5. Synthesis of New Materials
The 20th century witnessed an explosion in the development of synthetic materials, as well as the creation of new combinations of materials to achieve desired physical effects.

6. Desired Performance
Now there is a whole new generation of novel materials with specifically with specifically tailored properties.

13. Improving Strength
How to bond the metal to the remaining bone. Regular bone cement is brittle and last only for a few years!
Add a porous metal powder to the cement causes a rough surface to rub against the bone causing bone growth that forms a more permanent intertwining between bone and metal.

53. What Turns The Wheel?

55. Wind Turbine

58. Conventional wind generators with rotating blades do not scale down well.

60. Due to high friction of moving parts and other mechanical components, size does matter!

62. Wind Belt

63. Wind belt is a vibrating membrane that can generate electricity.

64. Wind belts do not require any mechanical moving parts so they do scale down well.

65. This small wind belt generator produces power sufficient for battery charging.

66. While enjoying the outdoors, your wind belt generator can easily recharge your portable radio, iPod, iPad, cell phone, small LED flashlight and much more.

67. This smaller wind belt can be used in situations where conventional wind generator would normally fail to give useful power output.

68. Wind belts are particularly suited to providing electricity in isolated areas of the developing world.

69. Where solar or conventional wind power are too costly or simply inaccessible.

70. Design & construct a small scale, low-cost wind belt.
