I have often been grossed out when people talk about the possibility of surviving on their own urine. But with the way the world is progressing, it may soon be the case.

I hope your mind (and stomach) didn’t do the somersaults with the previous statement but chemical engineer Gerardine Botte came up with a means of generating energy through urine.

The Botte team reported last year that they had been able to generate hydrogen from urine and confidently stated that progress was being made towards the successful creation of such a device.

So the next time you really have to pee, make sure you collect it. It may come in handy, if you run out of gas.

The scary part about driving cross country is the way those wild deers chose to dart across the road at the exact same time that my car is passing by.

However the Deer Whistle is a new automotive gadget that could probably let me sit back and relax a little bit more. The device works simply. All you have to do is attach the device under your car, as if you are travelling at a speed of over 35 mph, it is said to produce a sound that would make a deer freeze.

The instrument is fitted under the front hood and can be used even by those who are technologically challenged. To add to it all, one can buy it for as low as $7.98.

Buy a plastic bottle of drinking water and you get some gas for free!

No, this isn’t an advertising campaign launched by a mineral water manufacturing unit, but an idea conceived in Japan, that is almost revolutionary, at a time in history when the whole world is obsessed with the possession of oil.

The Japs have succeeded in putting together a machine that can convert plastic into oil – whether gasoline, kerosene or diesel. The innovative device has an ability of converting a kilo of plastic into 1 l of oil. And the best thing of all is that it’s environmentally safe.

My bet is that this is the world’s future. This device is bound to change the world.
