Sometimes genius is found in re-creating everyday tools. For Ann Makosinski, that is exactly what she did. The founder of Makotronics Enterprises, Ann Makosinski has created the Hollow Flashlight and eDrink. The Hollow Flashlight is a Flashlight which runs off of the power of your hand, and the eDrink is a mug which uses heat from the cup to create power.
Ann discusses how she loves to inspire others through talking about her achievements. At the same time, she is not set on her inventions, but is still exploring what she wants to do in life. At age 20, she has time.
If these inventions are reliable then it would be pretty neat to see where she takes them. Energy is on the way to becoming more efficient.
Wow, I love how she has not defined her life based on her inventions and achievements thus far. I like that she is still looking for her calling and purpose and realizes she is young and the whole world is still in front of her. However, those inventions are very cool, especially the flashlight one, picking up a dead flashlight is the worst and so to have one that runs of your hand means it would never die!
These are really cool ideas that are extremely impressive considering the fact that she’s only 20. I wonder what other ideas she’ll come up with over the next few ideas.
This is a cool story! Her inventions are so intriguing, especially since she is only 20 years old.
It is interesting that she came up with a couple of ways to get energy. It is surprising that such a young person is able to accomplish such a feat.
I’m interested to see how the body’s energy will be used in other inventions. There are so many things that could be done with that technology. Maybe cell phones one day will be able to be charged by just holding onto them.
Super interesting to transform a free resource that is always wasted, into something useful. This repurposing of energy could be the next big thing, and I can see a multitude of positive impacts that it could have in our world today.
Being friendly to the environment always makes me want to sign up for a product. The flashlight is amazing, as so many batteries are thrown away each year and cause so many problems for the environment. Hopefully the cup can help cut down on the use of Styrofoam cups which are also harmful the the environment. Sounds like some great products making their way into the future!
