TIME magazine has made a list of best inventions that took place in the year 2014. Not only have these inventions made our us wide eyed but have made the world more fun and technologically advanced.
Here are the 10 best inventions of 2014 by TIME Magazine:-
1. Hendo Hoverboard

2. Mangalyaan (Indian Space Research Organization)
With a budget less than that of the movie Gravity; $74 million and to get it right in the first try; India surely achieved the unconquerable.
On September 24, India’s Mars mission went around the red planet in the first try; a feat even the U.S., Russia the Europeans weren’t able to do.
3. High-beta fusion reactor (Lockheed Martin)
Scientists have never been available to crack the code regarding nitrogen fusion. But, Lockheed Martin has stamped the claim changing the above statement. He’s given an estimation of a decade to make compact fusion reactors to fit together.
This might just change the way we have known energy.
4. Witricity
Witricity is thinking of taking technology to the next level for us. They’re building a plug-in coil that creates a magnetic field, which in turn powers objects as far away as 8 ft. (2.4 m). It has been tested on Toyota cars, Intel PCs and more.
