Verrückt Water Slide

Picture From Here

   The Verrückt water slide is at least 17 stories tall, they say it is taller than the Statue of Liberty and Niagara Falls! The amusement park isn't releasing the measurement or the speed  of the slide until the day it opens. To get to the top you have to climb up 264 steps! Jeff Henry is the person who built it and he has built many water rides before, but he said that this is the best of his work by far. the rafts that you sit in to go down the slide can hold 4 people and they are made out of railroad tanker cars. This water slide opens May 23, 2014 for anyone brave enough to go down it!

Micro Windmills

     Jung-Chih Chiao, Electrical Engineering Professor at Texas University, invented the Micro Windmill when  he was thinking of ways to best capture the energy of the wind in his backyard without installing a big windmill. the windmill is 1.8 millimeters, so small that ten could fit into a grain of rice! They can be used for emergency chargers if your phone is dead and save many lives. They are really powerful and a few thousand could be used to power the lighting and communication of a family household. They are brainstorming with WinMems Technologies Co. to get it to the market, so one day soon we could have our own Micro Windmills!
