Mouseless is an invisible working computer mouse built by MIT PhD student, Pranav Mistry. The mouse, or lack thereof, is controlled by using your hand with no hardware to control the pointer on your screen. This technology would allow for a wide range of interactions between the user and their computer, the ability to wake the computer from sleep, control volume, brightness, and of course gaming, to name a few applications.

Built by et Sol’r, the world’s first ever solar-powered blimp is set to cross the English Channel in under an hour. The vessel, made of nylon and polyethylene aluminum, is 72 feet long and 18 feet wide. The blimp is fitted with semi-flexible solar cells capable of generating upwards of 2.4 kilowatts which is enough to push it at 25 miles per hour. You’ll also notice the ship’s two large propellers which will help elevate and guide the vessel.
Sweden’s Markbygden wind farm is set to have over 1,000 wind turbines erected by 2022, that’s 1,101 wind turbines to be exact. The project would make this wind farm the largest in Europe. Svevind, the company behind the project, estimates that when it is finished, the wind farm will be able to generate the same amount of electricity as two nuclear reactors.
Probably one of the pioneering reasons this project is to be completed in Sweden is the availability of a 500 square kilometer uninhabited plot of land. Though this project could generate such a large amount of renewable energy and bring jobs and money to the country, it, like all other large scale building projects has been met with some community disapproval.
