Here are three examples from the minds of China’s young inventors.Foot Controlled MouseThis new kind of mouse is controlled by the feet instead of the hands, to helpdisabled people when surfing the Internet.The new invention is called a “surf mouse”, and looks like a pair of blueslippers. When users press the slippers with their forefeet, they are clicking theleft mouse button; when people press with their heels, they are clicking the right mouse; when they roll their feet over the slippers, they can surf Web pages.Dirty Water FilterThe “pump of life”, a filter, can make dirty water drinkable. The pump is over 30 centimeters long. It has an in-pipe at the top and out-pipe at the end. There are two main parts: the drive zone to pump water and the material zone to eliminate harmful things. Rain fish tank water and coalmine water can all be cleaned in the material zone. The invention could be used for many kinds of disaster relief. The inventor of the filter told us that water was delivered by helicopters to Wenchuan in 2008. If the water-purifying equipment had been sent instead, people could have had more water faster after the earthquake.Transformer V ehicleThe multi-functional vehicle is named Tranfus.
