The idea is to create a lighting system able to alter its lighting automatically based on the emotional flavor of the room. The lighting system will consist of some the world's most efficient and compact lights. The lights will be equipped with sensors to alter the lighting based on the number of people in the room. The sensors will also be able to read the emotional environment of the room, and adjust the lights to suit the mood.

My idea is to use piezoelectricity to generate energy. Piezoelectricity is the charge that accumulates in response to applied mechanical strain, such as the vibrations of vehicles driving on roads. The piezoelectric sensors are inexpensive and can be installed during regular repaving. When utilized on a single lane, two mile stretch of road, the sensors could produce up to 44 megawatts of electricity each year, which is enough to power 30,800 homes for a year.

It seems to be a great idea to combine furniture with exercise equipment. For getting a quick workout while you're at home such Fitness Furniture makes the most sense, allowing you to have functional home fixtures that you can also use to work up a sweat. Three items come with the Fitness Furniture set - a multi-function closet, a table that can double as equipment for dips and an attractive mat for performing floor exercises. Most notable of the objects is the storage...

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 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.

Have you heard about BerryPlus which is a plant-based detergent? It is environmentally friendly. Ingredients listed on the packaging are: * Sapindus mukorossi (Soapberry) - 95% * Vegetable glycerin - 4.5% * Olive leaf extract - 0.3% * Potassium sorbate and Sodium benzoate - 0.1% It is also convenient to use and has packaging made of recyclable plastic. However, BerryPlus is not effective in removing heavy soil or stains.

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.

UNplug the HEATER if you have one. An aquarium heater will break if not in water! This is for your tank only, am assuming you have already netted your fish/ snails/ other creatures and put them into a suitable container. I use a 5 gallon bucket, it also holds my tank cleaning supplies when I am not using them. Leave your filter dirty, but unplug it, you will need the beneficial bacteria to recycle your tank. IF you had a disease problem, then you must clean your filter and use new...

Do not over do it with the soap. 1/2 the measure is sufficient. If a stuffed animal has long or acryillic/ nylon type fur, air dry, do not put in the dryer. Do not use bleach, but you can add 1/2 up white vinegar in the wash water if they smell bad. Only use 1/2 measure of softener, or none at all. It is best to air dry most all of the toys you wash.

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...
