Much of what was presented is already available for purchase, while other devices exist only in concept form.
New Inventions 2016
1. Flyte Hovering Bulb
The Swedish scientist Simon Morris has been fond of levitation since childhood. He even managed to turn a skateboard into a hoverboard for flying above the ground.
Now he set out to create a levitating light bulb, Flyte, that floats and rotates thanks to electromagnetism and glows thanks to a resonant inductive coupling. The light bulb has been a success since it was released in January of this year, and Morris plans to create a whole series of floating objects.
2. Foldable bike helmet Morpher
British inventor Jeff Woolf, like many cyclists, also did not escape the accident and the only thing that saved him was a helmet. However, many of his compatriots do not wear a helmet due to the fact that it is too bulky and does not fit in a bag or backpack.
Wulff solved this problem and created the Morpher Folding Helmet in a woven plastic that is as strong as traditional helmets but flexible enough to fold almost flat and be easy to carry.
3 Tesla Solar Roof
Many buyers of home solar panels are faced with the dilemma of how to help the environment while saving money. Tesla answered this question and created the Solar Roof - a series of tiles that cover the roof of a house, seemingly little different from ordinary tiles, that use the energy of the Sun.
4. Nike HyperAdapt 1.0 Auto-lacing Trainers
Everyone who has watched the movie Back to the Future wishes they had three things: a time-traveling DeLorean, a hoverboard, and self-lacing sneakers.
Now, thanks to Nike, self-lacing sneakers are a reality. When you press the button near the tongue, the laces on the HyperAdapt 1.0 will automatically tighten or unclip around your foot. Simplified lacing can be useful for athletes and people with limited motor function.
5. Football field that fits anywhere
The Klong Toei area in downtown Bangkok is densely populated and filled with buildings, leaving no room for new parks, not to mention a rectangular football field for children.
AP Thailand decided to approach this problem in its own way. Using aerial photography, they found uninhabited areas or unusually shaped unused areas of land and covered them with concrete, paint and anti-slip materials and everything a sports facility has. New football fields are immediately filled with children after school.
6. PlayStation VR Virtual Reality Headset
Today, in order to gain access to advanced virtual reality technologies, sometimes you have to spend several thousand dollars not only for a headset, but also for a computer that can support it.
Sony has decided to release a more affordable PlayStation VR headset that works with the PlayStation 4 that many people already have.
7. Marijuana to replace pills
Many people rely on over-the-counter remedies to treat common ailments such as insomnia and headaches. A growing body of research shows that medical marijuana has certain benefits.
In this regard, Hmbldt decided to launch a series of vaporizers that spray medical marijuana oil to help a person calm down, fall asleep or relieve pain, without putting him into a drugged state.
Latest Inventions of 2016
8. Best Hello Sense Alarm
It's hard to believe that an alarm clock that ruthlessly gets us out of bed every morning can improve your sleep.
The new Hello Sense is not just an alarm clock, but a gadget that measures temperature, humidity, light and air quality in the bedroom to create the perfect sleep environment. It also monitors your sleep cycles and wakes you up when you're most ready with simple voice commands.
9. Eagle 360 tires that rotate in all directions
As more companies develop self-driving cars, Goodyear has decided to reinvent the wheel.
The spherical tire concept allows the car to move in many directions, such as sideways into parallel parking or at an angle and at a certain speed to counteract slippery surfaces.
The concept is based on magnetic levitation. While conventional tires are screwed to the car, the Eagle 360 wheels float. Such wheels are designed for unmanned vehicles and will appear no earlier than in 5 years.
10 Quip Smart Toothbrush
According to the latest study, every second person does not brush their teeth twice a day, and 3 out of 4 people do not replace their toothbrush every 3 months.
Inventor Simon Enever and his partner Bill May created the Quip, a simple, affordable battery powered toothbrush with a timer that vibrates every 30 seconds for 2 minutes, reminding the user to change brush positions.
11. Dishes for people with cognitive decline
Inventor Shao Yao knows firsthand about Alzheimer's disease. She often had to watch her grandmother, who was diagnosed with Alzheimer's, struggle with simple tasks like using utensils.
