Love the notion of thought transfer. This is cool visually but not nearly technical enough.
How would you go about engineering it to work? Today and tomorrow I’m trying to learn CAD by shadowing a product designer friend, so share thoughts and I’ll take a stab at a rendering!
But until a more impressive method comes along, i guess we just have to rely on drawing, speaking, and writing?

A 9 year old boy made an arcade out of cardboard. Watch this moving short film by Nirvan be inspired to make things. over $90K raised in 2 days. over 1 million views. tons of conversation.
Caine is the coolest kid ever and I hope he becomes a very famous engineer some day. He’s brilliant and his mind is a reminder to me to solve problems and take action. don’t by a claw hand game, make one with a string and a hook. i want to go to his arcade!

AMAZING NEWS for the planet and all those who live on it:
It is estimated that almost 1.6 billion people on this planet live without electricity. To have light in the darkness, toxic fuels like kerosene are used to fuel lanterns. While they provide much needed light, they also pollute habitats and endanger the health of those living inside.
BUT NOW…..enter NOKERO, from a Denver inventor named Stephen Katsaros, who named the solar light he developed Nokero, short for “no kerosene.”
The solar battery powered LED-type bulb measures 70mm by 125mm and emits light for two to four hours, depending on the charge. Such a clean, low-cost technology might eventually make lighting fuel (read: kerosene & other carbon uglies) obsolete.
The Nokero website states that 5 percent of the average user’s income is spent of fuel for lighting. The price of a Nokero bulb and charger package is $15.
The Nokero bulb is being manufactured in Hong Kong, under the business heading, Nokero International, LTD. This manufacturing base allows the company to deliver “the world’s only solar powered light bulb at a quality and price point that can not be met by traditional manufacturers / distributors:
“Nokero’s vision is to provide solar light bulbs to replace kerosene lanterns used throughout the world. We work with dealers, non-governmental organizations (NGO), donors, and proactive groups around the world to make this vision a reality.”
The inventor, Stephen Katsaros, says his career has been centered around innovation—ranging from product development to intellectual property. He holds a Bachelors of Science Mechanical Engineering (BSME) from Purdue University (1996) and was a non-degree seeking student at the Bard Center of Entrepreneurship at the University of Colorado, 1998-1999. He received a B.F. Goodrich Collegiate Inventors Award in 1995.
