The idea is to create a case able to charge an iPad with its built in solar panels. The case will store solar energy in its internal battery, and one hour in the sun will generate enough power for one hour of iPad video use. The case will consist of four two watt, high efficiency solar panels that will be coated with a clear, UV and scratch resistant layer. The case will be sturdy and waterproof, manufactured from recycled PET.

Why not use vertical space in order to park more bikes, saving space in urban areas while also encouraging more biking? The vertical storage system can be attached to the unused walls of buildings, cranking the bikes up along the wall on a circular track. The concept also includes ideas for smaller, freestanding racks for tighter spaces, such outside a store or cafe.

Why not create a trash bin which will consist of several disposable and recycled paper containers nested inside one another? This will eliminate the need for plastic can liners. Such a bin would be the ideal choice for disposing of paper products, since the contents and bag could all be recycled together. It would also be suitable for dry biodegradable materials, and could be used in compost bins.

Have you ever dreamed of a car that can be controlled by mind power? I guess it is possible to realize the idea using some kind of a brain-machine gaming interface. The 'driver' will be required to wear a neuroheadset with EEG sensors that will send bioelectric signals to the system. On the road, the system will link the patterns with commands such as steering and acceleration, which will be sent to the car's drive-by-wire system.

Did you hear about that great new alternative for disaster housing? They offer a prefabricated and flat-pack shelter that can be assembled quickly with just minimal tools or skill. The design is based on identical aluminum panels that can clip together with needing any tools. The design also features a narrow room with an arched roof covered in solar panels that collects and channels rainwater to a collection tank. The unit can be placed on uneven surfaces with the use of...

I heard that it is possible to create a drug addiction vaccine to help users kick the habit. The vaccine will be a combination of cocaine like chemical and an inactive cold virus. It will bind to the cocaine in the bloodstream and prevent it from reaching the brain.

Why not create a desktop generator that uses electricity to create hydrogen from water? This generator will be used for special cartridges charging. Each cartridge is supposed to contain 12 watt-hours of stored energy, the equivalent of ten AA batteries.

Are you a kind of person who just can't stop tapping your fingers on the furniture trying to reproduce a favorite melody? This seems to be annoying... Why not create electronic gloves which will create the music while you are tapping on the dining table for example? Each finger on the glove will be mapped to a different note with different musical instrument tones for you to choose from. There could be also a couple of distinct background rhythms and pre-recorded songs.

The best defense against common communicable diseases is prevention. Door knobs and handles are covered with a huge amount of microbes so why not create self-steralizaing door handles? I suggest creating a door handle that continuously sterilizes itself with a UV light, only taking a break when you actually use it. There will be some kind of switch in the handle's frame to toggle the sanitizing illumination on and off.

I usually use a credit card while purchasing something. The main disadvantage of using credits cards is that it is difficult to monitor spent money. I want to have a wallet which will inform me about all changes with my bank account and will adjust to the sum of money available: * It will vibrate / beep each time a transaction take place; * When there isn't much money in bank account the wallet will resist its opening; * It will swell and shrink to reflect...
