COOL INVENTIONS
Here's an eco-friendly way to tell time: Simply fill the Bedol
Water-powered Clock's tank (箱) with
water, add some lemon juice, and the clock will display the time without the
need for environmentally harmful batteries．There are
two sets of metal electrodes (电极) inside
the water tank．Water contains ions
(离子) that carry negative and positive
charges．These ions complete a
charge between the electrodes, creating enough energy to power the clock．Just refill the tank every few weeks, and this clock will keep on
ticking.
Bloodhound SuperSonic Car (SSC) will be the first car to attempt
to break the l,000-mile-an-hour barrier．(The
current record is 763 miles an hour.) A concept for now, the rocket-shaped car
gets its initial push to 350 miles an hour from a jet engine．Then a rocket fires up, pushing the SSC past 1,000 miles an hour．In order to keep the car streamlined (流线型的), the driver lies back at a 45-degree angle.
You're having a blast at your friend's birthday party．But when it's time to bring out the cake, everyone crowds around,
blocking your view．No worries．Throw the Triops into the air, and this clever camera captures the
view from above．The Triops can take
three pictures at once, each from different angles．You can also record sounds and command the Triops to start
shooting whenever it hears that noise．That's one
smart camera.
