The POT It has been essential for the creation of many inventions that have helped man to discover hundreds of mysteries in outer space, but it has also developed objects that accompany us in everyday life.
On the website of teach me science they shared the five inventions created by the US space agency that we use today. We are not referring to spaceships, although it would be fun to have one at home, but they are objects that help us.
Portable vacuum cleaner
Common to man, but created for space purposes. In the 1970s, NASA developed a mini battery-powered handheld vacuum cleaner, which also ushered in an era of batteries that enabled the use of portable devices. It worked to extract any type of sample.
Wireless headphones
This is the NASA invention that we use every day. The space agency developed wireless headphones for astronauts to communicate, without the need for cables.
baby formula
You did not expect this. The potential of algae as a recycling agent in long-duration space travel was tested. The microalgae substance was added to more than 90 percent of commercial baby formulas that can be found today.
invisible braces
These orthodontic appliances were created from translucent polycrystalline alumina, the same material that was discovered while experts were researching ultra-resistant polymers to cover radar equipment without diminishing its signal.
infrared thermometers
In an attempt to test some instrument that could measure the temperature of stars, NASA tested infrared technology. Based on this idea, a company invented the infrared-based sensor, which was inserted into a hearing instrument to measure the energy that is emitted by the eardrums in the ear canal.
