Sometimes, we use objects to enjoy everyday without do not know / want to know about the ins and outs of the object as its inventor, mechanical workings and the technology used. But thanks to the hard work of NASA scientists atauNational Aeronautics and Space Administration to examine and make every effort to develop aerospace equipment, then these technologies be applied on items that you probably use every day. Here are my findings inform 10 of NASA technology that most of us use in everyday life.
1. The first discovery: Air Filters.
Water is a substance that is essential for human survival. Because man can not live without water, the ability to extract the dirty water into clean water is a remarkable achievement of science.
The astronauts need a way to get clean water in space, because the bacteria and the disease can be deadly in space. Water filtration technology has been known since the early 1950s, but NASA wants to know how to purify water in extreme situations and keep the water clean for a long period.
If you see water filter, you can usually find a small chunk-bangkahan charcoal in the filter. Sometimes, when you first use a water filter, you will find small black spots on the chunks. The activated charcoal and contains silver ions that neutralize pathogens in the water. Along with killing bacteria in the water, the filter also suppresses the growth of bacteria. Large companies have implemented this technology and has brought us water filtration system. Millions of people use water filters at home telang them every day.
2. The second discovery: Hardware-Appliances Wireless.
When you clean up dust and dirt on the floor of the house using a cordless vacuum cleaner, you're using the same technology used by astronauts on the moon. Although Black & Decker has found the first time powered tools batteries in 1961, which is similar to findings from NASA to refine the technology from Black & Decker as medical instruments wireless or handheld vacuum cleaner forms and others.
In the mid 1960s, in preparation for the Apollo missions to the moon, NASA requires tools to take samples of rocks and soil on the moon. Drill a small and lightweight, compact and powerful enough to dig deeper into the surface of the moon. Because looking at the moon outlet is not possible, NASA and Black & Decker discover and develop powerful tools batteries, magnetic drill. Used in the context of the environment of outer space, Black & Deckermengembangkan a computer program for equipment that reduces power consumption and maximize the use of batteries.
After a NASA project, Black & Decker equipment working principle was applied to make other equipment to be powered batteries that can be used everyday society.
3. The third discovery: Special Coating On the Way.
Layer on the highway allows a higher friction of the tire to reduce the number of accidents due to slipping. Well this layer was originally used by NASA on the airfield where the plane landed Ulak space.
Now, a lot of toll roads around the world use it to increase friction on the tires so the grip is stronger. The essence of the problem is to make non-slip footing even though there is water on its surface. Example, in the modern pool also contained a layer at its edge.
4. The fourth discovery: The Smoke Detector Adjustable.
Where there's smoke, there's fire. NASA engineers knew that a simple pact when they were designing Skylab in the 1970s. Skylab was the first space station owned by Americans, and the astronauts had to know if the fire and smoke should not be any room in the station. Working closely with the company Honeyball, NASA found the first smoke detector with sensitivity levels of different alarm sounds to suppress errors.
For the consumer market, the product is called ionization smoke detector. Which means that the tool uses a radioactive element called americium-241 to detect smoke and harmful gases. When the clean particles (oxygen and nitogen) moves through the detector, americium-241 ionizes the particles, which produces electrical particles. When smoke particles enter the detector, the smoke will interfere with the interaction detektir and oxygen, and then trigger the alarm to go off.
5. The fifth discovery: Telecommunications Long Distance.Long distance phone probably is not something foreign to most of us. Cell phones and VoIP services through means of technology has become cheap nowadays. Although NASA was not the inventor of the telephone, but the long-distance telecommunications meant here is not just the phone. Even the technology was developed several decades.
Before man sent into space, NASA build satellites that can be communicated to humans on Earth and show what kind of space it is. Using the same satellite technology, around 200 satellites orbiting in space communications every day. These satellites send and receive messages. These satellites membuaat we can call our friends in Italy while we were in Indonesia. NASA overseeing the location and condition of each satellite and make sure we can enjoy a long-distance means of communication every day.
6. The discovery of the sixth: Technology Sol Shoes.
Currently athletik shoes adopts the technology of used boots Neil Armstrong. How can that be?
