  • Visionary inventor Dean Kamen has barely taken a day off since inventing the Segway, working on a number of out-of-the-box inventions that may affect the lives of billions of people around the world. Erin Moriarty of "48 Hours" catches up with Kamen to get a glimpse of his latest, and perhaps greatest, breakthrough.

      Elon Musk can't do that. Or any of the actual genius stuff Dean Kamen and his team can.

    One of the greats. I've heard Dean speak several times and he is still very concerned over the scientific ignorance so prevalent today - in particular young people. Dean's mission is two-fold - innovation and just as important, education. I've seen him ask a group to name some music "artists" and they talk nonstop for minutes. But when asked to name a single engineer or scientist it's the Big Silence.. He asks them who created their IPADs, IPODs, cell phones, cars, etc Less than 10% were able to name a single astronaut!!

      @@MargaritaMagdalena 19th century England and Scotland (and other parts of Europe) were enamored of science, attending lectures in huge numbers. For that matter 19th century Americans were on the cutting edge of science.
      The difference: The ideas were basic and easily grasped compared to quantum dynamics, Batesian modeling and DNA manipulation. One could literally learn about electricity in a basement whereas years are required for mastering new subjects.

      @@MargaritaMagdalena I guess your opinion invalidates my statement! LOL I should have said, the average, educated European who lived in a large city - how could they not be. They encountered lights, running water, machines, vehicles, medicines and new materials in increasing number.

      Radio Shack had electronic kits for kids. I'm not sure if I could name scientists back then, but we had our hands on things we built and took apart... bikes, remote control cars, etc.
      "How It's Made" is the most fascinating show that ever existed.

      I don't think the Segway has failed, in my opinion it hasn't been embraced similarly to how the Sinclair C5 wasn't either. Here, Segways aren't allowed on roads or pavements, so people won't buy them if they can't make full use of them. Just sayin' 🙏

    Wish you the best and more ideas.

    Need a glow in the dark toilet, clear glow in the dark industrial finish (under the glaze?) that glows in the dark for 24 hrs with only 1/2 hrs light exposure!
    Had an idea: Could the Fukishima waste water be separated and the water steam off through DEKA distillation, powered by another reactor if safe, instead of running into the Pacific ocean?
    What if control rod material finely ground was fed into the core, even drilled with geological boring and fed a mile down? Also what about boronic water to cool, and pre-stage ion exchange with titanium oxide and salt before distillation to separate the waste before dumping the waste into the ocean? Maybe CA should be piping Atlantic water for desalination or distillation and keep the Pacific off tap for now.
    Also toilets..
    If only toilets didn't contaminate all the wastewater with viruses and bacteria that even build a protective shell around them to even resist chlorine and which point of use filters say they remove from the incoming potable water. In naure purification at its finest is evaporation, collection of vapor- condensation, rains, sand filtration, water again, maybe DeKa has an affordable steam distillation solution which would add steam disinfection for a new toilet to reduse waste to a disposable solid in a disposable compartment with a disposable liner that reduces w human waste to a brick which goes to a landfill, like cat litter does, and whatever small amount of water and moisture used steams out, disinfected as water vapor, then the wastewater is not contaminated by sewage etc, and the rivers won't smell like each town, and we'll reduce the amount of ammonia in the gulf, and wastewater minus all the toilet contamination from even entering will be more easily cleaned for use in irrigation, and perhaps the future bottled water companies will also use ocean desalination until it can be pipes directly as potable water through existing supply lines, and towns could easily hook up to a main line running from ocean wave powered desalination through all 50 states, Though CA and the rest of the US should be piping from the Atlantic now and using ocean power, solar for desalination or distillation. And some places are re-uding waste water, going Toilet-to-Tap, their brains stopped there and went no further by to tell Rhine that's their best idea and it's great
    Back to the toilet, the waste line at the toilet connection could be separated from the rest of the household plumbing and go down to a pit, or collector in the basement or outside the house, where household water is separated from waste with DeKa distillation and the solid waste removed in self sealing disposable containers. It would eliminate a lot of treatment burden and treatment cost might go down on the city side, while rise a little on the users end, but with adjustments stay about the same per household.
