10 TECHNOLOGIES THAT

WILL SURPRISE YOU

10. Hoverboards 9. Helicopters Turn into Planes Then Back

into Helicopters

8. Bionic Limbs 7. Invisibility Devices 6. Electromagnetic Railguns

5. Laser Weapons 4. Bionic eyes 3. Self-Guiding Bullet 2. Organs Grown In a Lab

1. Fusion Reactors

10. HOVERBOARDS• The SLIDE hoverboard is powered by

magnets and superconductors cooled by liquid nitrogen• Custom skate park in Barcelona, Spain

9. Helicopters Turn into Planes Then Back into Helicopters• Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey• With its rotors in vertical position, it

can take off, land and hover like a helicopter. Once airborne, it can convert to a turboprop airplane capable of high-speed, high-altitude flight

8. Bionic Limbs• Ultra-light limbs made out of carbon

fiber and titanium• Gudmundur Olafsson history

• Mirage effect• The carbon nano tube sheets were

immersed in water and heated up, which also heated up the water, which caused light to bend away from the sheet

7. Invisibility Devices

6. Electromagnetic Railguns• US military managed to build one that

impacts like “a freight train going through the wall at a hundred miles an hour• Now, it can fire projectiles at seven

times the speed of sound, and it can hit targets 110 miles away

• Laser Weapon System (appropriately shortened to LaWS• 6 normal-ish lasers combined into one

death ray with a power of 30 kilowatts, and has the ability to roast UAVs and boats for $59-cents per shot

5. Laser Weapons

• Ray Flynn history• Converting a video feed from a camera

attached to his glasses to signals that are sent to tiny electrodes attached to undamaged cells in his retina

4. Bionic eyes

• Snipers may just have to point a red-dot at a target and pull the trigger• Ability to knock down targets at 2000

meters, and to make sharp turns mid-flight• Can also hit moving targets, whether

fired by a trained marksman or a novice shooter

3. Self-Guiding Bullet

• Managed to grow a whole functioning organ in an animal• There are also lab-grown blood

vessels, windpipes and bladders.• A custom titanium rib cage has also

been created for a patient in Spain

2. Organs Grown In a Lab

• Harness the same reactions that happen in a SUN to generate electricity• Fusion reactors represent the future of

clean energy production for our race, as we have to meet rising energy demands from a growing population
