Have you ever read the story about the founder behind Segway? Oh wait…. Do you know what is a Segway in the first place? You can see people using it in the Singapore Science Centre or even Changi Airport.
Looks pretty cool yeah!! I saw Dean Kamen riding on his amazing invention in Atlanta, Georgia, USA during the closing ceremony of the First Lego League World Festival 2008. (That place was hit by a Hurricane before we went)
So where is Dean in the news again? So…During the closing ceremony, he mentioned that his team has been working on a new invention that promises to turn filter water of all type into pure, drinkable water. After spending 10 painful years working on his idea, HE FINALLY MADE IT!!!!!
Slingshot is the invention that will help save millions of lives yearly but unfortunately, the manufacturing cost is like USD200,000. ZOMG. !)$*)!$)!$&)!$&)!&$!)$&!@$)&
I feel that the Slingshot is a really cool thing not because of what it can do but the small little dream of Dean Kamen that will change the whole world. Let’s play our part by spreading the news about the Slingshot and have more people sponsoring Dean’s invention to help save the human race.
