Clear turquoise waters, pristine sand and the world's largest pools: The idyllic MAN MADE beaches that rival Mother Nature

With white sandy beaches and clear blue waters - these beaches look too good to be real.

In fact, they are man made, created by a company which transforms a destination into an idyllic paradise.

With projects around the world, Crystal Lagoons says its unique concept can provide an unlimited size lagoon, surrounded by picturesque sandy white beaches, anywhere in the world.

Their first project, the San Alfonso del Mar tourist complex in Chile, obtained the Guinness World Record for the largest swimming pool in the world, at a size of eight hectares. 

Crystal Lagoons expects a second Guinness World Record with the 12.5 hectares mega lagoon of the Citystars Sharm El Sheikh tourist complex in the middle of the Egyptian desert. 

Following that should be a third Guinness Record with the Mohammed Bin Rashid City project in Dubai, expected to be completed by 2020, that includes the world's largest crystalline lagoon with 40 hectares.

Movable Moisture: Tiny Humidifier Fits on Any Water Bottle

Has dry air got you (and your skin) feeling a little parched? The Amazing Humidifier wants to make every space moister and more comfortable. It’s a tiny USB-powered humidifier that fits on top of any plastic water bottle to shoot out a steady mist of filtered water. It can even be used in the car thanks to a cigarette adapter.

Most water bottles use the same size openings, so the Amazing Humidifier will fit a wide variety of bottles. The little gadget also acts as an aroma diffuser when you add scented oils, and its soft glow makes it a calming night light as well.

We can’t say how safe it would be to run a humidifier as close to your computer as they do in the video, but the Amazing Humidifier looks intriguing. Its included filter needs to be changed approximately every three months, and the whole thing costs around $32 US. Its low price and super-compact size make it the perfect travel humidifier for that dry, dusty hotel room.

Jesus-Inspired Miracle Machine Turns Water into Wine

Up until a few days ago, Jesus was the only one who could turn water into wine. Now it seems anyone can do it. All they need is one of these $499 miracle bottles, water and some special ingredients. The aptly named Miracle Machine is pretty straightforward – water goes in, wine comes out. And there’s a sachet of flavors for various types of wines, of course, as with all instant foods. Created by the founders of a California company called Customvine, Miracle Machine is currently up on Kickstarter for much needed funding.
To use Miracle Machine, all you need to do is add the ingredients sachet to the bottle, choose the type and style of wine from a menu, add water and start the machine. Then, all you need to do is wait. Thankfully, the waiting period isn’t a pain – you don’t have to keep opening the bottle to check if the wine’s ready. Instead, you can connect the bottle to your smartphone, and an app will monitor the progress for you. It will alert you when the fermentation is complete (a process that takes about three days), and the wine is ready to consume.
Kevin Boyer, CEO of Customvine, is a sommelier who also founded the Boyanci winery in Napa Valley. Miracle Machine is his brainchild, in collaboration with Philip James, a British entrepreneur and founder of the wine site Lot18. “Just like a Bible miracle, it literally turns water into wine, with just the addition of a few ingredients in a fraction of the time and cost it would normally take,” said Boyer.

While the pair have preferred to keep the exact science behind the product ‘top secret’, they have provided a basic explanation. They said that the fermentation chamber uses electrical censors, transducers, heaters and pumps to provide a controlled environment for the primary and, as needed, secondary fermentation stages. A digital refractometer measures the sugar content of the liquid during the fermentation process, while an air-diffuser passes filtered air through a ‘micro-oxygenated’ channel. An ultrasonic transducer under the chamber can speed up the flavor and development of the wine.

Well, that’s a whole lot of technical mumbo-jumbo to me; I’m still stoked that this thing can produce wine in three days. And not just one kind of wine – you can choose between six styles including Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay from Napa, Pinot Noir from Oregon, Sauvignon Blanc from Sonoma, a Tuscan blend from Italy and a red and white from Burgundy. Five to ten more styles will be added in the next three months. So far only a prototype has been made, but if the product can get enough funding, it is expected to go on sale later this year. The packaging will contain the Miracle Machine, grape concentrate, yeast and other sachets of ingredients.

