Inventions that will make life easier

The James Dyson Foundation annually rewards a design that solves a problem. It aims to inspire and encourage the next generation of design engineers. 20 entries shortlisted from 650 entries of this period.

• • The winner of this year’s Engineering James Dyson Award will receive an amount of 30,000 pounds (more than Rs 29,20,000). This is a British project Biowool. This will replace the residue of the wool industry as a material that can be used as an alternative to plastics.

  • • The second of the 20 entries shortlisted this year is German. The Zarius generates electricity from the air, allowing other devices to be charged.

    • • Sono of Austria can shut down select sounds so that they cannot go outside the window. One can choose these sounds over Wi-Fi
        Oltu gives more space to keep fruits and vegetables. This Spanish invention uses the heat produced behind the fridge for energy. Its four different mines can be kept cold, hot, wet or dry.

      • • • In this American invention, there is an arrangement to protect the rider from an accident by putting LED wheels in the wheels of the bicycle. This energy comes from a battery.

          • • The Comb is a driverless dumper truck. In this project of Austria, it is proposed to drive the vehicle through GPS location technology.

            • • The stack is a lean printer. It is placed on the paper rock and keeps a print out of the paper. There is no need to put paper in it. The Swiss team that built it says that it will be ideal for small houses.

              • • This device is designed to install stitches automatically so that medical staff can do some other work. The Canadian team making it has been prepared to sew it after stomach surgery so that it can be done quickly.

                • • Teams are designed so that if someone is pulled on a lifejacket, his mouth is out of water. The British team making it has also provided a support around the neck to protect it from the waves.

                  • • Cortex is a 3D-printed cam. It has been designed to remove problems like stench and itching from the original molds made from plaster. Its inventors in New Zealand say that it is made from recycled plastic to reduce residue.

                    • • Renewable wave power generators have already won the UK cycle in the James Dyson competition. In this, lightly connected pistons are used to obtain energy from tidal water. It is ahead of those devices which are able to function properly only when water moves in one direction.

                      • • The team of Irish inventors has created jaw memory with sensors. It also informs the medical staff if the player suffers more injuries.

                        • • • In the US, the Titan arm is an upper-end device that promises to increase the wearer’s strength. Those who make it say that it can also be used for cell production of injured people.

                            • • E-Health is an economical way to measure blood pressure, blood oxygen and other biometric data using Raspberry Pi and Arduino computers. Its Spanish inventors say that it can be used for health checkup at home.

                          • • Awaring is designed for the hearing impaired. In this Japanese invention, it is told through lights that who is talking and how loud is speaking.

                            • • Handy pieces can be rebuilt with the help of a 3D printer. Its Japanese inventors say that this prosthetic hand care can be economical.

                              • • Gluco tests the level of diabetes by connecting a special watch to a smartphone. The French team making it says that if the level of diabetes becomes very low or high, then the information can be given to the named person.

                                • • The Hydros Life Jacket offers a new approach to manufacturing. The Irish team that made it says that it is comfortable and protects against cold better than traditional designs.

                                  • • Australia’s team has invented an oxygen cylinder called Rome for children. It also has a mask applied to the nose. Those who make it say that it is easier to carry and take it than the existing cylinders at the time of severe asthma attack.

                                    • • Lenify is a stretcher that is divided into three pieces. The American team making it says that it helps the health workers to move the patient from one part to another. Traditionally lifting may result in further harm to the patient. The results of the competition will be announced on 7 November.
