Its A Miracle, No Stains!

Wow, No Stains!

            Have you ever been scolded by your mom for spilling milk or juice on your t-shirt?  Those long, repetitive lectures about spilling liquids on your clothes? But no more! Thanks to this fantastic invention by a San Francisco student, you clothes will never get stained! Aamir, a university student majoring in entrepreneurship  began developing the fabric about  year and a half ago. Aamir's first prototype was made by coating the t-shirt with hydrophobic  spray. This, however, did not work well because the protective layer would wash of in one wash.Then the inventor got the idea of incorporating tiny particles of silica, the same material that is used in umbrella's, into the fabric itself. Because this mineral is bonded at a microscopic level, it helps create a layer of air between any liquid dripping down and the t-shirt. This product was called Silica This in turn causes the offending stainer to magically roll off (like rain does of an umbrella) , instead of seeping through. Finally, the victim of the stain wins over the stainer! The best part of this material does not irritate the skin,and according to the inventor(Aamir), is completely safe to wear all day!



Inventors Change the World

     Everyday inventions amaze us.  The Silica t-shirt is one of many inventions us humans have  invented. These inventions help us every day.  For example, if Thomas Edison hadn't invented the  light bulb, we would still be using lamps and fire as a light source. If  Henry ford hadn't invented the car, a big part of today's world, we wouldn't be traveling to places as fast as nowadays. We wouldn't Mercedes, Ferrari, Bugatti, Lamborghini, etc. The inventions  we use and are invented everyday make our lives easier. These inventions are ingrained in our everyday life, helping us along the way.


         This video is the kick-start video for the product, Silic. This video explains the project better, and in more detail.
