How to save 51 billion lives for 68 cents with simple Engineering

Using the power of engineering and brilliant inventions to save lives!!! Great times collab-ing with Bill and Melinda Gates!

Summary: I met with Manu Prakash from Stanford to talk about 2 of his labs' inventions the Foldscope and the Paperfuge. Combined these cost only 68 cents and they can be used to diagnose Malaria. Both of these are examples not only of simple, brilliant design, but of how engineering is used to make a positive dent in the world.

When I was a kid in the 1970's my grandma strung a large button on a string and showed me how to spin it. I grew up kind of poor and my siblings and I didn't get a lot of toys for Christmas or on our birthdays, so that button and string toy was a kind of cool toy back then. I haven seen anyone play with a button and string toy since then. Now seeing that same kind of device being converted to a centrifuge is awesome.

[@Tylerl128]

I had a toy like that when I was a kid, it had a plastic ball in the middle with a pattern instead of a button though. So someone must have had the same idea as your grandma and started selling it! this was in like 2000, you should have patented it before that toy company did, you'd be rich now lol

It wasnt invented at all in stanford, they just innovated on an ancient microscope design known as a leeuwenhoek single sphere lens microscope. There is a massive difference between inventing something and innovating upon sonething, Antonie Van Leeuwenhoek deserves all the credit for the original design as well as over 100 microscope patents that HE INVENTED from 1640 - 1723 and is recognized as the father of microscopy and microbiology.
