A self cleaning cloth will be able to destroy bacteria and toxins when exposed to light, which could be used to make safer clothing for farmers and medical workers. The cloth could be developed by incorporating the unusual compound 2-anthraquinone carboxylic acid (2-AQC) into the fabric. The compound will bond to the cotton without changing its properties, and produce hydroxyl radicals and hydrogen peroxide when exposed to light, which instantly will kill bacteria and break down...

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.

Do you still use rake to pick up leaves in your yard? I suggest a new idea how to make your yard clean easily. What about a vacuum with a bag attached which you can place on your back? It could look like an industrial blower but it would pick the leaves up instead of blow them away. It could have either electrical or gas engine. Such a vacuum will definitely save time and make the yard work a little easier.

I want to create a device to prevent fires? It will be a small canister placed inside a wall and connected to an electrical outlet. This device will monitor the temperature of the outlet: in case it reaches 250 degrees (combustion occurs at 426 degrees), the canister will eject special foam that will cool the wires, displace oxygen and insulate the surrounding combustible materials. The foam spilt out of the outlet indicates that a fire has been prevented and that the outlet should...

I want to have a smart fence which can sense the difference between the rustling of leaves or a person skulking around the area. There will be a small low power device to be attached to a fence or other object or just be placed on the ground. It will use seismic sensors to distinguish between different types of movements. An alert will be sent wirelessly to the command center under certain conditions.

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.

Do you hate shoveling the walk-way, porch or driveway as I do? My idea is to lay small heated coils under the concrete walk way or driveway. The coils will heat the concrete or pavement above freezing temperature and will prevent snow and ice from building up. Such a solution will save your time and money as well as save you from slipping and falling.
