Paul Lazarus is an award-winning director, producer and writer of film, theater and television with more than 30 years of experience. He recently completed a feature documentary called "SlingShot" about Segway inventor Dean Kamen and his work to solve the world's safe water crisis. Below he writes about how he got involved with the project. Above you can watch an exclusive clip from the documentary. In 2006, Dean Kamen told me he was working on a device that could take any form of contaminated water and turn it into safe, potable water. It was in his words: a "point-of-use," "bottom-up," "21st century solution to the 21st century problem" of access to clean water all over the planet. He called it SlingShot, which is reference to the biblical story of David and Goliath. At the time I knew very little about the world's water challenges. Fortunately, I had made over a dozen short...

“A really big person is somebody that doesn’t mind helping everyone else around them be big. A really big person helps everyone else be big and doesn’t use their bigness to help everyone around them be small.” -Dean Kamen- Inventor of the two wheeled standup electric scooter, the Segway
Dean is still alive and inventing products that will help better society despite the rumors that he drove his creation, the Segway, off of a cliff, and died.
The documentary “SlingShot” by Paul Lazarus opens with a stream flowing while a narrator explains that we can empty many of the world’s hospital beds by just providing people access to clean drinking water and distilled water for home dialysis. Fifty percent of all human illnesses are the result of water borne pathogens. The “SlingShot,” which Dean and his team invented, is able to take any type of water, whether it be ground water with metals in it, salty ocean water, bioburdened water, or urine, and make it suitable for drinking.
Learn what Dean Kamen was like as a child, the learning disabilities he’s had to accept, getting back on his bicycle after being bullied, his parental upbringing, his father’s philosophy on life, his own home which is complete with a helicopter garage, steam engines, secret passageways, and a wall of portraits of famous scientists, engineers, and inventors, including, Galileo Galilei, done by his father. Despite being a people person, Dean discusses his own beliefs of whether or not to start his own family, his inventions, his dreams of a time travel machine, his Ted Talks, and the initial stages and larger plans for his innovative “SlingShot,” water purification system, and how it got it’s name.
Will he collaborate with a well known soft drink company which already has it’s product all over the world with the hopes that they will assist the “SlingShot” to also be shipped to other countries all over the world?
An overnight success takes 20 years in the making.
Opens July 10th, 2015 @ Cinema Village in New York City, NY.
Opens July 17th @ Laemmle Theaters in Santa Monica and Pasadena, CA.
Opens July 26th @ PhilaMOCA in Philadelphia, Pa.
Opens in August @ the Center for Contemporary Arts (Cca) in Santa Fe, Nm.

This probably wasn't what Dean Kamen had in mind when he invented the Segway. A photo of a man about to take his personal transportation device on Lake Shore Drive in Chicago taken last year surfaced recently on Reddit. Tim Rodriguez, of Streeterville, Ill., was on the way back from South By Southwest last year when his girlfriend Brie Black snapped this pic of a man casually driving his Segway on to Chicago's Lake Shore while also taking a call on his phone. An unverified comment on Reddit mentioned that the man owns a Segway tour company that operates out of Chicago's Navy Pier,...

With the popularity of programmes such as Dragon’s Den, enough of us have sat goggling in wonderment at the TV screen to know that there is a very fine line between genuine innovation and sheer foolishness when it comes to the world of technology. The world is filled with inventions that make you sit and think either, “How the Hell did they come up with that?” or “Why the Hell did they come up with that?”.
With this conundrum in mind, here are ten inventions that, after researching them to death, I can confirm are 100% genuine and a good 50-50 split of genius and madness. They have been pitched, developed and sold throughout the last century or so, and in some cases are still readily available over the Internet-which is handy if you’re struggling for a last minute gift for aunty Gertrude…

A young hacker has built a mini Arduino-controlled self-balancing robot that looks for all the world like a mini Segway. It's remote-controlled by a WiiMote, it's cheap, and the chap in question is just 17 years old. That all-robotic future gets nearer every day.
Before Dean Kamen revealed the Segway "personal transporter" 10 years ago in 2001, the mysterious device received much hype due to rumors it could change the world. The electric two-wheeled self-balancing device was revolutionary (although it actually incorporated a lot of technology from an earlier smart balancing wheelchair Kamen designed) but it has so far failed to transform the world. Partly this is due to its multi-thousand-dollar price ticket, which has seen Segways mainly finding use in industries like law enforcement and mail delivery. But it's been 10 years, and technology has moved on--even smartphones like the iPhone incorporate more sensitive accelerometers and gyroscopes than Segways did. And now a...

