Endoscopic capsule
  • Pillcam by Given Imaging, the first Capsule Endoscopy solution to record images of the digestive tract.[14][15] The capsule is the size and shape of a pill and contains a tiny camera.[16] Created by Israeli engineer Gavriel Iddan[17] who sold the company to Irish medical device maker Covidien for $860 million.[18][19][20] Iddan has expressed regret for the sale due to the companies fulfillment of an ancient Jewish prophecy “The Pillcam was based on military technology... It was a good example of how we shall beat our swords into plowshares", as the Hebrew prophets predicted.[21] Covidien was acquired by Medtronic in 2016, and is now the provider of Pillcam.[22]

Defense, Aviation and Military

edit
  • Iron Dome – a mobile air defense system in development by Rafael Advanced Defense Systems and Israel Aircraft Industries designed to intercept short-range rockets and artillery shells. On April 7, 2011, the system successfully intercepted a Grad rocket launched from Gaza, marking the first time in history a short-range rocket was ever intercepted.[93] The Iron Dome was later utilized more fully in the Israeli-Gaza conflict of 2012, where it displayed a very high rate of efficiency (95%–99%) in intercepting enemy projectiles. The United States has been an essential partner in developing the Iron Dome by providing billions towards its development.[94]

Agriculture and breeding

edit

Energy

edit
  • Super iron battery – A new class of a rechargeable electric battery based on a special kind of iron. More environment friendly because the super-iron eventually rusts, it was developed by Stuart Licht.[97] of the University of Massachusetts.[98]

Consumer goods and appliances

edit
 
Epilator
  • Wonder Pot – a pot developed for baking on the stovetop rather than in an oven.[99]
