    INVENTION AWARDS A Chopper Shield

    By Posted on 3.4.2008 2 Comments

    How do you prevent insurgents from shooting down choppers? How do you keep a cast from itching? How do you reinvent the brick? You sketch. And then you work: nights, weekendsfor years, if you have to. You blow all your money, then beg for more. You build prototypes, and when they fail, you build more. Why? Because inventing is about solving problems, and not stopping until your solution becomes real. This week, we begin rolling out the winners of the 2007 PopSci Invention Awards. We'll be doling out a new innovation each day for the next few weeks, so keep checking back for more of what the world's brightest inventors are currently cooking up. And if you just can't wait, pick up a copy of the June issue that just hit the stands.-Eds.

    Really interesting investion. I still cant understand how does it works but it works perfect i think. And i think The group´s first two customers-the Army and a company that will use it for building maintenance-will get an ingenious device that´s also incredibly easy to master. altın fiyatları Let me know when they develop a 3D scanning version, such as how the old Sony camera lenses could see through objects by bouncing light off the object.

    I still can not belaive how does it works. Really interesting. and O have curiousity about this projects success at shooting the large intestine -- if there is feces there, couldn't this instrument get covered and lose its ability to take decent pictures? OR, is it a part of the protocol for the patient to empty his/her bowels (completely) and fast before ingesting this device?
