Harmony, beauty and justice are what everyone can bring to this world. But some of us are capable of changing it dramatically and in a big way. Moreover, this does not require suitcases of money, special connections in the right ministry or a large bribe to an official. Now you will see inventions that at first glance are very simple and may even seem useless to someone, but who knows, perhaps in the future they will radically change our world. After all, now they are helping millions. So let's go.

Anti-drought ice mortars "Towers of Ice" are helping the Himalayans adapt to climate change. They are created by the Indian engineer Sonam Wangchuk. He laid a siphon pipeline from a mountain river to one of the villages. Escaping under pressure from a vertical pipe, like a geyser, the water freezes, forming a 20-meter ice tower, reminiscent of a Buddhist sanctuary - a stupa. In the spring, such a "stupa" melts, irrigating dry land. The system is easily scalable and the engineer then piped 50 more towers. Well, at the end of 2016, Sonam was invited to Switzerland to create an ice stupa. The project was successfully implemented and today the company is engaged in the widespread construction of ice towers around the world.

Iron fish - against anemia A Cambodian company has made a fish capable of combating iron deficiency, which is found in 3.5 billion people due to malnutrition. It would seem a useless invention - fish are made in Cambodia from scrap metal, which is tested for quality. When cooked, it releases iron, which then enters the body. Basically, this iron deficiency is due to a poor diet that does not include red meat and vegetables. And for Cambodia, this is especially true, since more than half of the population lives on less than $ 2 a day. Maybe for the inhabitants of Russia, too, to invent some kind of fish, only not iron, but, for example, with vitamin D? Indeed, according to the conclusion of the Federal Research Center for Nutrition, Biotechnology and Food Safety, 80% of Russians have an acute shortage of this important element.

Now let's move on to digital technology. (Disassemble it) Raspberry Pi - a computer for the poorest For many poor people, the main problem when buying a computer is its relatively high price, but with the advent of this computer for the poorest, this problem ceases to be relevant.

This extremely cheap computer was created by British programmer David Braben. The device is a small card the size of a bank card. You can connect external devices to it, including a network cable. The Raspberry Pi has a 700 MHz processor and flash-based read-only memory. The cost of such a computer is 25 and 35 US dollars, depending on the modification.

Here's another gadget: Kilgoris Project - an e-book instead of textbooks E-books for students from poor countries are cheaper than $ 100 tablets, and most importantly, one such e-book can store all textbooks in all subjects for all years of study. And the economy allows you to fight the chronic shortage of electricity.

Now about football: Home power plant in a soccer ball A group of students have come up with a way how even children can generate electricity for their own needs. They created a soccer ball that generates energy while playing. An hour of playing football can provide a person with light for the evening. Moreover, with the help of this device you can also charge mobile devices - phones, e-books, tablet computers.

Convenient Water Carrier In rural areas, you often have to walk many miles to get water. It is tedious and time-consuming. The "water wheel" can solve this problem. It has a capacity of 45 liters and requires much less effort to push the wheel. It is also robust enough to be used even on rough terrain. Due to its large volume and ease of use, it saves a lot of time and energy. It would seem that it is so simple that it makes no sense to talk about it. But how many thousands of poor people did it really make life easier?
