Wireless Charging - By Jaydon Headrick

Batteries are one of the worst areas of improving in science. Almost never do they make better batteries. I think batteries can be improved in many ways, and here are them. Also I will be talking about wireless charging.

They Should Make Them Smaller! The car batteries are HUGE, and If they make them smaller with more energy, that will Help! Here is the good news for tablets and smartphones, “A new research paper details the efforts of a team at Stanford University who are looking to create a lithium battery that, if successful, could lead to much longer battery life for smartphones and tablets, but it could take several years for that research to yield practical products.” I think this is some big news, cause if this works, then they might use lithium battery’s for everything!

Now Ill talk about wireless charging, I don’t mean the mobile charging, I mean in the energy in the air and charging.

            Meredith Perry has created this wireless charging working with uBeam.

She made a prototype of this wireless charging. So what happens is that the main “panel” converts electricity into sound and gives out sound energy. Then The Panel on the back on your phone it captures the energy and converts it backs into electricity.  She Said it worked, and this might change the future.

“We’re going to sell directly to consumers, and we’ll sell them to restaurant chains and hotels — we are going to saturate the market with uBeam transmitters,” Ms. Perry said. “In addition to your local coffee shop saying it has free Wi-Fi, it will also say it has free uBeam.” – Comment from Ms. Perry.

            Another example of this is Proxi, and the best one yet. What happens is you put a ring in the back of any electronic device or anything the uses electricity. Here are the steps what happen.

1. “Mains voltage is converted into high frequency alternating current (AC).
2. The alternating current (AC) is sent to the transmitter coil by the transmitter circuit.  The alternating current then induces a time varying magnetic field in the transmitter coil.
3. Alternating current flowing within the transmitter coil induces a magnetic field which extends to the receiver coil (when within a specified distance).
4. The magnetic field generates current within the receiver coil of the device.  The process whereby energy is transmitted between the transmitter and receiver coil is also referred to as magnetic or resonant coupling and is achieved by both coils resonating at the same frequency.
5. Current flowing within the receiver coil is converted into direct current (DC) by the receiver circuit, which can then be used to charge the battery.”

So this will be greater than uBeam, because it is more supported. I can’t wait until everyone has this so when you go somewhere your phone and everything else will still be charging. This will be the new future.

3-D Body Part Printer - By Jaydon Headrick

3-D Body Part Printer

The 3-D Body Part Printer Actually makes body parts, and is still being researched.

This New Printer Will Drive the Medical Technology Age up because of what it does.

Like when someone has a liver that doesn’t work they could just replace it and live longer! “The parts are created by nozzles laying down fine sedimentary layers of material that build a product indistinguishable from an item that has rolled off a factory conveyor belt.” Now Your Probably asking, How does it Stay alive? Every time a layer is put down, Real human cells are put in the layers so the “ear” looks a little weird but its real!

I think This New technology will be safe in many ways, like instead of it being Robotic, it looks and feels more real and it has real human cells. And this is Good because if you take the patients cells and multiply them, and use them in the 3d printer, it will be less likely the body will rebel from it.

“The company has printed strips of human liver tissue in its labs, although they are still very small: four by four by one millimeter, or about one-fourth the size of a dime. Each strip takes about 45 minutes to print, and it takes another two days for the cells to grow and mature, said Organovo CEO Keith Murphy. The models can then survive for about 40 days.

Organovo has also built models of human kidneys, bone, cartilage, muscle, blood vessels and lung tissue, he said.

"Basically what it allows you to do is build tissue the way you assemble something with Legos," Murphy said. "So you can put the right cells in the right places. You can't just pour them into a mold."”

This is how you make the Models, I Think it is a cool thing how they can build and make bones and all these organs! If this starts to come how soon, I think people will have better lives.
