The key to our future and to the development of future generations is the energy revolution. We have to reconstruct the present so that our children will be able to see their future. These are important words about our future that are spoken by John F. Kennedy, the President of the United States himself. Although the video is fake, made by Greenpeace for the launch of their Energy Revolution campaign, it is moving nonetheless.

Russian designer Yuriy Dmitriev has developed a refrigerator that keeps food fresh without any doors, drawers or motors. The Bio Robot Refrigerator uses an odorless biopolymer gel, which morphs around the food, creating individual pods. The gel absorbs heat (infrared radiation) and emits it in the visible spectrum, as well as protects from ultraviolet radiation that can damage the products. Food items are individually cooled at their optimal temperature and the Bio Robot Refrigerator can be placed vertically and horizontally, making this innovative appliance adaptable and sustainable.

The DustBot project, coordinated by Professor Paolo Dario from the Sant’Anna School in Pisa, Italy, has developed two robots, DustClean and DustCart. DustClean cleans and disinfects the streets, while the DustCart moves around the city, picking up waste discreetly. The robots are equipped with a touch screen that demonstrates statistics about the air quality, and also has sensors which pick up the CO2 levels, oxides, and thin dust particles. The DustCart has a belly where it inserts the waste, and it debuted for the first time in Osaka, Japan, thanks to the collaboration of the bio-robot laboratories of the Sant’Anna school, and the International Advanced Telecommunications Research Institute of Kyoto.

Today’s students are carrying as much as 40% of their body weight in their backpacks because of heavy books and computers. The AirPacks ergonomic backpack is designed to reduce the stress to your back muscles cause by all of the weight through “air technology” that uses a combination of air-filled straps and a lumbar cushion to redistribute weight to the muscles in the lower back. The AirPacks backpack reduces stress on the body by 80% and promotes an upright standing position.

Imagine being able to send a sound to a single person or location. MIT researcher, Joe Pompei, has created a way to make that possibility a reality through a new technology that directs and controls sound waves. Traditional speakers transmit non-directed sound at wavelengths of several feet. Pompei’s Audio Spotlight transmits millimeter-sized, ultrasonic waves in a very narrow beam of sound, which becomes audible as it travels through the air. These new waves can travel much further, and more focused, than normal sound waves. With the Audio Spotlight, sound can be controlled with the same precision as light.

The Senseable City Lab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has developed a fleet of robots designed to clean up oil spills in the ocean. Seaswarn, the fleet of oil absorbing robots, is a new system for ocean-skimming and oil removal that uses hydrophobic nanomaterial in order to separate the oil from the water. Seaswarm’s eco-friendly material can take on twenty times its weight in oil, and is even re-usable. The robots, which are able to communicate with each other through GPS and WiFi, work together without any human interaction, and are the next step in solving current environmental issues.

A thirteen year old girl, by the name of Severn Suzuki, and the spokesperson of an environmental group called ECO, spoke before representatives in the United Nations. Filmed more than fifteen years ago, her words still resonate with the fears we have today. The video speaks about the future. It underlines the fear of a future that could no longer exist, and what we should be fighting for to prevent this from happening. The price of our future, of the technological change, is in the resources that we consume in order to generate wealth. We must first think about the sometimes irreversible changes before we proceed. And if we are making our ecosystem pay too high of a price, we should ask ourselves if we need to slow down and think about alternative solutions.

FlyRad, designed by Thomas Rank, is an electric unicycle that takes transportation to new and adventurous limits. The eco-friendly one-wheeled motorized vehicle allows the users, equipped with a pair of inline skates, to sit, stand, or squat, as they are driven down the street. FlyRad comes in three sizes, one for adults, one for teens, and one for children, and can reach a maximum speed of 40 mph. The lightweight and compact vehicle is ideal for both eco-friendly transportation as well as extreme sports.

Dickson Despommier, a professor of Environmental Health Sciences and Microbiology at Columbia University, developed the idea of vertical farming with some of his graduate students. The goal is to grow crops and raise animals in skyscrapers in city centers. In this green skyscraper it would be possible to cultivate agricultural products within a city for all of its own inhabitants.
