Noida Authority, Uttar Pradesh, India set a record for making ‘the largest spinning wheel using plastic scrap’, weighing 1650 kg. The spinning wheel, which measures 20ft × 8ft is 14ft high and is made up of 1250 kilograms of plastic waste. The initiative was taken to promote Swachh Bharat Mission, as confirmed on October 19, 2019.

Yogesh Barnela (born on November 22, 1982) of Bhiwani, Haryana, India, has made a spinning wheel measuring length 6 mm, width 7 mm, height 5.5 mm and weighs 60 milligrams, using matchstick, broomstick, steel wire, plastic wire, and thread, between March 8, 2012 and March 12, 2012. He took four days to create this spinning wheel.

Researchers from The Institute of Materials Research and Engineering (IMRE), Singapore, successfully demonstrated the worlds smallest fully controlled rotation of a molecule-sized gear. The gear, which looks like a wheel, is made out of a hexa-t-butyl-pyrimidopentaphenylbenzene (C64N2H76; HB-NBP) molecule and is connected to the ‘spokes’ of the wheel which are made up of six t-butyl outer groups that lift the central molecule core from the substrate surface. The research opens the way for the future development of molecule-sized machines that may lead to innovations like pocket-sized supercomputers, miniature energy harvesting devices and data computing on atomic scale electronic circuits.
