and pollution
Hanergy Solar R
Cadillac Provoq
-
-
Currently impractical mostly due to
expense
- Titanium composites, carbon
fibre, fibre glass
Cannot seat more than about two
people
Most are equipped with backup
batteries for inclement weather

3-D Printed Buildings (The D-Shape)
- Developed by Italian inventor Enrico Dini
- Sprays sand and magnesium based glue through hundreds of nozzles
- Can build entire buildings
- 4x faster than conventional building, ⅓ the cost of building cement, creates less
waste
- Can produce ornate shapes that are structurally sound

International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor
(ITER)
● Engineering Mega-project by the EU,India,USA,Japan,China,Russia and South
Korea. To be completed by 2019 at a budget of roughly $14 billion.
● Relies on a Tokamak Nuclear fusion design:-could produce more than 10x energy
generated by nuclear fission, while giving out non-lethal waste.
● If successful, could lead to a future of surplus renewable clean
energy,development of advanced technology like superconducting materials,
while reducing dependency on fossil fuels such as coal.
What are the most important things in your life?

Neutral Dust
Wireless implant the size of a grain of dust that uses electrical currents from nerves
in the body to record information and help in the development of prosthetics.
Monitors the brain using ultrasound which returns a signal to the ‘Neutral Dust’
about the electrical activity in the brain
Durable
It can be used to check the health of organs
Treat conditions like seizures and epilepsy by monitoring the brain waves