All clothing designed for space missions including Apollo shoe design. Shoes that are worn by the astronauts using small spring embedded in the bottom of the shoe. This spring helps the astronauts more comfortable to step on the moon. Athletik various shoe companies adopt this technology to create a shoe that can reduce the negative impact on the feet and joints in the foot.
In the mid 1980s, shoe companies Kangaroos USA applying the principle of this technology and material used astronauts shoes on line athletik sepati new models mass produced. With the help of NASA, patented technology Kangaroos Dynacoil three-dimensional foam polyurethane which distributes the force on the foot that occurs when walking or running. By mixing the fibers into the foam material, kangaroos shoes absorb energy from the feet hit the ground / road, and reflect the energy back to the foot.
Now, the other shoe companies, AVIA, also uses technology shoes athletik astronauts on shoes.
7. The discovery of the seventh: Ear Thermometer.
Check the body temperature when sick can be a complicated job. Standard thermometer (mercury) is very difficult to read, and the kind that rectal really uncomfortable to use. In 1991, the infrared thermometer is placed in the ear to change any trouble before, simplify and expedite the review process.
Diatek, who developed this type of thermometer, the nurse noticed that the length of time it is necessary to check the temperature of treatment. Approximately one billion times pengecekkan temperatures occur in hospitals in the United yiap year, the company thought to save valuable time and terbuag the checker by using mercury. As a substitute, Diatek take advantage of technological advances in the field of NASA about the technology of temperature with infrared technology.
Along with NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, the company Diatek find decent infrared sensor to be implanted in the thermometer. Ear thermometer with infrared sensors take the temperature of the ear by the eardrum issued on the ear hole. Because the eardrum is on the inside of the body, the ear drum temperature equal to the temperature in the body aka more precision in the results were detected. Infrared thermometer was in the hospital can measure the temperature of less than 2 seconds.
8. The discovery of the eighth: Foam.
NASA helping people sleep better the night pad. Tamper foam produced by several companies in many brands. Though originally produced for a flight into space.
At first, the foam is made to seat spacecraft to reduce vibrations and blows during landing. The foam itself is made of polyurethane-silicon plastic kind. This foam can absorb ketaran and pressure even if the foam should be bullied to be one tenth its original size.
But now, it is not only the use of foam by space flight, but also used in car seats and sofas and beds at home.
In the health sector, as well orthopedic surgeon uses special foam composition to membiat bearing on the joints between the bones.
9. The discovery of the ninth: Anti-Scratch lenses.

9. The discovery of the ninth: Anti-Scratch lenses.
If you drop the glasses on the floor, sometimes the lens will not break. That's because in 1972, the administrative bodies of food pick the manufacture of plastic lenses on the glass. Plastic is cheaper, better at absorbing ultraviolet radiation, lighter, and not easily broken. But plastics also has weaknesses. Which has not been given a layer of plastic is very easily scratched, and the scratches can impair vision.
Because the dirt particles also exist in the environment of outer space, NASA needed a special coating to protect the equipment, such as helmet visors worn by astronauts. Mangambil opportunity, Foster-Grant sunglasses a manufacturing firm bought the copyright from NASA for this technology. A special coating makes the plastic lenses ten times more resistant to scratches than the lens that is not a given layer.
10. The discovery of the tenth: Invisible Braces.
A lot of teens who wear braces today. Cause visible mouth full of wires. But it will not be again in the future, because invisible braces have entered the market in 1987, and now has a lot of its kind and brand as well.
Invisible braces are made of translucent material called polycrystalline alumina (TPA). Company called Ceradyne developed TPA in collaboration with NASA advanced research in the field of ceramic to protect the infrared antennae on radar missiles.
Some time later, another company called Unitek developed a new design for braces. The design is more aesthetically pleasing and comfortable as well as tikak shiny. This type of braces found that the landfill can be right ingredients for strong enough to hold the teeth and shiny, making landfill used to produce invisible braces. Because of its popularity that instant, invisible braces became the most successful products in the orthodontic industry.
