Inventory 4 of the most promising entrepreneurial ideas on MIT Demo Day

"Editor's note" MIT is a place where there is never a lack of creativity, such as the "amazing hacker works of MIT tech Guys" We reported earlier, and this time we'll share the 4 most promising entrepreneurial ideas in Barb Darrow's inventory--mit Demo day.

The following translation

In the Saturday MIT Global founders ' Skills Accelerator Demo Day, there were a lot of great ideas, here's a brief description of the 4 most attractive to me.

Small propulsion systems for smaller satellites

Accion Bae, the idea from the 3-person team of Natalya Brikner, Louis Perna and Fernando Hicks, said the CEO and founder Natalya that the propulsion system has become the biggest factor in limiting satellites.

For small satellites, the current propulsion system is "too big, too expensive and too dangerous", which is why the size of the satellite is now so large as a bus. A new era of smaller thrusters will help drive global Internet access, crop monitoring, natural disasters, etc. Natalya said they would use Accion BAE for their first satellite launch later this year.

Temperature tuner for the body

Everyone has a different pursuit of temperature, if more than one room, how to ensure that everyone's cool or warm? MIT tech researcher quickly figured out a way to "hypnotize" your body to feel extremely warm or cool by a smart wrist strap built into a copper radiator, no need to change the ambient temperature, the so-called wristify solution.

The MIT team found that the whole body would feel cooler or warmer just by adjusting the temperature of one part of the body. For example, a 0.1-degree change per second can make the whole body feel cool or warm for several degrees, while the wristify can work at a rate of 0.4 degrees a second.

The founder Sam Shames says that even if the temperature of a building is raised by 1 degrees, it consumes about 100kWh of electricity a month, and through the "Temperature control solution" it is easy to lift or lower the individual's body temperature, saving a lot of energy.

A cheap bike power meter

Asbton Limited saw a huge business opportunity to build power meters for cyclists, who buy millions of dollars of high-performance bicycles each year, and spend more on bicycle accessories to a horror of 1 billion dollars. "The number will be doubled in Europe," said James Schulmeister, the project's founder and PhD student in engineering.

The test speed, heartbeat speed, and other parameters of the power meter let you know how much energy a process is spending. Conventional products give strain gauges, so maintaining and making them very expensive. The current model costs about 1000 to 3000 dollars per cost, and James says they can provide 499 of dollars in power testers because they don't use strain gauges.

Tailored diets, vitamins and medications

Every year, people spend billions of of dollars on over-the-counter and food supplements and health products, costing 400 billion of dollars on prescription drugs. However, do you feel that there is a lack of a more sophisticated way to measure nutrition, health care and pharmaceuticals?

Miramix has set up a device for customizing vitamins and tonic metering, which is now being tested at 25 sites. Team member Megan Cox says we want to help people customize themselves healthier.

As Miramix shows, customized supplements and medications are provided by the--sravish Sridhar,kinvey founder and CEO of a coffee machine sized device.

Megan provides some data to show the market's infinite likelihood that people spend about 35 billion dollars a year on over-the-counter supplements, although the 400 billion dollar cost of a prescription drug is negligible.
