Like magnetic poles repel each other, right?. What if we were to have pavements or "magnetic ways" that were the same magnetic pole as a magnetic skateboard. People will be able to hover and move by leaning forward and stop by leaning backwards. No fuel or energy is consumed either. Surely we could use this concept for motor vehicles on highways?

I want to have an eco-friendly hybrid bicycle that can be converted into a scooter, thanks to its built-in electric motor and on-board lithium-ion battery. When pedaling such a bike, users will charge the battery. The bike will have a semi-automatic 8-speed transmission, which should help when trying to ride up steep slopes. Maybe all bicycles in the future will be hybrid vehicles like this.

My idea is to have bikes with built in solar powered LED lights. Besides using solar, the lights of the bike could also be charged through a cell phone's micro USB. The bike's frame will be made of super light rust free aluminum, and will include an ABUS X-plus cylinder chain lock integrated into the frame, deterring envious thieves.

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...

A new robotic wheelchair will go where no wheelchair has gone before--climbing over curbs and tackling stairs. The wheelchair will feature four independently powered wheels mounted on five axes. Sensors next to the wheels will scan obstacles to determine if they can be rolled over, signaling the wheels to change to legs if necessary. An on-board computer will help keep the chair steady and the legs properly aligned, allowing the legs to step on or over the obstacle. The legs will...

A system that allows you to "switch" your vehicle to a "teenager mode". This would consist of a speed limiter for the engine so you can control vehicle speed, sensors on the seats to see if there are more passengers than allowed, and a GPS system that you can pre-program to set off an alarm (in the car and at home) if the vehicle enters and restricted area (ie. certain parts of town etc.) With teenage driving deaths at an alltime high, I feel this would be embraced by the insurance...

I would love to see a crew cab truck that has seats that are designed to fold out into a bed. I sometimes have to sleep in my truck and if there was a work truck designed so I could stretch my legs while sleeping inside it would make my neck much happier.

I had this idea one day when I was riding home with my boyfriend. When I get sick and drive or ride on the way home I always need a heating pad to make me feel better. So this idea just popped in my head. It's a heating pad the plugs into your cigarette lighter or AV adapter in your vehicle. This would be a good idea for long road trips or just on the way home trips to at least relief the pain of your aches until you get home. I also thought about adding a massaging option with it for...

The engine could gain horse power by taking away the valve springs. In place the cam would be over the valves, the valve stem would hook to the cam lobe on the sides, contact on the face would be a roller. The engine could be reved very high and not float a valve.

The "NO-SPEEDY CD" device replaces your regular in-car CD player. But the "NO-SPEEDY CD" player is driven by a series of belts, chains and sprockets from the front wheels of your vehicle. Now go and buy your favourite CDs in various speed formats, and pop in the appropriate format dependant on the speed restrictions youre driving within. Hey presto, youre in a built up area and you've got your 30mph version of Steps playing. If you start to go too fast, they sound dreadful and you...
