Plans have been drawn for several types of nurseries, such as the Mouse House made of cheese, which will be able to host 225 children in Novoaltaysk.Īnd while it may sound crazy, it even has the backing of health experts. That’s the hope for a new children’s day care centre being planned in the Altai region.įor designers at Barnaulgrazhdan proekt have come up with a scheme to decorate the outside of kindergartens with local food brands, and cheese in particular. Scientists in Tomsk have created quite a stir with their plans for special diapers using materials straight out of Siberian swamps. Pictures: ĭelicious, and educational. It took three years for scientists to create a prototype, and now they are working on improving the absorbing capacity of the moss. So what better way to use it than for babies, especially since it works out as a cheaper alternative to the absorbent material currently used for nappies? Yakov Chirikov, who is in charge of the Innovata research and development company, noted that moss had particularly good qualities for healing wounds and was a great absorber. How about some baby nappies made of moss? Scientists in Tomsk have created quite a stir with their plans for special diapers using materials straight out of Siberian swamps. Some dubbed it Siberia's 'Back to the Future' car because it bears a crude resemblance to the time-travelling vehicle powered by recycled garbage materials in the Hollywood movie. Inspired by car owners in the Second World War – who used such means to power their trucks – they fixed a special generator to the back of an old Moskvich to turn solid and liquid fuel materials into gas for running the engine.Įnterprising Siberians Kirill Busenius and Dmitry Vlasov have adapted a car to run on logs, cones, animal waste and even old socks instead of petrol. Pictures: Ivan Reizvich/NGS.ruĪnd driving at a maximum speed of 90km per hour, a 15kg bag of logs is enough to go for about 120km making it more efficient than normal petrol. The living area is suspended from the roofing, allowing it to levitate above the lawn.Įnterprising Siberians Kirill Busenius and Dmitry Vlasov have adapted a car to run on logs, cones, animal waste and even old socks instead of petrol. The brainchild of Yakov Migas, a student at the Siberian Federal University, its basement flooring is made of larch logs while the roof is made completely of grass. Resembling the home of the children's television characters, the Teletubbies, one Siberian student has designed a house covered in grass.Ĭombining two traditional Siberian buildings – a log house and a dug out – it sits above the ground and comes in an easy-to-fit kit that can be put up anywhere. Here, the Siberian Times looks at some of the inventions developed across the region recently that could soon be heading our way. From the helicopter to the radio, and from yoghurt to the solar panel, our people have contributed greatly to the development of global science.Ĭreating new ideas, and experimenting with clever designs, is something entrained deep in our psyche and amateur engineers in Siberia continue to come up with new ideas today. ![]() When it comes to innovation, Russia has a long and proud history at developing some of the most important inventions in history. ![]() Yakov Migas, a student at the Siberian Federal University has designed a house covered in grass.
