Creator Of 5 Hour Energy Has New Inventions To Help End Global Poverty

Manoj Bhargava, the creator of 5-Hour Energy, has plans to start production of some new inventions that will help eradicate poverty.

Like other billionaires such as Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates, Bhargava plans to give the majority of his net worth to philanthropic causes. In fact, Bhargava has pledged to donate 99 percent of his $4 billion fortune. He wants to spend most of that fixing many of the problems that contribute to global poverty, including the lack of access to clean water, food, and health care.

Here are four inventions that Bhargava and his company are working on.

Free Electricity Machine

This device is actually pretty simple. If you pedal for an hour then you start the generator, which generates 24 hours of electricity for the battery. Once installed this bike will cost $0 and will have 0 emissions. This bike initially costs $100 and the first 50 will be tested in 20 villages in India. Mass production will start in India after the testing is completed in the first quarter of next year.


Renew

This machine essentially mimics an auxiliary heart. Renew squeezes blood from the lower extremities into the core body while the heart is at rest. Renew isn't really a cure for illness, but a machine that improves one's health before an illness occurs. Bhargava says that, by improving blood circulation, Renew can help prevent heart disease and strokes in the developing world.


The Rain Machine

In an hour this machine can convert 1,000 gallons of any water into drinkable water. The Rain Machine is also clean and efficient, as it recycles its heat energy. Half of the world lacks access to clean water, so this machine could not be any more essential right now. This machine will also allow people to purify water and store it for a drought or other times of need.


Limitless Energy

A few miles underneath the ground, unlimited energy sits in the mantle of the Earth. With a material called Graphene a cable can be created and put into the ground so that heat can be conducted to the surface of the Earth.

Without burning fossil fuels or generating energy through high costs, Bhargava claims that Limitless Energy can help save the environment from further damage.


Bhargava gets it. He once said, “Talks don’t help anyone out of poverty. Awareness doesn’t reduce pollution, grow food or heal the sick. These take doing. The solutions are here: great inventions that generate clean energy, that make fresh water and improve our health."

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
