問題詳情
Do you have bright ideas? Ideas for inventions that change society or, at least, make life easier for somebody? Perhaps we all do sometimes, but we don’t often make the idea a reality. Recently, in Britain, there was a competition called British Designers for Tomorrow. The competition encouraged young people to carry out their bright ideas. There were two groups in the contest: Group One was for schoolchildren under 16; Group Two was for schoolchildren over 16. And there were eleven prize-winners altogether.Neil Hunt, one of the prize-winners, was called “Sunshine Superman” by one newspaper writing about his design. It’s important, when people study the weather, to be able to record sunshine accurately. We need to know how many hours of sunshine we have and how strong it is. Most sunshine recorders only record direct sunlight. Neil’s is more accurate and this is very important for research into ways of using solar power. With his prize of £100, Neil plans to carry on inventing.You can do so much with animation. Look at Simon West’s idea for animated road signs. He uses pictures which appear to move as you go nearer to or farther from them. This isn’t a new idea. But it is new to use these pictures on road signs. “We found that people were more likely to see moving signs,” said Simon. So now, you can really see rocks falling, trains moving, horses galloping or a car falling over the edge of a cliff. Quite a warning!The ideas in the competition were so inventive that we are surprised that British industry doesn’t ask more schoolchildren for suggestions. Perhaps this will be the start of “pupil power”!

你有好主意?發明改變社會的想法,至少,讓生活更容易為別人?也許我們都做,有時,但我們不經常使這個想法成為現實。最近,在英國,有競爭明日英國設計師。競爭,鼓勵青少年開展他們的高見。在比賽中有兩個組:一組是16歲以下的學童;第二組為16歲以上的學童。並有共11獎的獲獎者。尼爾·亨特,獲獎者之一,被稱為“陽光超人”一個報紙寫關於他的設計。這一點很重要,當人們學習的天氣,能夠準確記錄陽光。我們需要知道多少小時的陽光,我們是多麼的強大。最陽光的錄像機只記錄陽光直射。尼爾的更準確,研究利用太陽能發電的方法,這是非常重要的。與他100英鎊的獎金,尼爾計劃進行發明。你可以做這麼多的動畫。看看西蒙西的動畫路標的想法。他使用的照片出現移動,因為你去接近或遠離他們。這不是一個新的想法。但它是新的路牌上使用這些照片。 “我們發現,人們更容易看到移動的跡象,”西蒙說。所以,現在,你真的可以看到岩石落下,火車移動,群馬奔騰或汽車在懸崖邊上下降。不少警告!在競爭的想法是如此發明,我們感到吃驚的是英業達不要求更多的建議學童。也許,這將是“學生權力”的開始!
