The idea is to create a lighting system able to alter its lighting automatically based on the emotional flavor of the room. The lighting system will consist of some the world's most efficient and compact lights. The lights will be equipped with sensors to alter the lighting based on the number of people in the room. The sensors will also be able to read the emotional environment of the room, and adjust the lights to suit the mood.

The idea is to create a light which is able to gather enough light from ambient sources to power itself for up to eight hours. The light will use photoluminescent pigments to trap and harness the waste energy from the light sources around it, including CFL and LED bulbs. The lamp will have no cords or batteries, and will be 100% powered by leftover light energy. It will be able to harness enough light from an LED bulb in 30 minutes to glow softly for eight hours. The lamp's...

I've just came across the idea of creating a laptop computer that can be rolled into a cylindrical shape The concept consists of a flat panel display wrapped around a central cylindrical column. A power plug detaches from the top of the column, the power cord also acts as the carry strap, and the speakers and USB ports are stored inside the column. Once rolled out flat, the device can be used as a 17 inch tablet computer or can be tilted into a notebook shape, with the lower half...

The idea is to create a device to purify water with sun. The device will be able to purify three quarts of water per day when placed in direct sunlight. As the water evaporates, the contaminants separate from the water, resulting clean condensation that is stored for drinking.

I want to have a battery charger to recharge standard alkaline batteries. This will keep them from the landfill for a little while longer. The charger will use a microprocessor to control the trickle charge and prevent overheating and will be able to charge both AA and AAA batteries. The charging cycle will take about 4 hours depending upon the quality of the battery and amount of charge left in it. The device will also recharge Ni-CD, Ni-MH, and RAM batteries by automatically...

A new catalyst able to extract hydrogen from urine was discovered. I suppose it could have applications as fuel and as a way to clean municipal waters. An inexpensive form of electrolysis is to be used to break down urea, which contains four hydrogen atoms per molecule. A nickel based electrode will oxidize the urea, and then a voltage applied across the cell will break down the molecule. Since the hydrogen bonds in urine are weaker than those of water, urine is a less...

My idea is to create an application for smartphones which will use phone's GPS and accelerometers to sense and pinpoint the location of potholes. The great challenge there will be how to teach the phone to tell the difference between a pothole and a speed bump or sewer grate.

Why not create multi-account credit cards? This will eliminate the need to carry a separate card for each account. Such a card will allow a user to select the account to draw from (an active account will be indicated with a small blinking light on the credit card); it will be possible to swipe it just like a regular credit card. The card will also have the built-in battery which is good for 4 years of normal use.

I have the idea which could return a great interest for pet shop keepers. Why not make tattoos on fishes? There could be any kind of tattoo... either a text (like "I love you", "Merry Christmas" or whatever) or a small picture. A customer would have an option.

My idea is to create stations for loading media files to different devices such as mobile phones, MP3/MP4 players, flash drives, etc. A song, video, audio-book, ringtone, whatever can be easily copied to any digital media equipped with USB-port, infrared port or Bluetooth. Such stations are supposed to be found in crowded places like airports, railway stations, shopping centers, movie theatres and other.
