Tissue Regeneration

The latest science invention in health care is the development of a spray gun for regenerating skin tissue.

The Armed Forces Institute of Regenerative Medicine (AFIRM), recently established by the U.S. Department of Defense, is funding research into the regrowth of bones, muscles, tendons, nerves and blood vessels.

The University of Pittsburgh's McGowan Institute for Regenerative Medicine will join a consortium of 30 institutes in regenerative research.

Last year, a pathologist at the McGowan Institute regrew the severed fingertips of two patients in their mid sixties. Existing scar tissue was removed by an enzyme. Scarring inhibits regrowth, however cells derived from pig bladders can override the scarring process and attract cells and proteins needed for growth.

Another researcher with Wayne Forest University, is developing an inkjet device with cartridges containing tissue cells with growth factors. The device would dispense layers of tissue onto deep flesh wounds for healing and regrowth.

For surface wounds, a hand-held sprayer is in development, which sprays immature skin cells (called keratinocytes) onto the skin. Clinical trials with burn victims have been promising. The advantages of this technology compared to "grafting" is that it eliminates patchwork scarring and uses less skin.

"Conventional methods cannot return people to the way they were before" says biochemist Alan Russell, but it's within the grasp of science.

Needle-less Injection

This latest science invention is a device for delivering medication and vaccinations through the skin.

As an alternative to injecting a needle, micro-poration is a painless method of transferring medication (intraepidermal) into the body using laser technology.


A handheld laser creates micro pores in the epidermis of the skin for the transfer of molecules.

It has a familiar comparison to the "needle-less" device used by Dr. "Bones" McCoy on Star Trek. The popular sci-fi series has inspired more than a few new inventions including the "laser" and the "cell phone".

This new micro-poration technology is painless to use and requires no supervision to administer. The interfaced controls regulate the dosage.

Air Into Water

Johathan Ritchey has invented the Watermill, which is an atmospheric water generator. It converts air into fresh water.

The appliance produces fresh water at a cost of about 3 cents a liter (1 quart). Originally designed for areas that do not have clean drinking water, the Watermill is for households that prefer an eco-friendly, cost effective alternative to bottled water.

Atmospheric water generators convert air into water when the temperature of the air becomes saturated with enough water vapor that it begins to condense (dew point).

"What is unique about the Watermill is that it has intelligence," says Ritche. This makes the appliance more efficient. It samples the air every 3 minutes to determine the most efficient time to convert the air into water.

It will also tell you when to change the carbon filter and will shut itself off if it cannot make pure clean water.

Undersea Resort

L Bruce Jones is a submarine inventor who designs and sells private luxury submarines.

Following in the footsteps of his rocket scientist father, and his grandfather who invented self-elevating jack-up rigs and created the world's first containerized shipping company; Bruce is building the world's first undersea resort.

Accessible by two elevators from the surface, the resort is being built on the seabed surrounding a private Fiji island in the South Pacific.

The underwater facilities will include 24 luxury state rooms, a restaurant and bar, library, conference room, wedding chapel, underwater spa, and the ultra-luxury Nautilus Suite with stunning undersea views.

The Poseidon Undersea Resort is expected to open in 2010.

Flying Saucers

Inventor, Dr. Paul Moller, has invented a two-seat flying saucer that can reach speeds of 75 miles an hour.

The M200G "personal recreation craft" is a vertical-takeoff-and-landing aircraft (VTOL).

It uses a propulsion system to lift and stabilize itself in the air. There are eight small directional ducted fans each powered by a rotary engine.

Using multiple inertial sensors and accelerometers, a computer monitors and adjusts thrust in each fan as often as 400 times per second to maintain stability and flight.

The craft is limited to flying below 10 feet to eliminate the need for pilot certification.

Skycar - Drive And Fly

Gilo Cardozo, a self-taught aviation engineer, inventor and founder of British-based Parajet has created a two-seat flying car.

The Skycar is powered by a modified 1000cc, four cylinder, 140hp, ethanol burning, Yamaha R1 superbike engine with a lightweight automatic CVT(continuously variable transmission) gear-box.

It has independent four wheel suspension and rear wheel drive. Road acceleration is 0-60 mph in 4.5 seconds with a top speed of 110 mph.

To convert to flight mode, the driver unfolds a parafoil wing from the trunk (boot) and attaches it to the rear of the car. He then flips a switch to change the transmission from road mode, which powers the wheels, to flight mode, which powers the rear fan.

Converting from “road mode” to “fly mode” and visa-versa takes about three minutes thanks to the flexible wing technology invented by Mike Campbell Jones, of Paramania Powergliders.

The fan’s thrust propels the car forward, providing lift for the wing as the car reaches a takeoff speed of 35 mph. Once airborne, foot pedals move cables attached to the parafoil to direct the flight path. Top air speed is 100 mphat altitudes of 2000 to 3000 feet. Maximum altitude is 15,000 ft. with a range of 180 miles. The Skycar is also equipped with an roof-mounted ballastic parachute for emergencies.

In January 2009, an Expedition Team plans to drive/fly the Skycar from London, England to Timbuktu located in the African country of Mali. A total distance of 3700 miles.

"It’s going to be quite a treacherous trip,” predicts Cardozo. “But that’s all part of a good adventure.”

The Skycar will take a 22-mile flight across the English Channel, before landing in France and continuing by road.

Then, after a high-altitude flight over the Pyrenees, the Skycar flys across the Strait of Gibraltar to Africa, then through Morocco and across the Sahara desert to Timbuktu.
“If the Skycar goes down over water, we risk losing it” says Cardozo. “We’re looking into flotation devices like they use on lifeboats. You attach them to the car and throw them out to stop it from sinking.” The Sahara is also a dangerous environment, not only for it's intense heat and dust - but for criminals.

Upon completion of this maiden voyage, Cardozo plans to make a limited production of the Skycar. Potential buyers require a powered parachute license rather than a pilots license and the British government has approved the vehicle as street legal.

Gen H-4 Copter

The next time you hop into your car, you might consider flying this latest invention. Gennai Yanagisawa has invented the world's smallest one-man helicopter.

The GEN H-4 is a 75 kg (165 lbs) aluminum-framed copter with twin rotors powered by two 10hp engines. Each engine has an independent ignition, carburetor,starter and clutch. It can fly with just one engine so the probability of total engine failure is remote. But for added safety, it also comes with a ballistic parachute.

To fly the copter, you take a seat and grab the control bar that is positioned in front of you. The handle bar displays a tachometer, starter and throttle lever.

To fly forward you pull the handle bar towards you. To go backwards you push the handle forward. Move the handle left to fly right and right to fly left. The throttle lever controls the rise and descent. The maximum flight speed is 50 kilometers per hour ( 31 mph).

Yanagisawa is planning a trip to Italy to fly his new invention. It is to honor the inventor Leonardo da Vinci who was the first person to envision the invention of helicopters.
