The Foldscope, Paperfuge, and Octopi are inexpensive diagnostic tools that Manu Prakash and his team have invented to improve the lives of people around the world.
Inventor Manu Prakash turns everyday materials into powerful scientific devices, from paper microscopes to a clever new mosquito tracker. From the TED Fellows stage, he demos Paperfuge, a hand-powered centrifuge inspired by a spinning toy that costs 20 cents to make and can do the work of a $1,000 machine, no electricity required.

O inventor Manu Prakash transforma materiais de uso diário em poderosos aparelhos científicos, desde microscópios de papel a um rastreador inteligente de mosquitos. No palco do TED Bolsistas, ele demonstra o Paperfuge, uma centrífuga manual inspirada em um brinquedo giratório que custa US$ 0,20 e pode fazer o trabalho de um aparelho de US$ 1 mil, sem necessitar de eletricidade.
L’inventeur Manu Prakash utilise des matériaux usuels pour fabriquer des équipements scientifiques performants : que ce soit des microscopes en papier ou des détecteurs de moustiques. Sur la scène de TED Fellows, Il nous fait une démonstration de « Paperfuge », une centrifugeuse manuelle inspirée par une toupie et qui coute 20 cents pour réaliser le travail d’une machine d’une valeur de 1 000 dollars, et ce, sans d'électricité.
