Antonio Ibáñez Alba‘s inventions seem to be straight out of a science fiction film: fire extinguishing trees, floating water that prevents drowning, artificial palm trees that prevent climate change… This Spanish engineer 🇪🇸 has more than 300 patents registered, and they continue to grow. Definitely, his geniuses have revolutionized and continue to revolutionize the whole world.
Antonio Ibáñez is a prolific Spanish inventor and researcher who sees the world differently. Where others may look at a street, a highway, a beach or a landscape in the countryside, he detects the problems and begins his search to develop the best technical, economical and sustainable solution. His tireless mind always finds a way to use science as a powerful tool to do as much good as possible for humanity.
- Salt-free water where no one sinks. This is one of the most life-saving projects. If a child or adult falls into the pool, he floats back up immediately. If they fall face down, their body will turn face up, due to the pressure of the rib cage. What’s in this water? Ibañez has developed a product with the best properties of the Dead Sea, which is poured into the pool water, wait 24 hours and that’s it! The water becomes a safe zone, keeping the same density and appearance.
- Artificial palm trees capable of generating microclimates. 50,000 of these plastic trees were planted in the desert of Fezzan, Libya. This created artificial forests that lowered the temperature in the area and increased humidity. In less than a year, the climate was suitable for planting fruit trees. Ibanez literally gave life to the desert.
There is more: fire trees that act as eternal watchmen of the forests, high-tech transparent tunnels for trains to cross deserts, power plants that generate energy through explosives, an absorbent block that is buried near the roots of trees to retain water in winter and serve as a supply in summer…
Antonio Ibáñez Alba was 9 years old when he surprised his family with his first invention. Today, 60 years later, he continues to surprise and improve the world with his visionary mind.
