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."

Sorority

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.

Tiana would no doubt be disappointed in the food our cafeteria has to offer.

And hopefully she would cook for everyone in her dorm.

She definitley would not take any 8:00 am classes because she would be up late baking and cleaning up the communal kitchen that are available in every dorm.
