The Statue Of Verrückt

When one is mulling over summer getaways, Kansas City, Missouri is not a destination that comes to mind. However that may change after May 23rd, when Verrückt, the world's largest and tallest water slide located at the city's Schlitterbahn Water Park. While the park officials will not reveal how tall it is until the opening day when they hope to smash the Guinness World Record, they boast that it definitely surpasses the height of the current record holder - Brazil's 14-story high Insano. To put it in perspective, Verrückt is taller than the Niagara Falls or the Statue of Liberty! Experts speculate that it measures at least 17-stories tall. Jeff Henry is also responsible for many of the Water Park's other unusual attractions like the inland water surfing, uphill water coasters and endless tube rides
that is why people call him the ''The Wizard Of Water''. I would love to ride this slide and go to Schlitterbahn Water Park, Because I love water slides that take my breath away and it looks really fun and interesting.

Ultra Micro Chip

This micro chip was created by Jung-Chih Chiao. Measuring 1.8 millimeters at their widest point, they are very small. Chiao who built the prototype with his associate Smitha Rao, came up with this idea whilst contemplating how best to capture the energy of the large gusts of wind that blew through his backyard, to power his sensors or night lights, without installing a giant wind turbine. Because he is in the process of obtaining a patent for his invention, Chiao will not disclose details about how much power each windmill is capable of generating. The best part is that Chiao and Rao who are still fine-tuning the windmill are already brainstorming with Taiwanese manufacturer WinMems Technologies Co., about bringing these micro energy producers to market. This means that the day when we will all be proud owners of windmill chargers is not far away.
