and laptops so
users have them on the go at the touch of a hologram. For now there will be a cord attached
to a small computer you can fit in your pocket and they're ready for pre order at $3,000
and plan to ship in July 2014.
The Temperperfect Mug is a smart mug that allows the user to drink hot beverages at
the perfect temperature all of the time. When the liquid inside is too hot the wall of the
mug takes out the excess heat and then slowly releases it back into the liquid as it cools
keeping it at the ideal drinking temperature. Check out their kickstarter for more.
Engineers at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory have created a way to turn algae into bio
crude oil in less than 60 minutes. Wet algae is pumped into the front end of a chemical
reactor where the oil is produced in under an hour. The only byproducts are water and
material containing phosphorus, which can then be recycled to grow more algae. After
production the oil can be converted to be used as aviation fuel, gasoline, and diesel
fuel.
The SCHAFT robot is the winner of the DARPA robotics Challenge of 2013. They were given
eight tasks to demonstrate mobility, dexterity, manipulation, perception, and operator control
and they were created to simulate acts needed in a natural disaster. These include operating
a vehicle, navigating difficult terrain, climbing a ladder, clearing debris, door manipulation,
removing an object from a wall, manipulating valves, and operating a hose.
Researchers have developed a 3D modeling system for babies with congenital heart conditions.
Since babies are unable to be put into conventional 3D scanners like MRI's doctors have relied
on echo imaging. But now within five minutes they're able to create a 3D image they're
able to share and use to explain to parents and other health workers.
Finally "Pleiades" by Japan's Enra combines projected light, animation choreography and
music...
I'm going to leave you with an autonomous robotic dragonfly. And as always - thanks
for watching.