Once you get the basic price of the unit out of the way, you’re basically going to be spending $2 on a bottle of wine with the Miracle Machine. It won’t last long though – only two weeks – because this wine is produced and bottled under air and not an inert gas. But hey, at $2 a bottle, who’s complaining?

This Portable Blowtorch Uses Only Water As Fuel

UK-based researchers say their new system is safer and cooler than other gas-fueled metal-melters.  

Researchers from ITM Power, a UK-based clean energy company, say their new blowtorch prototype produces fire using only water as fuel. The electrolyser system turns hydrogen and oxygen gases from water into fuel for the torch using electricity.
SafeFlame is designed for use in brazing, a process similar to welding that joins two metal pieces together by melting another metal joint between them, usually from a metal with a lower melting point like copper. Current brazing systems mostly use flammable gasses like acetylene or propane as fuel for portable torches, which pose a fire and explosion risk in highly pressurized containers. This system stores its fuel in water form, eliminating the explosion risk from pressurized gas. 
This water-fueled torch doesn't burn as hot as other gas torches, so can be used with metals that are more sensitive to heat, and the flame doesn't heat up the body of the torch, according to ITM Power. Plus, it only produces water when it burns. The prototype is being tested by some UK welders now. Euronews reports that it will be available to the public "in the near future."

Mars Rover Curiosity Found Water On Mars

In a groundbreaking discovery, the Mars Rover Curiosity has confirmed the presence of water on Mars. How much? About two percent of the soil, or two pints per cubic foot. Unfortunately, the water molecules are "bound to other minerals in the soil,". 

The discovery is important for a number of reasons, but especially exciting because of what this means for future missions to Mars.

Is this the world's coolest water slide? 35mph chute lets swimmers whizz down a Mayan Temple into shark infested waters

Welcome to a real-life Temple of Doom where you can re-enact Indiana Jones' wildest adventures by sliding down a Mayan temple into shark infested waters.
The water slide styled as a Mayan temple sends thrillseekers hurtling up to 35-miles-per-hour down a 60-foot-long chute.
The ride finishes underwater by going through a tunnel surrounded by 14-foot-long nurse sharks and Caribbean Reef sharks.

The Mayan Temple water slide in the Bahamas, a detailed replica of the Temple of Doom, is the ultimate ride for Indiana Jones-style thrillseekers

Thanks to an ingenious underwater passage, intrepid visitors can zoom through shark-infested waters

The terrifying ride takes visitors down a steep chute before hurtling them through a tube surrounded by 14-foot-long nurse sharks and Caribbean Reef sharks

Aptly called The Leap of Faith, the terrifying ride is part of the Aquaventure, Paradise Island resort of the Bahamas.
Vice President of Marine Operations, Mark Gsellman explained why the slide is so popular with the visitors to his resort.
'The Leap of Faith was built to provide guests with the ultimate experience.
'No other slide compares to the exhilarating sensation and rush of adrenaline you're left with after going down the Leap of Faith. 

Shooting through the air, the ride can send visitors plummeting at 35 mph

As tourists reach the bottom of the slide, they enter a misty tunnel before going underwater, hence the name Leap of Faith

Tourists get a rare view up through the water from the imitation sea bed

'The feeling of being dropped at a near perpendicular angle and flying past sharks is something you can't find anywhere else.
'The slide is called the Leap of Faith because the bottom of the slide is covered with a mist and cannot be seen, hence to drop down, it requires a true leap of faith.'
Aquaventure is a vast 141-acre water park containing 7 million gallons of water, a mile-long river ride, and a choice of 12 pools.
Alongside the life-size replica of a Mayan Temple, there is a 131-foot tall Power Tower, a 7-acre snorkeling lagoon, miles of white sand beaches and more.

The Mayan Temple replica is full-size, so that it dominates the skyline on Paradise Island

The seaside paradise Aquaventure, which is one of the largest water parks in the world, also has a 131-foot tall Power Tower and a 7-acre snorkeling lagoon

'People love the Leap of Faith and certainly go through a range of emotions,' said Mark.
'Guests are first and foremost very excited, but typically grow anxious as they wait for their turn.
'Nerves tend to kick in once guests realize they are up next, and after a few minutes of fear and giddy nervousness.
'Then they finally launch themselves down the slide and experience some of the most fun you can imagine.
'It's truly an exhilarating experience.'
