My idea is to create a sleeping mask which not only blocks out the light but also wakes the wearer with a programmable sunrise. Sounds really cool :) An LED substrate sewn into the inside of the mask will make the magic happen. It will begin its glow about a half hour before the user chosen waking time.

The idea is to develop a non-invasive device able to monitor brain temperature. This will lead to better treatment and diagnosis of brain injuries. The device will be able to measure brain temperature by sitting on top of the patient's head. The small, poker sized chip will detect the microwaves produced by the brain that pass through the skull, delivering readings quickly and easily.

The idea is to create a biodegradable carpet, which can be shredded and turned into organic fertilizer rather than incinerated. The carpets will be made of organic wool held together by a biodegradable paste rather than the conventional latex backing. The new paste will also use 50 percent less energy in its application, requiring lower temperatures for less time than conventional methods.

The idea is to create a brew unit that will dispense three different liquids at one time, serving up a cup of coffee within 45 seconds of activation. The brewer tap will rise from the top of the aluminum brew unit, which will be enclosed within the brewer cabinet. The brew unit will be easily removed for cleaning, and will include dual grinders for fresh ground coffee. It will also be able to steam milk directly from the tap, automatically adding the milk when needed. The...

Why not develop parking meters able automatically call the police when you have overstayed your parking limit? The new meters will have sensors in the ground under each parking space, which will keep track as cars move in and out of the space. The sensors will notify the nearest parking inspector when a car has gone 5 minutes past it's paid for parking time.

This fertility monitoring system is such a great invention. It gives couples an easy way to know when peak fertility occurs, making it easier to plan for pregnancy. A sensor in the woman's arm monitors body temperature to within a thousandth of a degree, and gives a 99 percent ovulation time accuracy; this data is transmitted to a digital reader. Just imagine, with such a system it is possible to plan a romantic evening up to six days in advance.

Why not invent a "smart" Christmas tree - one capable of retaining its needles for twice the normal length of time?

The idea with that artificial rainbow is fantastic. A rainbow machine has been already created. It uses reclaimed rainwater and sunlight to create rainbow effect. The machine applies jet pumps and custom fountain nozzles to spray water in the air, and then the sunlight shines through to create the rainbow effect.

I wish we had a single web site with primary goal to help homeless people. The site would contain the full list of organizations helping such people, products and other stuff required to be donated. They could even have volunteers to come to your house and take things you wanted to donate. This would definitely make it easier for other people to contribute to charity as the majority simply didn't know where to go / what to donate / who to contact and so on.

Why not combine jug and scales two in one so as measure both volume and weight? Liquid volume will be measured just like a regular measuring cup, with markings on the clear sides. Solid weights will be measured by the built-in scale, and an LCD screen on the handle will display the weigh amounts.
