The Rain house will be made of a special bio-concrete that will allow it to filter rain water. The concrete will be both PH neutral and bio-compatible with water, which will enable it produce sun-distilled water naturally. Rain water is believed to be the purest source of freshwater, and bio-concrete technology could democratize fresh water supplies by providing access to affordable clean water for small and big scale users, from families to big companies, leaving the...

The idea is to develop drones able to fly into tornadoes to gather. These drones will be created to replace storm chasers. Each one will meet certain standards, including the ability to take off from a typical road, to land and fly in gusts up to 28 mph and to be transported in a standard flat-bed trailer. The drones must also be able to carry at least one dropsonde into the storm, which is a cylinder containing sensors that can be released to quickly gather storm data.

The Cloud Machine is a personal weather modification device, able to create small clouds on demand. Designed to create clouds to reflect solar radiation, the cloud machine could help pave the way to new ideas of combating global warming. The device consists of a weather balloon that is launched into the air carrying the cloud-making tools. Once the machine reaches the desired altitude, it releases cloud condensation nuclei, heat and water vapor, causing the moisture in the air to...

In an effort to re-use the million of tons of building rubble produced each year, a way to recycle concrete with lightning was found. The lightning bolts of a short duration are more likely to pass through a solid. The idea is to produce lightning bolts and direct them to the concrete. As the lightning follows the path of least resistance, it separates the material into its fundamental components. A concrete recycling plant using the lightning method could be a reality in as...

A new line of avalanche airbag integrated clothing will make protection as easy as putting on a vest. The vest will use a nitrogen based airbag system that will be deployed by the wearer to release a pair of brightly colored bags. The bags will increase the wearer's surface area to help reduce sinking as well as will act a visual signs for rescuers. The vest will also include an array of pockets able to secure other gear, allowing the vest to replace a full backpack.

In an effort to slow coastal erosion, why not develop concrete cylinders that can cancel out up to 90% of a wave's intensity? The cylinders will be hollow with narrow slits in the sides and will cancel out the wave's energy. The cylinders should even be able to handle tsunami waves, and it will be possible that current wave power generation systems could be adapted to the coastal protector technology.

The idea with that artificial rainbow is fantastic. A rainbow machine has been already created. It uses reclaimed rainwater and sunlight to create rainbow effect. The machine applies jet pumps and custom fountain nozzles to spray water in the air, and then the sunlight shines through to create the rainbow effect.

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.

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.
