00:00Has your trusty phone ever let you down?

00:03More times than you can count?

00:05It always seems to run out of juice at the worst possible moment.

00:08You forget to top it off, or you end up in an area with no service.

00:12And let's not forget how useless it can be in an emergency, like during a tornado

00:17when there's no signal.

00:19But fear not, there's a cool project called MeshTastic that uses a wireless protocol to

00:24keep you connected with your friends.

00:26It's like magic, using a radio band called LoRa for encrypted messages.

00:32It works in literally any external conditions.

00:35Plus, each device can act as a repeater to extend the range of your messages.

00:40Perfect for disaster recovery or just keeping tabs on your kids.

00:44For less than $25, you can get a starter kit to join the MeshTastic fun.

00:49Add a GPS module and a battery and you've got your own private channel.

00:53No more stressing when your kids are out and about.

00:56You can instantly see where they are.

00:58And if you're feeling daring, you can even send low-bitrate audio through the airwaves.

01:04Now I'll bet there's a bunch of things your car just can't do.

01:07Can it lean into corners?

01:09I don't think so.

01:11What about adjusting its own width to park easier?

01:13I know your answer is no, but let me show you something then.

01:17This cutie is called Trigo EV.

01:20And even though it looks like a futuristic stroller, it's actually a fully functional

01:24quadricycle you can totally drive.

01:27It was initially created for delivery and car-sharing purposes, but it turned out cooler

01:31and way more comfy than expected.

01:34If you ever find yourself driving this electric, let's call it a car, shall we?

01:38You won't need anything else but a tiny patch of land to park it.

01:42It has a maximum speed of 56 mph.

01:45Not bad for such a tiny car.

01:48In cruise driving mode, it measures 58 inches wide, but a mechanism allows the front wheels

01:54to retract toward the chassis, reducing the width to 34 inches.

01:58The electric four-wheeler weighs slightly over 1,000 pounds, with a total permissible

02:03mass of around 1,600 pounds.

02:06Right, it all looks futuristic and fun, but I feel safer in good old SUVs.

02:12Ever wished you had an extra arm to help you out when your hands are full?

02:17Scientists have figured out how to control a robotic third arm using just your diaphragm

02:21muscle.

02:22Easy as pie, if pie is easy.

02:24This awesome discovery was made in Switzerland as part of the super-cool Third Arm Project.

02:30They had volunteers wearing exoskeleton arms and a sensor belt to track their diaphragm

02:35movements, all while navigating a virtual world in VR.

02:39After over 150 sessions with 61 volunteers, most people found it a breeze to control three

02:45arms at once.

02:46They could even multitask, chatting and looking around while using the third arm.

02:52Recently, a new fully autonomous delivery service with fast-food joints was launched.

02:58This means no people involved from pick-up to drop-off.

03:01It's called Flytrex, and it's been delivering using drones since 2017, teaming up with big

03:07names in retail and food to bring you quick and cheap deliveries.

03:11They're currently flying high in North Carolina and Texas, with plans to expand nationwide.

03:17Their goal is to make deliveries faster and cheaper using their trusty drones.

03:21Your order could be at your door in as little as 5 minutes after it's ready.

03:25Now that's speedy!

03:27Flytrex got a huge increase in customers and even FAA approval for long-range drone

03:32deliveries in 2023.

03:35Partnering with big brands like Unilever and Papa John's, they're definitely on a roll.

03:39More a pizza roll!

03:41The MonoCab Owl Project is all about making a super-cool monorail vehicle for getting

03:46around in rural areas sustainably.

03:49The MonoCab is a clever little autonomous monorail vehicle that can balance itself on

03:54a regular rail without any extra support.

03:57Its slim design allows it to zip along single-track lines in both directions, perfect for some

04:02unique rail mobility ideas.

04:05It's like a fun service-on-demand option that's way more exciting than your usual

04:09transportation choices, especially for reviving old railway lines in rural areas.

