💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🎒🏞️ The Smithsonian traces backpack #design from a two-million-year-old practice to Ötzi’s hazel-and-board frame around 3300 BCE, then follows improvements through a #CivilWar cavalry officer’s patented canvas-and-metal pack, a #Duluth #canoe-hauling design, #aluminum-frame #mountaineering models, and the nylon #JanSport that made the #backpack a school staple. Roughly 450 million are sold annually.

There is no less invention in aptly applying a thought found in a book, than in being the first author of the thought.

Danish #WaveEnergy firm step closer to commercial pilot project in #Barbados
Danish wave energy firm #Wavepiston has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Export Barbados (BIDC), an agency of the Barbados Government, as part of its journey towards commercial wave energy deployment in the Caribbean.
February 4, 2026, by Nadja Skopljak
"Initial results show that Wavepiston’s flexible sails prove effective in mitigating peak forces during extreme events, thereby validating the company’s approach of using sails composed of flexible panels to passively counter extreme events. Data was collected by multiple gauges, including force gauges, motion trackers and video recordings from multiple angles."

Oooooh... This is cool... Has there been further development on this?
'#WaveEnergy:' This Floating Spine-Like Device Generates Sea #Waves Into Electricity!
By Joaquin Victor Tacla
Published: Aug 18 2022"The #WavelineMagnet prototype, which consists of numerous floating platforms connected to give it the impression of a floating spine, was shown by the business earlier this year.
The flexible and modular system is made to allow the energy generator to follow the motion of the waves smoothly. This gives the gadget control over how much energy is collected from the waves, according to the firm."

This invention may change the world of #RenewableEnergy
February 1, 2026
"Do you know that by 2024 the total renewable energy capacity will exceed 4 tw (Terawatts)? This is equivalent to the total electricity generated in the United States. The proving grounds for the most exotic and complex projects are remote regions, whose residents regularly face the problem of a stable electricity supply. Welcome to Innovative Techs! Today you will learn how a small island off the coast of Australia will change the world with the new wave-activated power generating apparatus."

Cool short report of how we came to have automatic rice (and other grain) cookers. I use an automatic grain cooker regularly now — very convenient.
