I was talking about invention yesterday. I should have included this event as well, the competition of 'European Inventors 2011' held on 19th of May it's 6th edition, in the Academia of science of Budapest. Created in 2006 by the European Office of Patents and the European commission, recognising creative and innovating ideas of the inventors.
This year 15 projects competed in areas of science, medicine and technological innovation, for instance, a method to identify the deceased cells in Alzheimer sufferers, and a device of ultraviolet rays to disinfect water. Amongst the judges there was the president of the European Paliament, Jerzy Buzek, and the inventor of the Rubik's Cube, Erno Rubik himself.
(The Rubik's Cube is a 3D mechanical puzzle invented in 1974 by Hungarian sculptor and professor of architecture Erno Rubik, originally called the 'Magic Cube').
Amongst the innovative inventions, distinguished the design of low-cost eyeglasses that use bags of self-adjusting fluids. Another is the use of porous and biodegradable silicone for therapeutic applications for cancer patients, and for engineering body tissues.
It never stops to utterly amazed me, how somebody can just be sitting there, sauntering in the street or while taking a shower, turning ideas in his head and suddenly comes up with never thought of before ways and projects to make advancement in the mankind and mark history.