Yao has created special dishes for people with Alzheimer's and other diseases that affect the brain and body. So, the dishes use bright colors to help a person distinguish a plate from food, and a rubber base on the cups to prevent liquid from spilling.
12. Better Shelter
The Ikea Foundation has created Better Shelters, makeshift homes equipped with door locks and solar panels that can be folded and assembled in less than 4 hours, like Ikea's famous furniture.
The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees has helped send more than 16,000 of these shelters around the world, and humanitarian and refugee agencies have turned them into hospitals, receptions, child development centers and other facilities.
13. More powerful and softer Dyson Supersonic hair dryer
James Dyson has created a hair dryer that, unlike the traditional noisy, heavy and not-so-fast models, gets the job done efficiently, yet is quiet thanks to its tiny motor and reaches 110,000 rpm.
It's also fast with a design that increases airflow, and gentle on hair with a sensor mechanism that monitors temperature.
14. Potato that saves lives
In African countries, more than 43 million children under the age of 6 suffer from vitamin A deficiency, which makes them more susceptible to diseases such as blindness, malaria and others.
Scientists from HarvestPlus and CIP decided to help these countries by developing vitamin A-fortified sweet potatoes that are also resistant to drought and viruses.
15. Small drone DJI Mavic Pro
Recently, drones have become smarter, faster and better at taking photos. But for the most part, they are still too bulky for you to freely carry around.
Launched in September, the DJI Mavic Pro drone is equipped with obstacle avoidance technology, a 4K resolution camera and the ability to follow objects in flight. Plus, it folds down to the size of a loaf of bread and fits easily into a backpack or bag.
16. Non-contact thermometer Arc InstaTemp
Everyone who has a small child knows how difficult it can sometimes be to take his temperature in the traditional way and make him sit still for at least a minute. Therefore, recently many companies have begun to produce non-contact thermometers that quickly and accurately measure body temperature using infrared technology.
The latest of these models, Arc InstaTemp, measures body temperature from a distance of 2.5 cm from the patient's forehead and provides measurements in 2.5 seconds using red, yellow or green.
17. Artificial pancreas Minimed 670g
People with diabetes need to constantly check their blood sugar levels and adjust them with insulin and food.

21. UNICEF Kid Power Band
The UNICEF Kid Power Band motivates kids to become more physically active with a mobile app. Children earn points that turn into food parcels that UNICEF sends to needy children around the world. Thus, it allows children to feel that they can change the world.
22. Apple AirPods
Apple AirPods wireless headphones automatically connect to your iPhone, have a microphone (which allows you to control your smartphone via Siri), and detect the position in your ears, allowing you to automatically pause if you take one of the headphones out to talk to someone.
23. Amazon Echo wireless speaker
The Amazon Echo wireless speaker looks like a standard Bluetooth speaker, but with this speaker you can talk. The idea itself is not new, since there are already similar systems, such as Apple's Siri or Microsoft's Cortana.
The Amazon Echo speaker comes with dozens of apps, allowing you to call a cab, turn off the lights, and order a pizza.
24. Wynd Personal Air Purifier
No matter where we live, we almost always breathe in a lot of chemicals and pollutants. Wynd Personal Air Purifier - A water bottle-sized portable air filter creates a cleaner climate by absorbing pollutants, including those that contribute to cancer and heart disease, in your immediate area.
25. Barbies that look like real girls
For 57 years, the famous doll has set unrealistic standards for female beauty. However, Mattel decided to change the situation and release Barbies that will look more like real girls.
While the original dolls are still produced, there are now three body types (thin, tall, and curvaceous), skin color, and hair texture to choose from.
The main character of Mikhail Zoshchenko's story "Interestingly came up with" is a small dog named Lyoshka. Once this dog, left at home alone, saw that there was a sausage on the chest of drawers. The dog wanted to get to this sausage and eat it. But the chest of drawers was tall, and the dog was small, no bigger than a cat.
