Check out this week’s episode! It features a new wind turbine that collects moisture and converts it into drinking water through a complex filtration system. What separates this filtration system from the rest is that it does not need an external power source, so they can be implemented in areas…

This week’s episode highlights a new type of hearing aid that cancels out interfering background noise for people with hearing aids. The device amplifies frequencies commonly used for conversation and the user can “re-tune” by cupping his or her ear if the frequencies change wherever you may be….

This new technology developed by Arena Solutions allows you to compile a BOM that can be accessed through cloud storage. The new app is called PartsList and it is absolutely free. This easy-to-use application allows you to simply add component parts to your project list with clean and simple…

Check out this new American company’s new air/land automobile and its debut at this year’s New York International Auto Show. The car/plane can reach altitudes of up to 4,000 feet, but is required to take off and land at an airport strip. Once it lands, it is then street legal to drive off of the…

This Week In Engineering brings us a cool tip on a new bendable E-Reader from LG that is one step closer to paper simulation. This new prototype has a similar black and white display as the other industry leaders like the Amazon Kindle and has the capability to bend up to 40 degrees from the center…

Check out the latest episode of “This Week in Engineering” as they describe how scientists at MIT have developed an alternative to the defunct Concord airplane. They have determined that using biplane body could be more fuel efficient than its predecessor and a have less sonorous of a sonic…

See how scientists proposed a model for a magnetic levitation (Maglev) train that shoots through a massive vacuum-sealed tube in order to reach orbital velocities and propel the train into outer space. This could dramatically reduce the costs from shuttle launches, yet the proposed tube launcher…

Check out this new prototype for a floating wind farm capable of producing 54 megawatts. This was developed by the island nation of Malta in order to reduce their energy costs and boost renewable energy production from 2% to 20%. This video was produced by www.engineering.com
