I do like the idea of Tunnel Taxi and really want to share with you. Tunnel Taxi is designed for solving problems with traffic. It's a split bus style taxi with a pair of seats on each side that exit into a central tunnel. That central tunnel is there to allow people that ride bikes around the city to pass in the middle of the taxi without having to change lanes.

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...

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.

Don't you hate how the time that a yellow light at an intersection veries from light to light intersection to intersection. You think you have enough time to go through the intersection on a yellow light but you end up entering on a red light because the light changed quicker than you thought... Here is the sullution... when approaching an intersection that has stoplights there should be a yellow line painted on the road that would act as a guide line. If the speed limit in that area is lets...

It is known that a basking shark feeds by swimming with its mouth open. The shape of the shark's body plays an important role in its efficiency as a feeder. A pressure differential is created as the shark swims, resulting in lower pressure along the shark's top and helping to draw water out of the shark's gills in a way that allows it to rely on the passive flow of water to feed. Why not design a turbine with the shark's design in mind? Water enters through the first turbine while...

For decades, rag-pickers have been marching up and down the city's railway tracks gathering empty plastic bottles, wrappers and other garbage discarded by commuters. The solution for this has already been found in India. Central Railway engineers there modified an old engine into a massive trash can able to pull in all the garbage as it chugs along the tracks.

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.

Why not create a driving monitor which will provide new teen drivers with verbal comments to help bring attention to driving errors? The monitor is to be wired to the car's onboard computer and equipped with an accelerometer and a GPS. It will alert the driver to aggressive driving, such as sudden turning or braking, and significant speeding. It will also disable mobile phones while the car is in motion. It could be also possible for parents to be notified of their teen's...

My idea is to provide fire trucks with a system which is a combination of a conveyor belt and a ladder. It could help firemen move people more quickly from burning buildings. The system will contain rungs on rollers that will slide on tracks. Such a ladder will be able to lower four people to the ground in 4 minutes while the standard time for rescue, using traditional methods, is about 15 minutes.
