These miniatures of real objects are fully functional and have contributed to many fields of activity. MIcroscopic cameras and screens have made doctors' work easier and have brought a revolution in science and technology. Here are some of the most amazing miniatures which are not only functional, but also very useful.
Artificial heart
Dr. Robert Jarvik created the smallest artificial heart in the world which was first applied in an emergency situation to a 16-month-old baby who was waiting for a transplant. Lacking any alternative, the doctor decided to implant this small device which remained in place for 13 days.
Drone

Mini car
This microcar was first built in 1962 and it was sold in Great Britain for about £200. It has one seat, one door, one windshield wiper and one headlight. This is a highly energy efficient car which delivers better than 241 kilometres to the gallon of gas.
Model train set
This is the tiniest model train ever built and it is part of a larger post-modern project. It is powered by a 5 centimeter motor carved out of plastic.
Gun
This Swiss MiniGun is a double action revolver and has the same features as a real gun. Even though it looks exactly as a key chain, this miniature is nevertheless a gun- the smallest in the world.
Ocean-faring vessel
This Swedish man created the smallest ocean-faring boat ever built and intends to sail around the world in it. The boat can harness wind and solar energy and collect and purify rainwater.
