Special Report: Next Generation Power Generation On this "Special Report" segment, we take a look at an amazing little product that uses gas to produce electricity on a small scale but very efficiently. It's a very small gas turbine engine for robots or household generators. IHI Corporation is known for its world-class technology, which it uses to produce commercial jet engines. The company developed an ultra compact power generator unit, which uses the same gas turbine technology found in jet engines. The gas turbine unit is 8 cm in diameter, 12 cm long and weighs 1.2 kilos. It is the smallest in the world. So small in fact, that it fits in a container just a little larger than a briefcase. Despite its diminutive specs, it can output 400 watts of electricity for extended periods of time. The turbine spins at the high speed of 330 thousand rotations per minute, yet it sounds surprisingly quiet. It's still a prototype, but it might not be long until this compact generator is commercialized. On Site: Home Care & Rehabilitation Exhibition We sent Brian Hughes to have a look at the 2012 Home Care & Rehabilitation Exhibition. You'll see the best of what's available for the lives of the elderly or disabled on this "On-Site" segment. Schedule: Sep 18-20, 2012 Location: Tokyo Big Sight Japan has one of the highest life expectancies in the world but it also has a declining birthrate. That means that the percentage of the population over 65 is on the rise. In fact some projections estimate that it will pass the 25% mark within the next ten years. A number of companies gathered recently in Tokyo to display the newest technologies in the field of home care and rehabilitation. The displays featured an amazing array of care and rehabilitation products, as simple as a walking stick with an innovative and ergonomic design, to sophisticated devices including a robot that will gently lift up your body, various progressive types of wheelchairs and many other devices
