In The News:

Control a mouse cursor with brain implants - I want to be a cyborg!!

Researchers build wearable generators - It may not be a huge amount of energy generated, but if we all wear these and use them to power our personal gadgets, it could have a big impact on the global energy situation.

Boy scouts can now earn robotics merit badges - so cool! wish this was available when I was a cub...

U.S. Navy getting closer to arming ships with lasers - sweet... Laser guns are one of the foundations of Science Fiction, now I'm waiting for a portable version.

Scientists aim to improve photosynthesis - talk about tinkering with nature! still... it could have a great impact on food and energy problems.

  1. I've always wondered why, especially if they can make those wearable generators in your shoe now, we cannot harvest energy from cardio machines at gyms. Seems like it would be a feasible and perhaps even lucrative business.

  2. Great idea, Joe...

    I hadn't thought of it, but you're right... seems the big gym companies are missing out on a money spinner... and as a bonus for the rest of us, it could be a move towards a better energy paradigm.

    Thanks for the comment.