An emerging theme of the Ted conference, which started today in Long Beach, CA, is the value of the tactile & embodied. Virtual reality has become a commodity; real reality is at a premium.
"People will always need to touch, feel, & experience," says Michael Ventura, the CEO of Sub Rosa, the interactive agency creating the mega-versions of trade show booths by the likes of Pepsi, Gucci, and Ge. "Images on a screen can only take you so far."
The point is brought home not only by the hundreds of A-list flesh-and-blood attendees (I've spotted Bill Gates, Dean Kamen, Caterina Fake & Stephen Wolfram so far) who are still, by and large, exchanging paper business cards; but by displays like Ge's new Lunar InBody physical scanner, taking the weight and body composition of Ted attendees (currently averaging a svelte 23.6 Bmi, several points below the Us average); a 3-D printer made by an Israeli...

Robot appendages are increasingly hot-topic research as our androids and prosthetic limbs get better. Now roboticists from Harvard and Yale have invented a better robot finger based on one heck of an unusual source: cockroach legs.
The traditional route to giving a robot a dextrous human-like grip is to replicate a human hand with a slew of complex joints, finger parts, sensors, and motors--or to forgo any kind of human-like shape and go with some form of pincer. The former solution requires a lot of engineering to make and computer power to run, which befits the real human appendage that requires a disproportionately enormous share of your brain's processing power to manage (check out the famous homunculus images to understand this better).
Robert Howe and Aaron Dollar took a totally different approach to the problem: They looked at how cockroaches use their legs to move in complex and speedy ways,...

It's eccentric. It's unprofessional. And it makes money. How four people who do exactly what they want run one of the most popular blogs on the planet.
Back in 1999, Mark Frauenfelder wrote an article about new web tools that made it easier to do something called "blogging." His editors at the technology magazine The Industry Standard declined to publish it, concluding that blogging didn't really seem like a very big deal. Turns out it was.
It's certainly been a very good thing for Frauenfelder, who deployed the tools he learned about for his ill-fated article to start posting interesting links and offbeat observations on boingboing.net. In time, three friends who shared a similar appetite for curious information filtered through a nonmainstream worldview -- Cory Doctorow,...

Tune in alert for this Friday, the season premiere of Planet Green's new original series, Dean Of Invention (Friday, October 22, at 10Pm Et). This new series features visionary inventor Dean Kamen -- inventor of the Segway and insulin pump, as he travels the globe with correspondent, Joanne Colan, to uncover the cutting-edge technologies that are changing life as we know it. "For me, invention -- making a gizmo -- it's always [about] the fun and the challenge and the pure creativity," Kamen tells Disovery. The entrepreneurial engineer might be best known for inventing the Segway, but his resume also includes a portable medical infusion device, a prosthetic arm, a vascular stent, and a motorized climbing wheelchair called...

James Heselden, the owner of the Segway company, died in an apparent accident involving the upright two-wheeled vehicle on Sunday. The 62-year-old businessman was pulled from the River Wharfe, in Yorkshire, England, according to police reports, and a Segway-like vehicle was also recovered at the scene. According to a report in British newspaper the Telegraph, Heselden, who was known as Jimi, was discovered by a passerby after apparently falling from a cliff above the river. Police do not believe the death to be suspicious. Heselden was worth about £166 million. He was a former miner who made his fortune from his company,...

Neatly balancing entertainment with information and a celebration of very unique brand of social outcast with a serious treatment of the issues that have driven them to the fringes - to say nothing of the further issues arising once they've arrived there - Jody Shapiro's How To Start You Own Country proves to be far less concerned with how to actually start a country of your own than it is with the people who have already done so.
Though the definition is somewhat hazy, the phenomenon that Shapiro explores here is the micro-nation, tiny countries seldom recognized on any map. They come in a surprising variety of shapes and sizes, from the very old and very serious - the Principality of Seborga was founded in 820 Ad and has been struggling to gain widespread recognition ever since - to seemingly frivolous art-punk stunts such as Gregory Green's New Free State Of Caroline,...

