Europeans have finally discovered Miswak and are selling the revolutionary toothbrush for £3.90

A Czech company named Yoni recently posted a video about a "revolutionary" new product called the Raw Toothbrush, full of ~ minerals and vitamins ~.

Just FYI — Yoni is the Sanskrit word for female genitalia.

It has so many benefits!!!!

It even has its own little test tube to be carried around in.

However, like most revolutionary ideas people have had of late, this idea too comes from a tradition many across the world, especially Indians, have stuck to for thousands of years — a miswak twig.

The most commonly used twigs have been miswak and neem, and they cost much less than £3.90.

Of course, people immediately started calling them out for waking up a few thousand years late to the benefits of using miswak.

When will this stop?!

The next breakthrough invention! Edible water bottle ball aims to replace plastic bottles

Ooho is a drinking water product created by a startup known as Skipping Rocks Lab. The product is reported to hype up the internet due to making “eating water” possible and getting rid of plastic bottles at the same time.

According to Extreme Tech eating water was made possible by the startup due to the product's packaging. Ooho was seen as a spherical blob which has water encased in it making it a squishy bottle. Yet, the huge surprise is that you could actually eat the whole blob of water with no plastic bottle needed.

Ooho was mentioned to be created through seaweeds used as its membrane. The edible bottle’s membrane was composed through spherification which includes sodium alginate from seaweed and calcium chloride. Each ball was then mentioned to only take 2 cents in order to produce it thus saving money as well.

Moreover, amid Ooho being edible, people are still given the choice whether to eat the membrane or not since it was identified to be tasteless and has an unusual surface when eaten. Yet, people could still throw it away and not eat it because as it was mentioned to be biodegradable it will just break down as a compost on land or ground over a week or so.

Furthermore, the Ooho product aims to be “the global solution to water and drinks on-the-go.” The startup mentioned that they also aim to replace and get rid of plastic bottles as they pose a great environmental issue to the world.

With that said, BGR reported that the downside of the product not becoming global is that it only makes one gulp of water compared to a bottle. Another disadvantage of Ooho was its delicate membrane not being able to toss it anywhere or pack it into someone’s bag pack.

Ooho was first unveiled back in 2014 and is now envisioning global customer targets to reach their goals. The Skipping Rocks Lab’s Ooho product already has 1,000 independent investors willing to help them fund money on their site online. The startup also mentioned that they are now currently working on another seaweed based product that would aid in sustainable packaging solutions.

7 Inventions that could blow your mind

Its time to get tech savvy, and here are some inventions that could take the market by storm.

1. MakerBot Digitizer

Printing in a 3D format and scanning objects other than flat papers was only a far-fetched dream till the time the MakerBot Digitizer became a reality. It’s a desktop device that can scan almost any small object up to about 8 inches in diameter. Place the item on its rotating turntable, and the Digitizer uses two lasers and a webcam to create a 3-D digital file within 12 minutes. Once the digital scan is completed, an object can be manufactured right away by feeding the resulting file to a 3-D printer. It’s much easier and faster than using any software to design a digital model from scratch and you know the best part about it? It’s absolutely user friendly. 

2. Soccket

The gadget which looks like a soccer ball has power (in the literal sense). You play with it and kick it around for 30 minutes; its internal mechanisms convert the kinetic energy to electricity which can last for about 3 hours. A total 16 hours of play can make your Soccket fully charged with power for 72 hours.  People across the globe may soon find themselves powering their homes by doing something as delightful and simple as playing a game.

3. Bounce Imaging Explorer

The Bounce Imaging Explorer has six cameras packed into a rubber orb, the size of a baseball, along with a Wi-Fi transmitter and sensors to detect things like temperature and air quality. The data it picks up can be beamed back to the user via a smartphone or tablet. So in case of any emergencies, disaster responders, police, or fire fighters could throw the camera and check the situation before entering the place themselves.

4. Oculus Rift

If you are a hard-core gamer, this tech invention can truly change your life. Your dream to enjoy games in a 3D experience can be an easy reality with the Oculus Rift. It is a head-mounted, virtual-reality device designed specifically keeping gaming in mind. The high-definition 960×1080 per-eye display reduces the screen-door effect and improves clarity, colour, and contrast. The idea behind the goggles-and-headphones style contraption is to immerse players in a 3D world that’s as close as possible to the real one.

5. Gravity Light

Even today, one-third of the world’s population is deprived of electricity. The Gravity Light is the perfect gift for those who do not have access to light as we know of it. It is a simple, ingenious device that generates light without access to electricity. The portable device doesn't have any batteries; it does not require any fuel either. Instead, you hang the lamp on a wall and fill the bag attached with any heavy material that weighs between 8 to 12.5 kg.  The weight slowly pulls a notched belt through a series of gears to drive a small motor, which powers an LED - ambient or directed light, depending on what you need, for about 30 minutes. It can even be used to power other low-voltage devices like radios or batteries. Awesome, isn’t it?

6. Automatic

A bit of the smart-car future has already found its way to our existing vehicles with a small device called Automatic. Automatic pulls data about your engine and driving habits and displays the results on your phone with the help of Bluetooth (iPhone BT 4.0, Android BT 2.1+). It maps out each trip using GPS, tallies gas usage and mileage, and gives you a driving score. It even remembers where you parked. This surely is going to give you a perfect car ride!

7. Argus II

The Argus II Retinal Prosthesis System functions as an artificial retina in the light-sensitive part of the eye that collects image information and passes it along to the brain through the optic nerve. People with a disease called retinitis pigmentosa (RP) lose the retina’s light-sensitive cells. Argus II is a boon for them. The device is surgically implanted in and on the eye and is connected to an exterior video processing unit (VPU) consisting of eyeglasses that have customized edge and contrast enhancements along with a 20 degree maximum possible field view. 

Guys what do you all think. Which one is your favourite from these inventions?
