4. VACCINES IN PLANTS
In 2004 at st.George's hospital scientists grow
vaccines in plants
St. George’s Hospital Medical School, London, is
working with a pan-European consortium to grow
vaccines against rabies and Aids in genetically
modified plants.
Many vaccines have had remarkable success in
fighting disease, but they are expensive to
manufacture – often prohibitively expensive. It is
hoped that the new technology will drastically
reduce the costs.
5. Self-heating baby bottle
Jim Shaikh wasn’t hit on the head with an idea of
a self- heating baby bottle. Jim came up with the
identified need, while going through a mundane
daily experience himself – feeding his premature
baby at night. He kept getting the temperature of
the bottle wrong – heating, cooling and re-
heating.
It took Jim four prototypes to finally get the
product right and the rest as they say is awesome
British inventions history.

7. Portable water filtration jug
Michael Pritchard came up with a literally life-saving
product while watching images of the Tsunami
devastation on television. The thought of people dying
because they lack clean drinking water agitated him.
LifeSaver, his product, is described as the world’s first
portable nano-filtration technology. It is simply a water
jug with a built-in filtration device designed to help
people during calamities. Currently, LifeSaver, like
other British inventions, is also used in the military and
for leisure activities – like traveling and camping trips.

They are very interesting, but mostly we
CAN imagine our life without them.
It means that we have already have all
the necessary things.