A very serious question for How To Start Your Own Country director Jody Shapiro: Have you received a phone call from BBC copyright lawyers yet? Because if you haven't, there's a fighting chance you will. Why? Because they already made this, with the exact same concept and the exact same title as a six part mini-series in 2005 with Danny Wallace. Someone, somewhere, at some point, probably should have run your title through Google.
Here's the official Tiff write up for Shapiro's movie:
Jody Shapiro's ultra-sharp documentary How to Start Your Own Country examines micro-nations - tiny states seldom recognized by better-known, more conventionally established countries. Traversing the globe, Shapiro introduces us to several states you've almost certainly never heard of.
Somewhere in Nevada is the Republic of Molossia. Its land mass is 1.3 acres, it's population six (basically the president and his pets). There's also the Principality of Seborga,...

For the one in every eight souls around the world lacking access to pure drinking water, how about this: A solar-powered water purification system that spits out pure water, hydrogen and, just for kicks, electricity too. Could it get any better than that?
The device is called Hydra, and like its many-headed mythological namesake it truly serves a multitude of purposes: As its press release notes, "imagine a single trailer-mounted device that turns scum into over 20,000 gallons of pure water a day, stores electricity better than a battery, makes medical-grade oxygen, and runs on the sun." That's quite enough benefits from one device, thankyouverymuch.

It works on a very simple, long-understood principle: electrolysis. This is a chemical process by which water molecules are split or decomposed into their component parts, which is two atoms of hydrogen and one of oxygen for each molecule--the magic happens when you apply high voltages to electrodes suspended in water,...

Meet Festo, a prototype robotic arm that takes its design inspiration from the way an elephant's trunk moves every which way thanks to its series of highly flexible muscle segments. Clever? Yes. On the way to real robots? Probably. Scary?...
Festo's design is actually a clever halfway house between a fully-articulated robot arm that mimics the musculo-skeletal structure of, say, a human arm (like Dean Kamen's Luke arm,) and a basic rotating-joint robot arm such as you might find currently in action welding car parts together on a production line. It's intended to perform manipulator tasks--like gripping objects off a production line and popping them into boxes, and it looks to be designed to be more dextrous than a simple jointed arm, while also being more delicate and clever about gripping the objects it finds. That would seem to make it ideal for manufacturing tasks that current robots might not be so suitable for,...

Baseball season has started again, which means I will try fruitlessly to watch baseball on television again at some point this summer, remember that I've only ever liked baseball when I've been at a live game and give up. Whereas football only becomes more confusing when you go to an actual game (ball is harder to see, everything looks smaller and faster, etc.) baseball actually gets more interesting live because more things seem to be happening as opposed to a bunch of guys hanging out in a field waiting for something to happen. And before you start lecturing me on the history of the sport and how I was obviously raised by French wolves who never instilled in me the proper appreciation for this American pastime and do I also hate apple pie?

The technology world's eyes were focused on Apple's Steve Jobs today as he unveiled the forward-thinking computer company's latest indispensable gadget. They call it the iPad, and it splits the difference between the iPhone (portability and efficiency) and the MacBook laptop series (power and versatility). It's cheaper than anticipated (it starts at $499), but will people embrace a piece of technology they didn't think they needed yesterday?
The discussion in the MTV Newsroom today was split between people who immediately wanted one and those who think that it seems like an inessential collection of microchips. But Apple has a way of maintaining resilience, which is more that can be said for some of these personal technological boondoggles.

Remember all the ballyhoo surrounding the Segway? We had to sit through months of buzz while inventor Dean Kamen touted "It," the technological marvel that was going to change the way we lived our lives.

What if you could wire up your nervous system to a robotic hand so well that it actually felt like your own? Would you be a real-life cyborg or Six Million Dollar Man? Yup. It's not only the future of prosthetic limbs. It's the present. It was done last year.
Doctors in Rome's Campus Bio-Medico university hospital did the experiment in 2008 with a post-accident amputee called Pierpaolo Petruzziello but didn't reveal the amazing results until Wednesday. The experiment lasted a month, and during the tests Pierpaolo wasn't actually wearing the robot hand--it remained desk-bound, but was connected to his body by electrodes implanted in his arm.
The team is calling it the first time a patient has been able to make genuinely complex movements with a robotic limb using just mind control via direct nervous-system links. It's distinguished from other efforts in this direction--like Dean Kamen's astonishing Luke Arm...

Imagine for a moment that a business needs a radically innovative approach to a vexing problem. Designers and managers start with an intense focus on the human aspect--the real problems their customers face in daily life. Somebody gives the obligatory talk about out-of-the-box thinking. Then they step back--way back--and let creativity, not the cold exigencies of logic, reframe the problem. When it works, this process can lead to startling new solutions. In the parlance of the moment, this is called "design thinking."
