The Seatower turbine platform could help encourage offshore wind farming by providing a cheaper and easier to install alternative. While offshore wind farms have many benefits, their platforms are expensive to install and require huge, specialized equipment for set-up. The Seatower foundations, in contrast, can be mass-produced on land and easily transported. They are hollow, and so will float easily--allowing them to be towed to their installation site with a reasonably small...

The world's smallest 3D printing pen will let users draw complex designs in mid-air. Designed to be comfortable to hold and easy to use, the pen will be powered by a USB port and take only a moment to heat up. The plastic filament used to create the 3D object will be inserted into the pen's upper end, where it will move through a special mechanism to reach the hot-end nozzle. The nozzle will both melt the filament and cool it down, allowing the user to draw complicated, 3D...

Travelling with a wheelchair can be difficult. The idea is to develop a foldable wheelchair wheel. Folding the wheel will reduce the amount of storage space required from 0.7 cubic feet to 0.4 cubic feet, allowing the wheels to be stored in overhead bins, car trunks and under airplane seats. The wheel will fit any standard wheelchair and will support up to 300 pounds, and the fail-safe mechanism will prevent the wheels from folding accidentally.

New sunglasses could add some color to the world of the color blind. Most people who are color blind do see some color but are unable to differentiate between red and green, which is the most common form of color blindness. New sunglasses feature a proprietary coating that compensates for red-green CVD by reducing the transmission of certain wavelengths of light, which allows the red and green wavelengths to stand out. The sunglasses will not work for people who can see no...

The fish finder sonar orb will pair with a smart phone to scan beneath the water, letting you know the best place to sink a hook. The fish finder will be able to withstand depths up to 120 feet and have a Bluetooth range of 150 feet. Once tied to a line and submerged, the waterproof orb will use sonar waves to gather information about temperature, depth, and the locations of the fish. The information will then be sent to the phone in the form of a depth chart image, with...

Why not throw out your wires and charging mats and charge your phone wirelessly, just by setting it near the laptop? The laptop will charge the user's mobile device through a pair of transmitters, one each built into the laptop and phone. Placing the phone next to the laptop will trigger the charging function, with an audible "ping" and on-screen notification when charging begins.

Why not develop the idea of bouncing information off the ceilings in data centers to increase transmission speed by up to 30 percent. The method will allow the wireless beams to have direct communication between antennas while reducing the chances of interference. The process will involve attaching flat metal plates to the ceiling to reflect the data, while an absorber material on the rack will prevent the signal from bouncing back up.

Why not create a rifle that can be converted to a fishing rod, providing a lightweight and compact option for backpacking hunters? Rifle that transforms to fishing rod The rifle will weigh under 15.5 oz, and will be quickly broken down into two pieces, which will make it easier to pack. The rifle itself will be a single shot, .22 caliber made of aluminum and carbon fiber. It will convert to a fishing rod by extending the butt stock tube and attaching a reel to the handle.

Why not develop a robotic golf caddy that will happily carry the user's clubs and never expect a tip? The robot will be programmed to follow an individual, moving at walking speed and automatically stopping when the user stops, or it will be driven by remote control. Lightweight and foldable, it will be able to travel inclines as much as 30 degrees and carry up to 45 pounds.
