A Working Invention and technology today can be both an impressive and scary. There is simply no denying that it’ll make your life easier and more convenient under the right given circumstances, but is there a point when too much is too much?

Some inventions and technologies are so ubiquitous that it’s even hard to imagine that they just started as a scribble on a piece of paper, while some technologies are so far-fetched that most people wouldn’t have imagined that they’d ever come into fruition.

Take the Internet, for example. Today’s generation pretty much grew up with the Internet. It’s something that’s always existed for them. It’s as natural as eating, while it is still considered a futuristic technology to many.

Despite this, you might be surprised to learn that there are a lot of inventions and technologies that never see the light of day. Some get made and have the potential, but just never reach the mainstream. Maybe these technologies are potentially too dangerous. Whatever the situation is, you’d be surprised at some of these inventions and technologies that you’ll likely never heard about.

Military Mind Control Technologies

The Us military uses a lot of equipment, but there is no single piece as important as the helmet. And, you’d really be shocked at how much the design of the helmet has changed over the years. Not only has the design changed, but the technology that’s gone into it has changed greatly as well.

After all, its main purpose is to stop a speeding bullet, so you can imagine the research and study that went into it. Well, that might have been the main point of the helmet in the past. It seems that today’s helmet is designed for mind control. There is an Arizona university researcher who is currently working under a grant from the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to develop a helmet that can regulate a solder’s brain.

The main technology behind the helmet is known as transcranial pulsed ultrasound and it delivers high-frequency sound waves to specific regions of the brain to issue command and orders. By targeting different areas of the brain with different sound waves, people from remote regions could control soldiers on the battlefield.

The Pencil Pusher Invention

It’s likely that you’ve heard the term pencil pusher thrown around before. When used in this type of context, it usually refers to someone that works behind a desk. Well, this invention could change the term entirely if it ever reaches the light of day. This one comes from a trio of Chinese researchers, and it is a device that is designed to take paper and turn it into pencils.

You insert your paper into the three-hole punch-looking device and it rolls it up while compressing it at the same time. When compressed, it inserts a piece of lead from a storage container and a small amount of glue. Before you know it, you have an active, working pencil.

This design was specifically made to help combat the problem with paper waste in the United States. It was estimated that US businesses use about 21 million tons of paper every year. This averages out to about 175 pounds of paper for each American. Needless to say, this puts a huge strain on the environment. Luckily, these are things that online casinos like Kasyna never have to worry about. They’ll always be sustainable when it comes to paper and similar waste products.

Perpetual Printing Technology

No one can deny that modern printing hasn’t already come leaps and bounds from what it once was. First, there were the daisy-wheel printers, then came along the dot-matrix printers, then inkjet and laser printers. Heck, today there are even 3D and 4D printing technologies available.

The only problem is, with all of these devices, you still need paper or some kind of medium, and lots of it! Not to mention the expensive toner and cartridges to go along with it. Why isn’t there an inkless, tonerless printer available on the market?

Believe it or not, this is something that printer manufacturers have been working on. In fact, one of the biggest manufacturers in the industry, Xerox, has been working on such technology. They have been working on it since the early 70s. The have done a good job of keeping it quiet that not many people know about it.

This model is called a Gyricon and it is more of a paper than a printer. It is a sheet of thin layered transparent plastic that contains millions and millions of small cavities. The cavities are filled with colored oil and rotate. When a color is chosen the printer will apply a voltage and cause the beads to rotate to the corresponding color. This is virtually a piece of paper that can be used over and over to create a variety of images, messages, or notes.
