Why not combine photovoltaic panels with OLED's to create panels that can be adjusted to face the sun as well as create designs or messages on the sides of buildings? The panels will be made of aluminum and stainless steel. During the day, the panels will be adjusted to maximize solar energy absorption while at night they will be flipped to allow the OLED screens to provide light for interior rooms or media playback.

My idea is to design a self-balancing walking stick. Such a stick will address a seemingly innocuous problem that plagues many seniors: having to pick up their walking sticks. The whole purpose of a walking stick is to aid in walking and balance, so if it fails down picking it up can be equivalent to a dance with death. The stick will be designed to always stay upright.

Torque vectoring gears for wind turbines eliminate the need for the twofold conversion process required before the current is fed into the grid. The process of converting the current produced by the turbines into an alternating current of the right frequency results in a loss of almost five percent. To prevent this loss, I suggest developing an active torque-vectoring gear that can operate at exactly 1500 revolutions per minute regardless of the rotational speed of the motor. This...

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 have on more idea which could help to combat obesity. Why not create a system to send electrical impulses to the stomach, causing the patient to feel satisfied faster. The system will consist of an electrical stimulator and a sensor that can detect food in the stomach. The advantages of such a treatment: * It is completely reversible and has less side effects; * The system will be able to record the patient's eating and exercise habits.

It would be cool to have ear plugs able to filter noise electronically. Using such ear plugs, you can easily talk to a co-worker, while filtering out background noise, by simply twisting the adjustment knob.

I travel a lot on business and for pleasure. One of the most popular items I bring home from a vacation is a bottle of alcohol. Unfortunately, getting the bottles home without damage can be very tricky, especially when others are handling your luggage along the way. The protective case for alcohol is a real rescue. It is made of padded, leak-proof nylon to help shield the bottle from the abuse that the bags will take along your voyage. It also has a see-through window on the front...

My problem is that I'm too lazy to cook for myself... eating in restaurants is expensive and fast food is not tasty and good for health. If you have similar problem then you'll like my idea. I suggest creating a web site where amateur cooks will sell dishes of their preparation. There will be an opportunity to find diet food, different national dishes, etc. The prices will be specified by sellers but they will always be able to feed other people even for free. Buyers will use...

It would be cool to change bar codes on the goods with RFID signs. This will eliminate the necessity to take out all your staff from a shopping basket so as a shop girl can calculate the total price. With such a change a cash terminal detector will send electromagnetic waves to exchange data with each product in your basket (and not only in the basket!!!) and provide the total sum value to be paid.

I want to have some device which can automatically test the pool for its chemicals and then fix them accordingly. It could be placed near the filter in my pool and should have a timer.
