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.

The new light alarm clock will make getting out of bed just a little bit easier, gently increasing the light for a more natural alarm. The light is meant to simulate the natural sunrise, slowly increasing its glow over a period of 30 minutes, and can be programmed to include chirping birds or music. It will also dim slowly, easing the user into natural sleep.

The idea is to create a blue-tooth enabled speaker which will be water-resistant enough to use in the shower, and will stream from an Apple or Android device up to 200 feet away. The device will stream for up to 15 hours off three AA batteries and will include a 3-watt speaker. The detachable mount will be installed without tools, and will hold the speaker about half an inch off the wall to allow the sound to reverberate off the tile. Freestanding and hanging mounts will be...

The idea is to create a brew unit that will dispense three different liquids at one time, serving up a cup of coffee within 45 seconds of activation. The brewer tap will rise from the top of the aluminum brew unit, which will be enclosed within the brewer cabinet. The brew unit will be easily removed for cleaning, and will include dual grinders for fresh ground coffee. It will also be able to steam milk directly from the tap, automatically adding the milk when needed. The...

A sleek new hybrid lighting design will use both natural light and solar powered LED's to light interior spaces. The light will be created to take advantage of natural sunlight and the potentials of fiber optic cables. The light will consist of a parabolic collector lens installed on the roof, which will focus the light through UV and infrared filters and on through a fiber optic cable to the hemispherical bottom lens. LED lights under the shade will provide light after the sun...

The idea is to create solar window shade that will harvest the sun during the day and use it to power its OLEDs at night. The shades will be made of a semi-translucent, flexible fabric that will allow the sunlight to gently seep in. The integrated solar cells will block the sun while harnessing its energy, which will power the leaf-shaped OLED's. A central cord will control the blind, allowing it to be opened, and the whole shade can be easily rolled up for storage.

The paper thin, mercury free OLED lights will be the most energy efficient kitchen lights. It is difficult to perfect white lights that are powerful enough to be suitable for kitchen use, but the OLED lights are supposed to be as bright as the typical compact fluorescent. They will also be incredibly thin and have a life span of more than 12,000 hours. The system efficiency of 71 lumens per watt will be greater than the standard requirement for undercabinet lighting, and the lights...

The idea is to create a 'magic mirror' that will allow users to scan the internet through their bathroom mirror. The mirror will be able to read the signals of the person in front of it through its Kinect motion sensor. There will be two versions of the mirror- one that will give fashion information based on the outfit the user is wearing, and another one that will provide prescription information when the RFID tag on the medication bottle is scanned. The mirrors will also...

The solar heated clothes dryer will use solar heated water to heat and dry the clothes. To create the heat, roof top solar-thermal collectors will gather the solar energy and transfer the heat to water in a stratified storage tank. Four pipes will lead from the tank to the dryer, which will move the hot water to a tumbler, which will heat it, and move the cooled water back out. A cold internal surface will cause condensation and extract the moisture from the clothes.

Why not create an air purifier that will use the natural air cleaning abilities of a plant and magnify them by over 1000 times. The natural filtration of the plant will be improved through a fan that will move the air past the leaves, through the soil and roots, and into a water tray that will trap the toxins.
