Futuristic Inventions and Cool Stuff
|
|
I created this section of my web site many years ago because I'm sick of waiting for the future. I'm doing my small part to support futuristic and 'cool' gadets and gizmos that I think are interesting so the future might get here a little faster.
I don't care if the answers for a pollution free, hunger free, sickness free, flying car world comes from the so-called 'lunatic fringe' or not. If it works, who cares where the idea comes from? I require a self-cleaning house with automatic sliding doors today, not 500 years from now.
It's time to create new materials, combine ideas, and examine things that were previously laughed at or ignored by people with small, one-track minds. The new world is just over the horizon. Don't stop to argue about which oar is better. Keep rowing.

A project to show that man can live with nature without sprawling out and destroying it.
Building Materials Contour Crafting technology has great potential for automating the construction of whole structures as well as sub-components. Using this process, a single house or a colony of houses, each with possibly a different design, may be automatically constructed in a single run, embedded in each house all the conduits for electrical, plumbing and air-conditioning.
Consisting of an inner and outer skin and a core of super-insulating expanded polystyrene (EPS) glued together with a special high-strength glue and dried under extreme pressure, the result is a stressed-skin panel that has amazing capabilities. The result is a single panel that has amazing strength, durability and thermal efficiency. With the patented spline connection system, the 4' wide panels join together to build walls, floors and roofs that are lightweight yet can withstand high wind loads and the twisting and flexing that slowly deteriorate conventional buildings.

Paxton Quigley: Armed and Female Non-lethal weapons and more.
Cool Stuff You may have heard that Troy Hurtubise has invented 'Fire Paste' and a hardening compound called '1313.' He uses those creations with other materials to create lightweight blast cushions that can withstand armor piercing bullets and explosives. He hopes the military will use these blast cushions to protect the troops, but if the material could also be used in the walls of buildings, a chance to have a fire-proof, bullet-proof, bomb-proof home may not be too far away.
Artificial Muscle Research Institute The ultimate goal of the Artificial Muscle Research Institute is to become the world's leading institution in artificial muscle research, development, and applications. The immediate goal of the Artificial Muscle Research Institute is to develop, design, fabricate, test, and commercialize electrically and chemically controlled artificial muscles. These artificial muscles will be used in applications relating to industrial, medical, and domestic problems.
