A set of scientists who run a YouTube channel dedicated to scientific innovation invented a Stillsuit that recycles sweat. They were inspired by the novel and movie Dune, making this groundbreaking innovation possible.  This stillsuit is useful in water-scarce environments like deserts. It can recycle both sweat and urine and produce drinkable water. Let’s have a close look at this newly invented Stillsuit. How is it made?

How is it made?

They made a suit covering the whole body, collecting all body fluids including sweat and urine. They used a thermoelectric cooler to make it cool inside the suit. Otherwise, the wearer could not wear it for a longer time. They manage to create a functioning system to collect the urine and sweat from the wearer.

Their team member, Sherk wore the Stillsuit and tested. He drank purified water through a tube. They uploaded that successful Stillsuit testing video to their YouTube channel recently.

Who made it?

Hacksmith Industries is a growing YouTube channel dedicated to engineering research and innovations. They take inspiration from movies, novels, and comics to create real-world prototypes.

The owner of the channel is James Hobson. He quit his engineering job and found his YouTube channel for innovations. Hacksmith team makes mind-blowing innovations inspired by novels following their passion. These guys made the Stillsuit possible in 2024.

Inspiration From Art

“Dune”, the epic sci-fi movie gave the inspiration for this innovation. In that film, there is a desert planet, called ‘Arrakis’ where every water drop is precious. In Arrakis, people wear a fully-body-covered suit called a Stillsuit.

So, to sum it up

Hacksmith engineers plan to improve this Stillsuit. Scientists state that this can be used in water-scarce environments. In addition to that, environmentalists highly praise this innovative attempt since it helps to conserve limited water resources.

What would a colony on the Moon look like by 2040?

An Argentinian-American businessman has come up with the idea of colonizing the Moon with the mission of creating a basic habitant on the Moon’s surface by 2031. Similarly, NASA expects people to live in the Moon’s dwellings by 2040. Guillermo Söhnlein, the co-founder of the Titan submersible company OceanGate, developed this idea called Project Moon Hut. He envisions creating a sustainable future for humans by transforming the Moon into a habitable place.  The colony on the Moon will be a combination of advanced and sustainable technologies designed according to the unique condition of the Moon.  This project will expand the human presence on space and advance technological and scientific capabilities.  The roadmap to a Moon colony The duration it takes to establish human presence on…

What if you stopped sleeping

What if you stopped sleeping?

Could you eliminate sleep from your life? Think of all the extra hours you’d gain. More time to work on projects, hang out with friends, or indulge in hobbies.

What if humans could photosynthesize? 

Imagine a world where humans could harness the power of the sun, just like plants. Instead of eating food, we could simply absorb sunlight to fuel our bodies to photosynthesize. By exposing yourself to the sunlight throughout the day, you’ll not even be tan, you might be full of green like Shrek & Princess Fiona. This is one of a science fiction by John Scalzi, let’s have a look on what happens if humans could photosynthesize. The science of photosynthesis Photosynthesis is the process plants use to convert sunlight into energy. It happens in the chloroplasts, which are tiny structures in plant cells filled with a pigment called chlorophyll.  Chlorophyll captures sunlight, and plants use this energy, along with water and carbon dioxide, to produce…

What Happens To a Person When a Submarine Implodes?

A tragic event unfolded when the TITAN submarine experienced a catastrophic implosion during its descent into the Titanic shipwreck. Understanding the consequences of such an event raises questions about what happens to a person when a submarine implodes. In this article, we will discuss the effects of an implosion on those inside the vessel. What Happens to a Person When a Submarine Implodes: When a submarine implodes, enormous water pressure causes the hull to suddenly collapse. In the case of the TITAN, debris found 1,600 feet from the bow of the Titanic confirmed that the vessel likely suffered an implosion, as mentioned in a report by Insider. The pressure at extreme depths is so immense. For those inside an imploding submarine, the experience could cause…
