HydraPak's new pocket-friendly SoftFlask collapsible water bottle

HydraPak's new pocket-friendly SoftFlask collapsible water bottle: "While water bottles are great for staying hydrated, they aren't so great once you're hydrated and they're empty.

HydraPak's new SoftFlask helps get the empty water bottle out of your way by collapsing into a tiny package."

Forze team unveils new hydrogen-powered racer: "On the right side of the racing fence you have your combustion engine. Politically incorrect to some but a highly efficient piece of engineering design that transported millions for the past hundred years and kept Beijing smoggy since 2008. On the left side of the power debate, you have your battery-electric options. Heavy, costly and slightly dangerous, this mode is still in its evolutionary infancy but is making headway against its dinosaur brethren."

Fusion Power Could Happen Sooner Than You Think | Popular Science

Fusion Power Could Happen Sooner Than You Think | Popular Science: "In a presentation that seems ripped from the Atomic Age, Lockheed Skunkworks says it might be a decade away from producing a power plant based on compact fusion reactors. Unlike current nuclear reactors, all of which use fission, nuclear fusion does not easily produce materials that can be used in nuclear weapons. Fusion reactors also offer better containment, easier shutoff, greater energy efficiency, and less radioactive waste than their fissioning cousins. Of course, with something this promising, there has to be a catch."

NASA's basement nuclear reactor

NASA's basement nuclear reactor: "If Joseph Zawodny, a senior scientist at NASA’s Langley Research Center, is correct, the future of energy may lie in a nuclear reactor small enough and safe enough to be installed where the home water heater once sat. Using weak nuclear forces that turn nickel and hydrogen into a new source of atomic energy, the process offers a light, portable means of producing tremendous amounts of energy for the amount of fuel used. It could conceivably power homes, revolutionize transportation and even clean the environment"
