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.

Gossip Column business. Business Overview How do you get started as a gossip columnist? Easy. Write a few sample columns and send them to every print and online newspaper and magazine you can. Chances are, if the gossip column is interesting and well-written, someone will agree to start publishing it on a regular basis.

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.

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...

Potential clients can include advertising agencies, marketing agencies, publishers,...

Weed killing will go high-tech and less toxic with smart lasers able to recognize, and destroy, unwanted weeds. The method will use cameras and a computer algorithm to distinguish the weeds from more desirable plants. Once the weeds are recognized the CO2 lasers will deliver a carefully measured beam directly to the weakest point of the weed. The energy levels of the beams will be exact, because a beam that is too weak will actually encourage the weed to grow.
