It would be cool to have ear plugs able to filter noise electronically. Using such ear plugs, you can easily talk to a co-worker, while filtering out background noise, by simply twisting the adjustment knob.

I suppose that microscopic worms could do a better job of detecting explosives than X-ray machines, metal detectors or bomb sniffing dogs. The tiny nematodes, known as Caenorhabditis elegans, have little scent organs on the sides of their mouths. Why not extract the receptors from the amphids and incorporate them into a device (so called bomb sniffing machine).

A website where people post their ideas to a public domain thereby taking away all future possibilities to hold a patent and more than likely make them a reality/ A website where those with resources can take great ideas from common folk and profit from them while the poor guy sulks about not seeing a dime/A website that destroys all value on intellectual property by removing all buffs.

I'm not really sure if it is possible to make my idea come true but here it is... I want to provide skiers and snowboarders with avalanche survival devices to put to their backpacks. In case of an avalanche a sensor built-in the device will trigger the system and a mask will pop out to fit a face. As soon as the avalanche hits a person, a small vacuum pump will suck snow into the canister, melt it, and split the water made from the melted snow into oxygen and hydrogen. The...

My idea is to provide cell phones with a functionality to read and record weather data such as temperature, humidity, air pressure and wind speed. This functionality will help us to gather more accurate data then any weather station could offer.

Oil lamps are still widely used in spite of the fact that they are toxic and not environmentally safe. My idea is to use solar lamps instead of oil lamps. Solar lamps work 6 hours and above; they are available for all people who don't have reliable source of electricity. Solar lamps have changeable solar batteries which are environment-friendly as they are recyclable. Lamps have brightness regulator, they are water- and heat-resistant and can even be used below -4 °F and above 131°F.

The composition consists of suspension polyvinylchloride, stabilizer and filler. The new idea is to use chemically precipitated chalk as the filler. The composition includes components in the following mass parts: 1. Suspension polyvinylchloride - 100 2. Dioctyl phthalate - 60-120 3. Epoxidized vegetable oil - 10-20 4. Chemically precipitated chalk - 100-200 5. Barium stearate - 0.25-0.5 6. Cadmium stearate - 0.25-0.5 Suggested...

I wish we had a store where it was possible to buy all the staff for the case of disaster. People would be able to find some special devices there, i.e. modified in some way so as to be the most helpful. For example, an ordinary flashlight could combine a radio and a cell phone charger as well.

We should be able to creat ultra light sound proofiing material by now, incredibly thin but able to dampen sound waves.

Tornado can often strike at night when people are asleep and not tuned into the weather channel. As a result many of them are injured or killed. My solution is to create software that the National Weather Service can use to inform people about the tornado (in a single second). It will send text messages to all cell phones/landlines to people in areas most likely to be hit. This will be definitely a great warning system for those who are not tuned into TV, but are carrying phones.