But the dog Lyoshka was cunning and smart. She came up with a way to get a tasty treat. The dog pulled the bottom drawer of the dresser towards itself with its teeth and managed to pull it out. Then she climbed onto the drawer that was pulled out and began pulling out other drawers. Gradually, she formed a ladder of boxes. The dog got to the coveted sausage and immediately ate it.
When the owners returned home, at first they wanted to punish Lyosha for arbitrariness. But, when they saw what the dog had thought up to get to the sausage, the owners did not punish her, but only laughed and said that for such a smart dog, sausage is not a pity.
This is the summary of the story.
The main idea of Zoshchenko's story "Interestingly came up with" is that the desire to get what you want stimulates initiative and ingenuity. The dog Lyoshka really wanted to eat the sausage lying on the chest of drawers. The desire was so strong that the dog managed to build a ladder out of chest of drawers and got to the desired one.
The story teaches to be persistent and quick-witted in achieving the goal.
What proverbs fit Zoshchenko's story "Interestingly came up with"?
He sees the eye, but the tooth is numb.
There would be a hunt - any work will work out.
Mind chamber.

We are so accustomed to what surrounds us today that it is impossible to imagine how people used to do without all this ...
It is interesting what lies ahead for us, and without which we, humanity, will not be able to live and develop in 100, 200, 500… years 🙄
While many of you are immersed in languid thoughts, we suggest that you familiarize yourself with the greatest inventions of mankind today.
12 Gunpowder and Firearms
There are many persistent opinions that gunpowder was invented in China. Its appearance led to the invention of fireworks and early firearms. Since the beginning of time, people have divided territories and defended them, and for this they always needed some kind of weapon. First there were sticks, then axes, then bows, and after the advent of gunpowder, firearms. Now many types of weapons have been created for military purposes, from simple pistols to the latest intercontinental missiles that are launched from a submarine. In addition to the army, weapons are also used by civilians both for their own protection and protection of anything, and for hunting.
11 Car
It is difficult to imagine the modern world without cars. People ride them to work, to the country, on vacation, for groceries, to movies and restaurants. Different types of vehicles are used to deliver goods, build structures, and for many other purposes. The first cars looked like carriages without horses and did not move at a very high speed. Now there are both simple cars for the middle class, and luxury cars that stand like a house, accelerating over 400 kilometers per hour. The modern world simply cannot be imagined without a car.
10 Internet
Mankind has been going to the creation of the Internet for many years, inventing new and new means of communication. Even 20 years ago, a little more than 100,000 people had the Internet, and now it is available in almost all more or less large settlements. Through the Internet, you can communicate both by letters and visually, you can find almost any information on the Internet, you can work through the Internet, order products, things and services. The Internet is a window to the world through which you can not only receive information, communicate and play, but also earn money, make purchases and read this site. 😉
9 Mobile phone
Even some 15 years ago, in order to communicate with someone at a distance, you had to go home and call a landline phone or look for the nearest phone booth and coins or tokens for a call. If you were on the street, and you urgently needed to call an ambulance or firefighters, you had to scream in the hope that someone from the nearest houses would hear and call the right place, or quickly run and look for a phone to call. Even children always had to go around friends and personally find out if they would go for a walk or not, since even at home many did not have a telephone. Now, almost anywhere you can call anywhere. A mobile phone is the freedom to communicate, wherever you are.
8 Computer
The computer has now replaced for many such items as a TV, video or DVD player, telephone, books and even a ballpoint pen. Now with the help of a computer you can write books, communicate with people, watch movies, listen to music, find the information you need. What am I telling you, you yourself know everything! In addition to domestic use, computers are used for various research and development, facilitating and improving the work of many enterprises and mechanisms. The modern world is simply impossible to imagine without computers.
7 Cinema
The invention of cinema was the beginning of the cinema and television that we have today. The first motion pictures were in black and white and without sound, appearing only a few decades after photography. Cinema today is an incredible spectacle. Thanks to the hundreds of people working on it, the CGI, the sets, the make-up, and so many other ways and technologies, cinema can now feel like a fairy tale. Television, portable video cameras, surveillance cameras, and in general everything connected with video exists thanks to the invention of cinema.
