  • Skycar. M400 Skycar, developed by Paul Moller, founder and CEO of Moller International in Davis, California. According to Moller, it is able to be driven as a normal car, but also has four large turbofans, which provide the thrust to lift it into the air. Once in the air, the fans turn backwards to propel the skycar like an airplane. The Moller team says it will be able to reach speeds of up to 375 miles (600 kilometers) per hour. A computer will actually control the craft, meaning it will require little training. It contains 4160 HP (rotary) freedom engines.

  • Amateur rocket launch warning sign. Launch of a rocket during the annual Black Rock X amateur rocketry event in the Black Rock desert, Nevada, USA. This huge flat expanse of land is a popular launch site for large and powerful amateur rockets as it is far from civilization and has little natural animal or plant life.

  • Baboon blood research for cryonic purposes. Surgical staff checking a baboon in an ice bath during an artificial blood experiment. The baboon's blood has been replaced with an artificial substitute. Here, its body temperature is being cooled to below 10 degrees Celsius for three hours. Artificial blood can aid the preservation of organs and tissues before transplantation. It can also be used for emergency transfusions, as a replacement for blood lost in surgery and as an alternative to blood during low temperature surgery. Artificial blood also removes the risk of infection and does not trigger an immune response. Cryonics is a speculative life support technology that seeks to preserve human life in a state that will be viable and treatable by future medicine. BioTime, California, USA, in 1992.

  • A man rakes muck out of open sewer outside microloan beneficiary Roseline Amondi's small restaurant in the Kibera slum, Nairobi, Kenya. (Roseline Amondi is featured in the book What I Eat: Around the World in 80 Diets.) The raking of muck raises the level of the street over time.  Trash is also burned in the dirt street, as the streets and alley are too narrow for garbage collection, and even fire engines, raising the risk of huge slum fires. Kibera is Africa's biggest slum with nearly one million inhabitants.

  • A fifteen-centimeter-tall robot scout, Schempf's Mini-Dora is intended to help police check out potentially dangerous situations. Unloaded from the back of a squad car, it could investigate buildings without risking the lives of police, as Schempf demonstrates by driving it up the front steps of an abandoned factory in a crumbling industrial section of Pittsburgh, PA. From the book Robo sapiens: Evolution of a New Species, page 145.
