Já é tempo dos Portugueses saírem da Idade da Pedra, e começarem a pensar que as Invenções não nascem das àrvores, nem de Super-Homens do Intelecto, mas sim de simples mortais como todos nós...
Com exemplos como a Via Verde, e tantos outros, podem ver que não é preciso ser-se Estrangeiro para Inovar.
Para ajudar a que tenham algumas bases, em vez da balofa Conversa de Café, eis um Projecto do nosso amigo Eng. João Marcelino:

You can help shape the future of Autodesk technology
There's another issue of Innovation Edge, the Autodesk Labs newsletter, available for your perusal. This brief publication highlights technologies and utilities available on Autodesk Labs. Something people don't always know is that technology previews are free. All we ask is that you try them and give us feedback on your experience. This applies to Subscription users, non-Subscription users, and students.
Os Húngaros é que não têem medinho de Inventar, e parabéns por isso, como o demonstra este exemplo, duma Scooter que vira uma Mala com rodas!
MOVEO folding electric scooter heads to unique crowd-funding website
Ben CoxworthRemember the Moveo? It’s an electric scooter that we covered back in February, which folds in half so it can be pulled indoors like a rolling suitcase. Now, its designers have turned to the public to raise money for commercial production of the vehicle. They're one of the first groups to do so using Jump Start City, a just-launched website that puts a new spin on crowd-funding

DLR’s free-piston linear generator redesigns the range extender
Darren Quick
Technically, the combustion engine in any hybrid vehicle is a range extender, but the term commonly refers to gasoline-fueled generators that are used to charge an electric vehicle’s battery pack but aren’t used to directly power the wheels. This is the set up used in “series” or “inline’ hybrids like the Chevy Volt, which differs from parallel hybrids like the Toyota Prius, where the wheels can be driven by the electric motor or the internal combustion engine (ICE). Researchers at the German Aerospace Center (DLR) have developed a new type of range extender that can be powered by a range of different fuels.