6 Phone
A simple landline phone is higher than a mobile phone in our ranking because for the time when the phone was invented, it was a huge breakthrough. Prior to the telephone, communication was possible only by letters by mail, telegraph or carrier pigeons. Thanks to the telephone, people no longer had to wait several weeks for an answer to a letter, they did not have to go somewhere or go somewhere to say or find out something. Creating a telephone not only saved time, but also energy.
5 Electric lamp
Before the invention of the electric light bulb, people sat in the dark in the evenings or lit candles, oil lamps, or some kind of torches, as in ancient times. The invention of the light bulb made it possible to get rid of the danger posed by lighting “devices” using fire. Thanks to the electric bulb, the rooms began to be illuminated well and evenly. Now we understand how important a light bulb is only when we turn off the electricity.
4 Antibiotics
Before the invention of antibiotics, some diseases that are now treated at home could kill a person. The development and production of antibiotics began actively at the end of the 19th century. The invention of antibiotics has helped man overcome many diseases that were previously considered incurable. Back in the 30s of the 20th century, dysentery claimed tens of thousands of human lives every year. There was also no cure for pneumonia, sepsis, typhoid. A person could not defeat pneumonic plague in any way, it always led to death. With the invention of antibiotics, many serious diseases are no longer afraid of us.
3 wheel
At first glance, you can’t say that the wheel is a very important invention, but it was thanks to this device that many other inventions, such as the car or train, were created. The wheel significantly reduces the energy costs for moving the load. Thanks to the invention of the wheel, not only transport was improved. Man began to build roads, the first bridges appeared. Everything from carts to airplanes is powered by a wheel. Even elevators and mills work thanks to the wheel. If you think a little, you can understand the full scale of the use of this simple ancient invention and all its importance.
2 Writing
In second place in our rating is the second most ancient and frequency of use method of transmitting information. Thanks to writing, we can learn history, read books, write SMS, learn new information and learn. Ancient writings found in Egyptian and Mexican pyramids provide insight into the way of life of ancient civilizations. Now we need writing for almost everything. Working in the office, relaxing with an interesting book, having fun at the computer, learning - all this is possible thanks to writing.
1 Language
The first place is occupied by the most ancient and frequently used method of transmitting information. Without language, there would be nothing. People simply could not understand each other, as it was many thousands of years ago, when humanity was still at the first stages of its development. Today there are thousands of languages with dozens of dialects each. Most of them are no longer used, many are used in distant corners of the world by various tribes. Thanks to language we understand each other, thanks to it we develop as a civilization and thanks to it you can learn about the most important inventions of man! 🙂
One squirrel wanted to fly through the air. “All day,” he thinks, “I’ve been jumping from branch to branch like crazy, but I can’t fly. What a disgrace!” A squirrel sits on a tree and mourns.
A bird flies and asks a squirrel:
- Why are you so strange today - sitting and not jumping?
Belka says:
– What is my interest in jumping? Birds fly, people fly, bugs fly, various midges, flies and mosquitoes also fly. Flying ants, fish, mice and those fly. And I just can't fly. And I want to fly a little. And then I live, as in a forest, and I don’t see anything interesting.
The bird says:
– I would take you with me to fly, but you are heavy. Only twelve birds can lift you into the air.
Belka says:
- Then call me twelve birds, let them ride me through the air, otherwise I will go crazy from boredom.
The bird chirped - chirp chirp - and immediately eleven more birds flew in.
The squirrel found twelve ropes and tied each bird by its leg. Then she took six ropes with birds in one paw and six ropes with birds in the other paw.
The birds fluttered their wings and flew away.
Birds are flying, and under them a squirrel is flying - holding on to the ropes and trembling with fear. Shouting to the birds
- Sister birds, enough! Take me down. I have dizziness.
The birds say:
- Oh no. Since you wanted to fly, we will lift you up to the very clouds and spin there all day until you fall ill. Especially since you're stealing testicles from our nests. Here you will know how to steal.
The birds fluttered their wings and rose even higher.
And the squirrel hangs under them and from fear “mother” cannot say.
And out of fear, our squirrel released six ropes with birds from one paw. And those birds flew away.