04:15Everyone on the MonoCab Owl team is stoked about shaking things up in rural mobility.

04:20Right now, there's a lack of good eco-friendly and budget-friendly options for getting around

04:25in less populated areas.

04:27Reactivating old railway lines is a great start, but we need some fresh ideas to really

04:32make it work.

04:33That's where these small, self-driving rail vehicles come in.

04:37They bring together the best of rail travel with on-demand booking and a cool digital

04:42navigation system.

04:45Look here!

04:46Can you identify what this weird-looking object is?

04:50It's a mobile solar container with foldable solar panels for green energy on the go.

04:56Just pop out the panels, unfold them, and you're good to power up equipment and properties

05:00with green energy wherever you are.

05:03The solar container can extend up to almost 400 feet in length when fully unfolded and

05:08has 240 solar panels.

05:11It's perfect for both on- and off-grid uses, like rescue missions and outdoor events.

05:16And it only takes about 5 hours to set up.

05:19Easy peasy!

05:20There's even an automatic conveyor system for easy folding and unfolding of the panels.

05:25Just push a button and start harnessing solar power.

05:28SolarKant, the Austrian company that invented it, estimates this mobile solar container

05:33can power around 32 households.

05:37Virtual meetings are all the rage nowadays.

05:40No chats are cool, but let's be real – they're no match for face-to-face meetings.

05:45We can see each other, hear each other, but it's still pretty flat and 2D.

05:50Or shall I say it was flat?

05:53The thing is, Holobox from Holoconnects is bringing holograms to life.

05:58This super-cool device lets you project a life-size hologram of yourself – or anyone

06:02else – inside a funky box.

06:05Just plug it in, connect it to the Internet, and voila!

06:08You've got a hologram ready to go.

06:11You can even connect multiple boxes to showcase big stuff like cars or anything else.

06:16Now holograms are a massive game-changer for remote communication.

06:21Imagine chatting with someone and seeing them in 3D like they're right there with you.

06:26Plus it adds a personal touch to presentations, training sessions, ads – you name it!

06:31What do you think?

06:32Does this look cool or creepy?

06:35Check out the latest creation from a rockstar team of engineers at NASA Ames Research Center

06:40in KBR – a robot system that can autonomously build structures using lattice blocks.

06:47Their paper in Science Robotics explains how these robots and blocks work together to create

06:52amazing things.

06:54Designed for future lunar missions, these robots can lay down foundations for shelters

06:58before astronauts arrive.

07:01Three robots work together to carry and connect blocks with twisty edges, similar to assembling

07:06Ikea furniture.

07:07They have already built impressive structures like a shelter made of 256 blocks in just

07:13over 4 days.

07:15Imagine what they could do on the Moon!

07:19Experience the interactive pearl sculpture by Breakfast – no food implied, just the

07:24name of the company.

07:25It's placed on a huge cruise ship called the Icon of the Seas.

07:29This stunning creation imitates the ocean's vibes, with rolling waves and shooting stars,

07:35each tile placed in a neat Fibonacci sequence.

07:38Using real-time data from the Caribbean, this sculpture changes constantly to match the

07:43current weather and tides, bringing the ocean to life before your eyes.

07:47Yeah, this invention won't change your life, but it's meant to nurture your soul!

07:52Have you heard about the Seattle-based startup JetToptera?

07:55They're developing innovative vertical take-off and landing vehicles with bladeless propulsion

08:00systems, promising a future of quiet, safe, and fast urban flight.

08:05By 2050, 70% of the population will be living in cities, leading to crowded streets.

08:12But JetToptera's Fluidic Propulsion System offers a solution, using air pressure technology

08:17for silent operation.

08:19JetToptera is also working on a high-speed VTOL for the US Air Force, with plans for

08:24passenger-carrying prototypes by 2026.

08:27Well, that's exciting!

08:29That's it for today!
