Eureka

a.   Chinese inventors created Pencil  Pusher, which 

turns paper, destined for recycling, into pencils. 

The machine looks like a three-hole punch crossed 

with an electric pencil sharpener.

Here’s how the pencil-making gadget works: You 

insert wastepaper into a feed slot. The machine 

draws the paper in, rolls and compresses it, and 

then inserts a piece of lead from a storage chamber 

located in the top of the device. A small amount of 

glue is added before … voilà … a pencil slides out 

from a hole on the side.

b.   Translucent  Concrete developed by Hungarian 

architect is called LitraCon. It is based on a matrix 

of parallel optical glass fibers that can transmit 

light and color from the outside... 

c.   The tiny device ‘Mini-Heart’ is formed in the 

shape of a cuff meant to be placed around a vein, 

where its rhythmic contractions help to drive 

blood  flow  while  also  preventing  the  vein  from 

becoming distended. The cuffs can be made from 

Work in pairs. Make a list of several recent inventions and define their value.