And the other six birds, which the squirrel held by the ropes, felt that it was hard for them, and gradually began to go down.
And then our quick-witted squirrel released two more ropes from its paw. And then two more birds flew away.
And on four birds, our squirrel rather smoothly descended to the ground. And there she immediately climbed a tree.
And she began to jump on a tree and have fun.
Another smart squirrel
And another squirrel, named Squirrel-plate, jumping from branch to branch, saw a mushroom under a tree.
“I don’t understand,” thought Squirrel, “why our forest animals do not want to use this mushroom in the right way.”
“Firstly,” said Squirrel, “a mushroom can serve as a good table. I'd rather eat at this table than on a branch. I can fall from a branch, and I can drop food. And here, how convenient. Secondly, - said the squirrel, - it is very uncomfortable when it rains: I get wet and catch a cold. I am constantly coughing and sneezing. And if I take a large mushroom with a thin stem, it will completely replace the umbrella. Wow, it's nice when it's raining. Thirdly, - said Squirrel, - the mushroom will help me in one more thing. When the sun is very hot, I don't like it, because I'm wearing a fur coat. I want to be cool. And let me have a mushroom instead of a shady arbor. Finally, said the squirrel, I can jump from the tree with this mushroom. He will be my parachute.
And the squirrel, climbing a tall tree, jumped down, holding a mushroom in its paw. And she was very happy and pleased that she came up with such a great idea.
One dog, named Leshka, saw a sausage on the chest of drawers. And there was no one at home.
Our dog got courage and decided to pull off this sausage.
And she wanted to eat this sausage so much that even her eyes lit up and saliva flowed.
Here the dog sees the sausage, but cannot get it, because the chest of drawers is high, and she herself is small, a little more than a cat.
She is small, but quite cunning. She thought a little, like a professor, and this is what she came up with.
First, she pulled out the bottom drawer of the dresser with her teeth.
Then I climbed up on this drawer and pulled out the second drawer a little.
Climbing up on the second drawer, she pulled the third drawer out quite a bit.
And then it turned out something like a ladder.
And our dog calmly and without anxiety climbed this ladder, took out a sausage and ate it without a trace.
Then the owners came. They were angry that the sausage had disappeared and wanted to beat the dog. But when they found out how the dog got the sausage, they did not beat her. They just laughed and said:
Oh, what a smart dog we have! Even we are not sorry that she ate the sausage.
Visiting the clown
One clown lived outside the city. He had a cottage there with a big fence.
And all the people passed by and did not see anything special.
Once a clown invited me to visit him.
He said:
- Come to visit me, and you will see a lot of interesting things. I have trained animals. They all do some work around the house and do not sit idle.
And so I went to visit this clown.
I open the gate, enter the garden and see a striking picture.
Elephant watering flowers. A bear with a tray goes and brings lemonade to the owner. Saw-fish cuts firewood. The monkey on the roof cleans the pipe. A woodpecker nails a board that has fallen off with its nose. And at the porch on the stairs are two huge lions waving their tails.
The owner says:
- Go boldly. Do not be afraid. All my animals are trained - they will not touch you.
And I sat down with the owner at a table, and the bear brought cocoa on a tray.
The owner asked:
- Well, do you like me?
I say:
- Very like. It is especially beautiful that you have a fountain in your pond.
Clown says:
– No, I have a whale swimming there and playing tricks with water.
I drank cocoa and began to say goodbye to the owner.
The owner says:
- Some other time, come back, I'll show you what's going on inside my house. There I have hares washing dishes. Squirrels clean their boots. Crabs crack nuts. Cats open doors. Dogs sit in chairs. Foxes sleep in beds. So I have nowhere to go - I sit all day in the garden and drink lemonade.
I said goodbye to the clown and went to the exit. It was already dark. A giraffe with a lantern illuminated my path. A goose pecked at my leg when I accidentally stepped on the garden bed. The bear opened the gate.
And I went outside and went home.
funny stories
stupid story
Petya was not such a small boy. He was four years old. But his mother considered him a very tiny child. She fed him with a spoon, took him for a walk by the hand and in the morning she dressed him.
