The Fetal Monitor
Another thing that we have now a days is the fetal monitor. This invention to me was one of greatest things in the world. I remember when i pregnant with my son and if I got scared because he didn't move around as much. I would just put the headphones on and be able to listen to my son's heart beat through the fetal monitor. Which in 1960's is when to professors named Prof. K. Hammacher and Hewlett-Packard came up with this was the first" commercially available non-invasive fetal monitor".(Bellis) The first one "HP 8020-A fetal monitors which were also known as the babysitters"(Bellis) came out for customers in the Spring of 1968. This was able to tell the "fetal distress during labor". (Bellis) Not only during labor now they can use them at belly check appointments. Or you can even buy one at the store. It's a very helpful equipment.

Ultra Sounds
Ultrasounds scans have been around since the late 1950's. The Obstetic Ultrasound is what is used for pregnacy to see the fetus in the belly. The equipment that is used is called a real-time scanner. This real-time scanner is the "continous pictures of the moving fetus can be depicted".(Woo) Also the machine has sound waves durning the ultrasound that run "between 3.5 to 7.0 megahertz'.(woo)Some of the other things that ultrasound also do is you hear the fatus heartbeat. It could tell rather or not the fetus has a fetal heart and even some malformations of the fetus. Other thing that it can tell you is the "gestaronal age,size and growth in the fetus."(woo) Another thing that a ultra sound can do is tell the gender of the fetus. But that all depends on the fetus. The can only tell if its postion right.

Blimp
A group of engineers working for a Spanish company, Turtle Airships, is working to build a luxurious solar powered blimp that could carry passengers from New York to Paris silently and emissions free. The outer surface for the giant airship will be covered with photovoltaic cells that are expected to provide enough energy to move the ship at 40 mph under normal weather conditions. This blimp and other similar designs have large carrying capacities, exceeding that of todays largest jet aircraft which makes them viable for cheap and efficient transport of trade goods internationally.

Green Beer
A new technology makes beer green! A project, funded partly by the Australian government will employ the use of microbial
fuel cells to generate energy from waste water at the Foster's Brewing Co. production plant. The use of the new fuel cell arrives as the food and beverage industry face pressure to become more environmentally friendly. This technology not only provides energy but also leaves behind clean water and much less CO2 then other means of production.http://www.beveragedaily.com/Products/New-technology-makes-beer-green
Swimming with the sea creatures
The Innerspace Dolphin and other water vessels are designed to look and behave like actual dolphins. They have a small engine in the back and controls that allow the driver to dive, jump, barrel roll similarly to a dolphin. The smaller of the dolphin models costs around $50,000 and became available this spring for water enthusiasts world wide. Dolphin boat concept is came from variable attitude submersible hydrofoil that was invented by Dusty and Doc in 1987 who’s real names are Thomas Rowe (as Doc) and Dennis Kaiser (as Dusty).
