  • Using the power of engineering and brilliant inventions to save lives!!! Great times collab-ing with Bill and Melinda Gates!

    Summary: I met with Manu Prakash from Stanford to talk about 2 of his labs' inventions the Foldscope and the Paperfuge. Combined these cost only 68 cents and they can be used to diagnose Malaria. Both of these are examples not only of simple, brilliant design, but of how engineering is used to make a positive dent in the world.

    When I was a kid in the 1970's my grandma strung a large button on a string and showed me how to spin it. I grew up kind of poor and my siblings and I didn't get a lot of toys for Christmas or on our birthdays, so that button and string toy was a kind of cool toy back then. I haven seen anyone play with a button and string toy since then. Now seeing that same kind of device being converted to a centrifuge is awesome.

The lens and a light source are all that remains for the physical portion of it. Or use the built-in scanner on the ScanNCut to make a cut-to-data version of the paper portion of it.

      Fireball006 Well yeah but a microscope made out of paper is much easier to break and steal than a big heavy plastic one isn’t it? Anyway kids at our school never broke the microscopes so unless you’re in the ghetto or something they should be fine.

    If an organisms environment is already not enough to sustain it long term, how would that effect the curve if the organism found a way to keep a group from dying?

      It is pretty self-explanatory, to be honest. Indians have a history of engineering and intelligence (Which Americans lack, lol) that revolves around helping others in an environment where the majority of people are poor, helpless, and unable to support their families. I am not saying that people from other countries do not possess these qualities, I am just saying that since India currently has a population of 1 billion people packed together, it is not hard to find intelligent people who wants to improve the lives of everyone suffering the same thing.
