Solar Military Hospital Tested

by Noel on May 5th, 2008

I remember this friend who loves watching war movies. This friend, a girl, would not even shed a tear when watching romantic flicks but she would shed tears when watching movies about war. She said that she is moved each time she sees soldiers trying to help wounded or dying soldiers in the middle of a jungle with only canopies used as hospitals.

Now, because of some of the technological advances, wounded soldiers may just get their whole life back if the military hospitals that are solar-powered test to be successful. Right now, such a hospital is still being tested to see if there would be still more ways to improve on them. See, these solar-powered military hospitals are actually the creation of some researchers from the Florida International University. These hospitals are mobile and they can be set up anywhere in just a few hours. The canopy that covers the hospitals have solar cells so much so that if there is a need for high technology equipment to revive a patient, such can be done despite being in a war zone.
