I suggest creating the first ever wireless bike. The eBike will have only a tiny bit of wiring in the front hub. The bike will also have a USB port, charging port, LED batter power display, regenerative brakes and a wheel that will double as a generator. All of the bike's circuitry will be in-frame, including the electric motor, battery, throttle and peddle-assist functions. Motor range will be 12-15 miles. Battery will take 4-5 hours to recharge.

The new earphones will allow users to enjoy their music without blocking out the surrounding sounds. They will include two very small speakers held in place in the ear canal by a retention device. Because the speakers will only fill part of the ear canal, environmental noises will still be able to be heard. And since the device will not seal the ear, gradual hearing loss can be prevented.

A very interesting shop ONE NOFFS was opened in Sydney. It creates designer works from the old stuff. The idea belongs to Rupert Noffs who is the grandson of Ted Noffs (the founder of The Ted Noffs Foundation, a charitable organization that helps the drug addicts and alcoholics). He developed the concept of "second hand" store turning an ordinary shop of old stuff into the platform for creative and talented young designers work, who can also make money on this. ONE NOFFS shop...

Why not provide an automatic transmission system for traditional wheelchairs? The wheels can be attached to conventional wheelchairs. They will able to recognize the movements of the user. The wheels can then choose the correct gear for moving up or down hills and across rough terrains by monitoring the user's speed and how hard they are pushing. Because the wheels are automated, the user won't need to expend any extra time or effort in changing gears.

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...

The implant will transmit neural signals from the brain to a computer, that may then be able to relay the signals and allow control of a paralyzed limb. The implant will be about the width of dime and will have a film of microcircuits on its bottom, which will sit in contact with the brain. The microcircuits will detect the patterns of firing neurons and then send the signals to an external computer, using the conductive quality of the skin as a way to use little power for the...

The Sunflower is the first heliostat created for residential use, designed to allow homeowners to focus the sun into a gloomy room on onto a solar panel. The Sunflower uses a solar powered microprocessor, motion servos and sun sensors to track the sun and reflect its light to a location selected by the user. It can redirect up to 50,000 lumens of sunlight and can be installed on an existing post or optional PVC stand. Beyond feeding solar panels and dark rooms, other...

Police may soon be able to use a new automated graffiti identification software to help them keep tabs on gang territory and drug deals. The system will be able to compare photos of graffiti to identify which gang, and sometimes even which individual, created it. Identification will be based up on constant key points in the design and will use crowdsourcing to help decipher unintelligible text. An accuracy rate is supposed to be about 65 percent and higher.

Ocean floating solar/wave domes connected by a web-like array could be used to harness both sun and wave power. The concept involves connecting dome shaped solar cells in an orderly network. The photovoltaic covered domes would harness solar power while they also capture wave energy as they bob on the water. Solar energy reflected back to the photovoltaics from the water would increase the solar capture by as much as 20 percent.

My idea is to create a small multifunctional monitoring device. The battery operated and reconfigurable device will have four slots for biosensors such as a pulse oximeter or an electrocardiograph. The device will also incorporate a camera and a microphone, and will be able to transmit data wirelessly over the internet. Since it will be self contained, all the data and signal processing will be done on the device itself, rather than conventional wireless medical devices that only...
