Have you ever dreamed of a car that can be controlled by mind power? I guess it is possible to realize the idea using some kind of a brain-machine gaming interface. The 'driver' will be required to wear a neuroheadset with EEG sensors that will send bioelectric signals to the system. On the road, the system will link the patterns with commands such as steering and acceleration, which will be sent to the car's drive-by-wire system.

Why not create a new mini rearview camera and monitor system that will allow riders to have a 360 degree view of their surroundings. Riders will be able to monitor their rear view through the 3.5 inch monitor attached to the handlebars. A cord will connect the monitor to a CMOS video camera on the rear seatpost, and a lithium battery will power the device for up to 5 hours. For added protection at night, a ring of 10 LED lights will surround the camera, and will begin flashing when...

The car interior preheater will help take the chill out of winter driving, allowing drivers to warm up their car's interior without needing to start the engine. The heater will be designed to sit on the dashboard of the car, where its two heat vents will be tilted to blow hot air into the car or onto the windshield. Powered by rechargeable batteries, it will be set to come on at a specific time or can be activated by a remote control. The heater can be easily removed from...

My idea is to capture the wind a train generates as it speeds down the track, using that untapped force to create electricity. Several devices would be placed between the rails of either railway or subway lines. Each device would contain a turbine to gather the otherwise wasted wind energy and harnesses it to produce electricity. The cylindrical devices would be installed on the tracks below ground level on busy rail lines, where they should be able to gather enough wind to...

The idea is to create a device to project a laser image onto the road in order to make drivers more aware of bicyclists. The device is meant to be mounted on the handlebars of a bike, where it will project a bright green bicycle symbol on the road in front of the cyclist. The symbol will be visible by day or night, and will shine steadily as well as flashing off and on.

Why not create an electric drive that can be attached to any manual wheelchair, creating a long distance alternative for wheelchair users. The drive will resemble a pair of headphones, with two circular hubs connected by a curved section. Each hub will contain a 24-volt motor powered by a lithium-ion battery with a range of almost 20 miles. When attached to the center of the wheelchair's wheels, the device will be able to propel the wheelchair at speeds up to 12 mph. Steering...

The idea is to equip cars with the airbag system for pedestrians to reduce the force of an impact on people outside the car. The airbag will be contained beneath the hood just next to the windshield, and will automatically deploy if the sensors in the front bumper detect contact between the car and a person. The system will work in conjunction with the Pedestrian Detection technology, which will detect if a person walks in front of the car and will automatically activate the brakes...

Why not develop parking meters able automatically call the police when you have overstayed your parking limit? The new meters will have sensors in the ground under each parking space, which will keep track as cars move in and out of the space. The sensors will notify the nearest parking inspector when a car has gone 5 minutes past it's paid for parking time.

The first front center airbag will be designed to protect front occupants in the event of a side impact crash. The airbag will deploy form the right side of the driver's seat, absorbing the impact energy between the driver and the passenger in the front. The airbag will also function as a restraint if the driver is the only person in the front of the vehicle. The front center airbag will be designed to work with other airbags to form a more complete vehicle occupant restraint...
