New lamps will be powered by both solar and wind power, providing up to 12 hours of light when fully charged. The lamps will feature recyclable polypropylene shades that will catch the wind, rotating to create interesting lighting effects. The lamps will be available as either pendants or stakes, and can recharge in 9-12 hours on a sunny day or 24 hours in a 4 m/s wind. They will be both approved for use as outdoor lighting.

Do you like your ordinary suitcase? Don't you want to make it unusual? I can suggest you funny suitcase stickers as a solution. There are nine humorous pictures, which can allow tourists to stand out from gray and dismal crowds at the airports or train stations, as well as to cope better with any troubles of travelling such as delays or a long customs examination. For example, there are stickers with the image of money, drugs, tied woman, sex toys in the Suitcase Stickers...

My idea is to provide fire trucks with a system which is a combination of a conveyor belt and a ladder. It could help firemen move people more quickly from burning buildings. The system will contain rungs on rollers that will slide on tracks. Such a ladder will be able to lower four people to the ground in 4 minutes while the standard time for rescue, using traditional methods, is about 15 minutes.

The idea is to create a portable ultrasonic detector that will use non-invasive technology to check gold bars for flaws or signs of counterfeiting. The device will use computer controlled phased array probe to produce easy to read images that even untrained personnel can interpret.

The new wave power system concept is inspired by the swaying action of ocean plants. The system will consist of a central column topped with an array of blades reaching almost to the surface of the water. The action of the waves both above and below the surface will cause the column to move back and forth, pressurizing a hydraulic fluid which will spin a generator and covert the energy into electricity. The system will be easy to install and service, and, unlike conventional...

If you are tired of the same old boring wallpaper designs on your wall then you'll find my idea interesting. I suggest creating digital wallpaper. There would be digital paper or some kind of very thin screen on your wall. A small computer box would also be on the wall. You would be able to download any image you wanted to see on your walls. In such a way you could change wallpaper every day.

I'll be the first one to buy a bike with a frame looking like my name handwritten. This idea is really cool. With such a bike I'll definitely stand out from the crowd. By the way, the risk of bike being stolen will be eliminated.

A newly developed technology allows users to charge their cell phones by yelling at them! The technology works by transforming sound waves into power in a similar way that speakers transform electric signals into sound. Currently, the device consists of a sound absorbing pad that creates vibrations when hit by sound waves. The pad is connected to zinc oxide wires that compress and release, which creates a current and generates the battery.

The idea is to create a USB charging device that will flip open to draw power from electrical outlets already fully occupied. The device will open to extend a flat conductive "power tab", which will work via its two holes. The prongs of one of the plugs that will be occupying the outlet will be run through the holes and then plugged back into the outlet. The power tab will draw enough energy to charge a mobile device, sending 1 amp through the USB cable. A flat "power tab"...

The handheld printer will use a combination of inkjets, optics, and software to print images onto any flat surface. The printer will use laser sensors to track the device's movement, measuring its location and speed. The software will interpret the sensors' data and use algorithms to determine which spurt of ink to send next as the user waves the printer over the material. This will allow the printer to print on any size material, even material larger than the printer itself.
