In Africa there is a man names Phillip Isohe who enjoys making model airplanes and buses. These buses and airplanes are very detailed and they work. They are homemade made from scratch and were displayed at an “ArtBots” show last year. Phillip says he feels good when he makes these things. A video of Phillip’s planes can be seen here: http://www.zoopy.com/video/detail/id/12667?t=afrigadget

Elephant pumps are pumps that were introduced in rural areas of Africa such as places in Zimbabwe and Malawi. The are called “elephant pumps” because they are so large. These pumps are used to get clean water and give it to the people. They are made locally and are maintained by the community. The way you operate them is by peddaling. Kind of like a bicycle. Sometimes kids who have never ridden a bicycle “play” on them and pump the water.

The ipod nano is a little device that allows you to listen to music on the go.  There is no need for cd’s or a cd player, you just go online and buy music from a legal site such as itunes. It’s small but can hold up to 4 mgb (megabytes). It also lets you upload pictures and videos. You can upload any type of music you want as long as it’s not downloaded illegally. Its for sale at the apple store in various locations such as malls, outlets, ect. There are many types of ipods that have made its creator wealthy.
