Designed for use on lifeboats and rescue rafts, the desalinating water bottle will make seawater safe to drink. The bottle will be about the same size as a standard water bottle and will work through reverse osmosis. Once the first chamber is filled with the salty water, the user will operate the built-in hand pump to create enough pressure to draw the salt out of the water as it will move through a membrane into a second chamber. The salt-free water of the second chamber will be...

The heating knee pad will store the energy generated during exercise and release it as heat to help soothe muscles once the workout is complete. Made of 'electro-thermal isolation yarn', the concept device will absorb the heat generated by the body during exercise. A coil and magnet electricity generator will store the heat, and then release it into the pad after the workout-creating a soothing warmth. The knee pad's energy storing feature can be switched off or on, and the...

The idea is to create a sensor which will be permanently placed in an individual's eye to help monitor and manage glaucoma. People at risk of developing glaucoma are often required to have their eye pressure checked many times throughout the year. However, eye pressure can vary throughout the day, and even checks throughout the year may not indicate the disease when it is in its early stages. To help make monitoring eye pressure easier, and more constant, a low-power sensor...

The polycarbonate lenses of the glasses will feature an optical coating that will remove the wavelengths of light between the colors red, green and blue. This will eliminate the overlap between the red and green cone cells and allow the colors that do get through to be amplified, reducing the effects of red/green color blindness. The sturdy polycarbonate lenses will also make the glasses safe for wearing during sports or other athletic activities.
