Best of What's New

Posted by: Dr. Mercola
December 01 2005 | 668 views

Popular Science is one of my favorite magazines, and I've been subscribing to it since 1968. They've given out their Best of What's New awards to the best innovative technologies of 2005. Here are their awards for engineering.

One Bryant Park is the grand prize winner. Set to rise 54 stories above Manhattan, the crystalline Bank of America Tower at One Bryant Park will incorporate an unrivaled number of environmentally friendly technologies.

The building will supply 70 percent of its own energy with an on-site natural-gas-burning power plant. The building will even have waterless urinals and use water collected from the roof to flush toilets.

Other nominees included:

East Japan Railway Fastech 360
Faster than a speeding bullet train

Ferretti Yachts with Mitsubishi Anti-Rolling Gyro
Calm seas all the time

Ocean Power Delivery Wave Farm
Supplying energy to homes using only the motion of the ocean

Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Bridge
Wisconsin winters are no match for this plastic bridge
