Technology from the University of Wisconsin to “print” images in the air with a cascade of water droplets. They call it AquaScript.
The Youtube comments suggested exactly what iw as thinking… that this is a really neat technology, but the true genius of it would come out if they had a matrix of valves (instead of a line) and thereby created 3-D images.
Three things that seemingly have nothing to do with each other, but John Kanzius stumbled on a link between them. While trying to do his own private research on ways to battle cancer, he was working with radio frequencies to attack cancer cells. What he found was that the radio frequencies he was using separated the hydrogen and oxygen from salt water, enough to hold a constant flame above a test tube filled only with the salt water.
Discovered just as most great inventions through time: while researching something completely different, someone stumbles on something completely new and unrelated.
The only thing I wonder about is the same I wonder about the other guy who ran his car on water recently, it’s (sort-of) conservation of energy. Or rather, does it take more energy to get the “fuel” out of the water than is obtained from burning it as a fuel?
