Thinking outside the Box?

Design and Concepts!

What makes engineering and development into new inventions is to come up with something completely different from what we see and understand now? 

This is the product of genius and their are a few alive today, but it has to be the right financial backing that will help to take the chances that are needed in research!

When we look at various ideas that are coming to the fore, based on the knowledge that we now have some may be impossible to achieve that is why vision is called for to make these things happen!

Humanity can rush into many things for political reasons and for their own egoism or showmanship, but we do not want to make the mistakes of the past in chancing it and hoping all will go well?

Hovercraft.

'Riding on the magic carpet.'

What a great invention, that today has multiple uses around the world from swamps to tundra, to deserts and sandy river estuary's. The hovercraft has come a long way, via the military and ferry travel to perhaps more practical applications.

Nearly every country in the world uses the air-cushon system from search and rescue to pleasure activities. This is only a touch introduction, but later we will take closer look at those early day developments and visit Russia, Italy and the U.S.A., while coming back around the Great Britain.

Freezers. Part-One.

Advancement for Humanity.

The ability to freeze goods has given the world a great advantage, perhaps one of the biggest in human history. 

Today we have freezers on aircraft, shipping, fishing trawlers, factories and trucks both road and rail cars. Meanwhile various types of goods from meats to flowers can now cross thousands of miles and arrive fresh the same day.

Prior to the invention of the refrigerator ice and cool boxes were it and food could not really be moved very far or kept very long. Flowers really had to be picked fresh and many other things eaten with in at least 24 hours.
