http://i.imgur.com/z1Tma.jpg

The Nuclear Age coincided with the Cold War and the funny thing about that time is that competition between the two blocs in the world (U.S. and USSR) led to the experiments practiced all kinds related to new technologies and, of course, also with atomic energy.

Some of them could be categorized as a little 'odd' and now we bring the case is one of them. Someone in the U.S. It was the concern of wondering if the beer would be adversely affected by the radiation produces an atomic bomb, so they decided to include it in any of the nuclear testing era.

Leaving aside what led someone to ask this question and why, what is interesting is the result. During one such experiment placed a series of typical beer cans at a distance of 1.5 km and 3 km from the explosion of a nuclear bomb with the idea of ​​later analyze and check what happened to them.

Surprisingly, the effects of radiation on the beer cans were minimal to the point stated that scientists might be used as 'Emergency drink' in case of the occurrence of some kind of nuclear disaster.

Regarding taste, looks like it was hit, it took a strange taste but apparently not much. In any case, the interesting part is the moral. If you ever see the need and you can choose, instead of drinking contaminated water always resort to a few cans of beer you can find.

If you are someone who is conscious with the savings in resource consumption are surely those who usually take a shower instead of a bath for spending just under water. Still, a shower means spending several liters of water directly into the drain end. This invention arrives to give one second to use water from the shower in an original way: get the shower-washing.

This is an invention made by a Turkish designer based on the water you used to shower not pulled, but ends in a special tank. On the side of the shower find the second part of the idea, a washer with an unusual vertical format that you use water stored in the reservoir.

Logically, the water that is stored is not there as it came out of the shower. Before reaching the tank passes through a carbon filter Seri, organic and chemical. This way you make sure to remove any dirt, shampoo / shower gel etc.. Purified yque is not going to get dirty clothes in the washing machine instead of cleaning.

The idea is rather curious to the point that one day may become a common appliance in homes in some parts of the world, especially in those where water is becoming a scarce commodity. For now it is just a concept Hangsgrohe winner Efficient Water Design Prize 2012, but designers are already working on a working prototype.
