In the past, Japan shocked the world community with the findings of the Shinkansen bullet train technology. The existence of fast train is instantly shorten the travel time of commuters. Even mileage 515 kilometers can be reached within 2.5 hours.
Do not stop there. Innovation continues to grow fast train, to be able to drive up to 600 kilometers per hour. Ability was due Shinkansen uses magnetic levitation technology, which can lift the carriage body 10 centimeters off the rails. Magnetic levitation was later pushed carriages with a magnetic force electrically charged.
From one story alone was fitting that Japan is considered as the most efficient countries in developing creativity into innovation. An award given by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) in 2014.
From other Asian countries, Japan achieve superior value at 36 indicators which measures the capacity and incentives for innovation. The indicators include the number of universities which managed to get 500 of the world, the number of register patents, books, films, level of urbanization, the research budget, and also the development.
Then, how Japan innovate?
Earthquake resistant
The geographical position of Japan located between the Pacific Ocean plate causing the country vulnerable by the earthquake. This fact makes citizens do not stop looking for a solution to be able to have a place to stay that is earthquake resistant.
With that in mind, various concept of building a resilient and not easily collapsed kept popping up in Japan. Later, the concept was also adapted to the building minimarket. Interestingly, in addition to withstand earthquakes, minimarket is also designed to have the energy reserves to be able to operate despite a power cut during the earthquake.
Efficient
One of the reasons why Japan is constantly innovating in order to achieve efficiency. Typically, the findings are designed based on their needs. One time, Japanese scientists managed to find a machine that is able to recycle waste office paper into toilet paper.
The idea originally came from the buildup of waste paper in the country. With these findings, 40 sheets of scrap paper size A4 can be converted into a single roll of toilet paper within 30 minutes.
Futuristic
The combination of the need and efficiency considerations, tools made by Japan and is often associated with futuristic technology. It also later made goods from Japan often "be different" with the products of other countries-which tend to offer the same technology.
Call it as an example, a washing machine without water for household use, AQUA Racooon. AQUA output engine Japan- brand once known by the name of SANYO-utilizing ozone technology can be tailored to refresh clothes in a dry state. So clothes avoid the odor.
With the washing machine, people no longer need to spend extra dry cleaning services, a designation for the washing process without water and detergent. Quite at home, the clothes can not be washed with water and detergent can come back clean.
There is another very practical tool of the same brand, the Coton Handy Washer. Only the size of the palm of the hand, this product can clean soiled areas of clothing with subtle pulsations of 700 times per minute. Washing time can be shorter become an entity minutes. Suitable for those who travel frequently.
