The new cycling system will let you use both your legs and your arms while riding. The bicycle will feature a separate drive train that will be powered by the arms and will work with the pedal system. This will allow the rider to also use their arm, shoulder, and chest muscles to create forward momentum and encourages a better, full body workout. The adjustable system can be set for different arm lengths and the tilting action of the hand crank steers the front wheel.

The app will use both auditory and visual cues to help the blind, deaf, or average tourist navigate their way by bus. To use the app, the traveler will first choose their preferred route. The app will then guide the user to the closest bus stop and let them know how long until the bus arrives. Once the user has boarded the bus, the app will keep them informed as to how many stops remain and send an alert when it's time to ring the bell. Once the user has left the bus, the system...

The bicycle GPS tracker will sound an alert if the bike is stolen, and then help you track it down and recover it. The bike GPS will mount inconspicuously inside the headset of the bike and will be secured by a special wrench. When the bike is parked, the user will active the GPS unit with an electronic key, which will turn on the vibration sensor. If the unit senses vibrations when it has not been turned off, such as in the case of being stolen, it will sent an alert through SMS...

The magnetic bike light will detach quickly and turn on automatically when attached to the frame. Designed to help prevent theft, the lights will be easily removable and pocket-sized, allowing them to be quickly detached and taken along when the bike is left unattended. They will fit an array of tube diameters, remaining securely in place and emitting a bright LED light from the sides as well as directly ahead. The lights can be placed anywhere on the frame, automatically...

A new bike will be designed to help toddlers develop motor skills by providing a more stable ride. The bike will be propelled through the motion of two large spheres supported by stabilizing balls, which will allow the bike to move in any direction without falling over. The spheres can also be removed and replaced with more traditional wheels to challenge developing skills.

The idea is to design designed cargo ships with retractable sails, which could eventually help to cut fuel use by up to 30 percent. The tall, narrow sails, measuring 64 feet wide by 164 feet tall, would be constructed from tubes of strong, lightweight aluminum and a fiber-reinforced plastic. Reacting independently and automatically, they would be able to harness the winds along the optimum route, even taking advantage of difficult crosswinds. Taking the load off the ship's...

A new bicycle made out of folded sheet metal will be stronger, lighter, and cheaper to produce than the conventional bike frame, and it will be folded by hand. The bicycle frame will be based on a patented system, which will include a method of cutting perforations into pieces of sheet metal and will allow the metal to be folded by hand. The folded sheets will then be riveted or glued together to from the desired object.

The idea is to make headlamps for the bicycle of LED light stylishly integrated into the handlebars. The headlamps can be made by cutting strips from the handlebars and supporting them with transparent plastic tubing. The LED bulbs will be installed inside the plastic tubes and will be powered by a watch battery.

A new haptic steering wheel will give GPS based directions silently, by vibrating to signal where to turn. The prototype will include 20 actuators able to buzz in many different patterns, such as clockwise to turn right or counterclockwise to turn left. The wheel could also be programmed to warn the driver of other diving conditions, such as objects in the blind spot. The haptic steering wheel is supposed to allow drivers to keep their eyes more consistently on the road and...

Augmented reality glasses designed for commercial airline pilots may help them to focus through bad weather and stay alert to their surroundings. The glasses will display a 3D overlay of the runway and airport in one lens, including updates, markers, and traffic in the area. The integrated head tracker will adjust as the pilot moves his head and changes his gaze, automatically overlaying the appropriate info. Additional voice controls and displayed aircraft info, such as altitude...
