1. We are talking about solar roofs (https://e-solarpower.ru/solar/solnechnye-elektrostancii-dlya-doma-i-dachi/ekonomiya-ru/) and even roads made of solar panels. Coated in a silicon-based resin that can withstand the weight of large cars passing by, they generate enough electricity to power street lights. They may not be very effective right now, but this is certainly just the beginning.

2. This device consists of floating beams and platforms and is designed to clean up the ocean from plastic debris. Its guiding principle is passivity: instead of chasing debris across the sea, it uses ocean currents and winds that naturally spread plastic.

3. "You don't have to reinvent the wheel," they said. “We just did it,” said Goodyear, introducing a spherical tire that allows cars to move in many new directions, including sideways into a parallel parking space and at certain angles and speeds.

4. The 3D printer itself is an extraordinary invention, but what these two companies are doing is truly admirable. The Walt Disney Company is generously granting royalty-free licenses to Open Bionics, which 3D prints children's prosthetic arms in a variety of ways.

5. This idea sounds so simple you'll ask why no one came up with it before. It is a system that broadcasts video footage from the front of the truck to 4 screens in the rear, giving drivers a clear view of what is ahead. This feature is needed in many countries with winding and narrow roads.

6. It is not only a decoration but also a source of oxygen. Green spaces installed outside process heavy metals, filter harmful gases, and trap dust. Inside, real farms can be used to grow herbs or simple vegetables.

7. No more squatting in an unsanitary public restroom. This device is made of medical-grade silicone and allows girls to urinate standing up. Neat and hygienic. This is what a feminist victory looks like today.
