Y don't they make a solarpanel outbord boat engine make it run 50% on gas and 50% on battery

WAZZUB is in pre-launch until April 9, 2012. The more users that join our network through your personal link the more your $FACTOR will grow. Each new member 5 generations deep let your $FACTOR grow by 1. After launch we will pay 50% of WAZZUB's profits to our pre-launch members every month. We simply divide the earnings through the total amount of $FACTORs of all members. Let us say for June the rate per $FACTOR is US$1.00 and your personal $FACTOR is 3905. That means we will pay you...

A simulated sky scene ceiling, complete with passing clouds and varying luminescence could help to create a more comfortable office environment. The dynamic ceiling will consist of an array of tiles, each with 288 LEDs. The system of tiles will be covered with a diffuser which will blur the individual lights, and a combination of LEDs in blue, green and white will ensure the full light spectrum is produced. The virtual sky LEDs will be carefully configured to create a...

A new system that can recognize ripe strawberries in the field could the next step in replacing human farm workers with machines. The system will use four different parts of the magnetic spectrum, including microwaves and far-infrared light to peek beneath the surface of the strawberries and check for ripeness. The new technology could reduce waste by cutting down on the number of unripe strawberries that are picked and could improve efficiency. The similar technology could...

Car accidents are stressful enough, but a special application can help take some of the burden off by providing the information drivers need to document an accident. The app will come with a checklist and on-the-scene accident tools, guiding the user through each step that will need to occur in the moments after an accident. It will provide easy access to emergency numbers, a GPS to help record the accident's location, a flashlight, and a voice recorder. It also will also...

The idea is to introduce new polymer-based currency which is supposed to foil counterfeiters. The new bills will make it easier to recognize fakes, and they will last 2.5 times longer. They will feature a metallic portrait, transparent text, raised ink, a frosted maple leaf window, and hidden numbers. It will be possible to check the hidden numbers by holding the note up to a light, with no need for UV lighting.

I think we should make a touch screencomputer. It would be thin, a different style, with a touch screen mouse and keyboard. The keyboard will still have the letters on the keys. All you would have to do is touch it. Also the screen would also be touch screen.

We've got smart phones, but what about smart credit cards that, like wallet-sized Lilliputians, tie you down when you're about to spend too much? If in your travels, you find yourself overspending on certain things - in my case, Starbucks iced coffee - this new money management tool could be useful. Through a service called inControl, you can tell your bank to decline your credit card at restaurants after, say, $300 in lunches in a month. Ron Lieber of the New York Times reports that...

My idea is to capture the wind a train generates as it speeds down the track, using that untapped force to create electricity. Several devices would be placed between the rails of either railway or subway lines. Each device would contain a turbine to gather the otherwise wasted wind energy and harnesses it to produce electricity. The cylindrical devices would be installed on the tracks below ground level on busy rail lines, where they should be able to gather enough wind to...

Why not use magma as a potential source of geothermal energy? It is actually able to power up to 30,000 homes. FYI, magma can produce dry steam at 750 degrees Fahrenheit, which can generate up to 25 megawatts of electricity. The usual geothermal well can produce 5 to 8 megawatts of electricity.
