Indian Inventions: New Tech to Plant 900,000 plants in a day






C-130 Hercules is being used by Lockheed  Martin for plantation, this aircraft was previously used as land mine dropper. The idea of UK RAF pilot Jack Walters have come into reality by military innovation company, who have managed to turn this 25 year old idea possible.


Every aircraft is equipped with all the required tools for plantation and with this each one can plant 900,000 trees in a day. The altitude at which they ll fly is about 1,000 ft at 130 knots, using the same method they ll be able to plant 3000 cones in a minute. It can't be left out without mentioning that each cone hits  the soil hard enough to bury itself into the ground. The casing of the tree bombs will dissolve itself and trees will take root, therefore providing all the necessities required for plantation and growth of the tree. At present, 2500 C-130 planes are unused in 70 countries ready for plantation and solving the problem of deforestation.

Latest Indian Inventions is Electronic Display on Clothes

The latest Inventions is in the domain of light emitting devices which will change the way humans light their houses and design clothes. The device looks like a thin film of plastic, which is able to conduct electricity and create solar power.
Scientists are still working on the international project ,which will bring the organic light emitting devices to the masses. Hence, this invention could drastically cut costs by billions of dollars each year for light emitting devices.
The size of the film is so thin, this plastic film can practically be put on any house-hold product, for example, clothing could, for the first time in history, display specific electronic information.

There are many ways of using this OLED, for example change the color of clothes, beer can would be able to display various sports results. Moreover, they are more efficient than light bulb these days.
Currently the use-cases are in mobile phones and MP3 players but these OLED are not reliable for large TV or computer screens.
In order to improve its efficiency so that later it can be launch to mass market, the international consortium of researches, Modecom, headed by the University of Bath, United Kingdom, have started a three-year project which will cost about $1,700,000.

Modecom has 13 groups from 9 universities and two companies. There are three groups from the United Kingdom, six groups from the United States and one group from China and one each from three European countries including Belgium, Italy and Denmark. Only the European countries and China will receive financial aid from the European Union.
The coordinator of Modecom is Dr Alison Walker, who represents the Department of Physics of the University of Bath. "This is a long-term project, and the contributions of many scientists are needed for its success ... Success in achieving the goals of cheap, efficient and long lasting devices is essential as we must do everything we can to reduce our energy costs," he stated

Indian Inventions


Worlds Smallest HD display is here, OrtusTech, claims to develop worlds smallest HD display with measures 4.8 inches and its panel has a resolution of 1,920 × 1,080.
The high-end resolution device was create with the help HAST (Hyper Amorphous Silicon TFT) microfabrication technology, developed by OrtusTech itself.
The high resolution of device is possible with company's idea to squeeze in 458 pixels per inch.
It is able to support 16 million colors, the device also provides a viewing angle of 160 degrees.
The company assures usability of the new technology in HDTV equipment, screens, monitors, smartphones and handheld video consoles.


It's comparison is being done with iPhone 4′s Retina Display is sized at 3.5 inches, features 960×640 resolution and a pixel density of 326ppi.
