Iron Man suit

鋼鐵俠戰(zhàn)衣

Have you ever imagined what fun it would be to fly to school? This Iron Man-style suit from a British company could make your dreams come true.

The suit allows users to fly just like Iron Man. Wearers can take off straight and fly through the air. It is powered by five mini jet engines— four are built into units close to the hands and one is built into a backpack. It can reach a top speed of 80 km per hour. There is a long way to go before this technology is available to everyone, as the suit is still quite expensive - one model recently sold for $ 440, 000 (about 3 million yuan). It is also very noisy. The inventors hope to improve it in the future.

3D-printed houses 3D

住宅打印

Food, water and home are basic human needs. But there are 1.2 billion people in the world who don’t have a proper house to live in. The 3D printed houses made by ICON in Texas may help to solve this problem. The company can print a single- storey 60-square- meter house in just 12 to 24 hours. The walls of the house are made of a special cement(水泥) that looks like cream. Later, workers can make the walls stronger. The 3D-printed houses use less cement than normal houses, If all goes according to plan, 100 homes will be built for people in The Republic of Panama in Central America this year. Each house costs $ 10, 000 (about 69,000 yuan).
