A sleek new hybrid lighting design will use both natural light and solar powered LED's to light interior spaces. The light will be created to take advantage of natural sunlight and the potentials of fiber optic cables. The light will consist of a parabolic collector lens installed on the roof, which will focus the light through UV and infrared filters and on through a fiber optic cable to the hemispherical bottom lens. LED lights under the shade will provide light after the sun...

Each of us once in life wanted to leave the stuffy apartment and to go somewhere outside the city, away from the smog and the exhaust to breath with pure sea or mountain air. Even in perfectly clean apartment with a daily wet cleaning and airing we still suffocate and feel that we do not have that pure air. Why is this happening? There are particles in the air which are called air ions, positively and negatively charged. They are ranked as light, medium, and heavy. The...

I'd like to have a wrist watch that could be set to alarm every 30 minutes, or every 2 hours, or whatever intervals were needed. It should vibrate but not sound in order not to disturb anybody and keep the reason of alarm private. The watch could be used as a reminder to take a medicine or do some exercises.

The idea is to create a blue-tooth enabled speaker which will be water-resistant enough to use in the shower, and will stream from an Apple or Android device up to 200 feet away. The device will stream for up to 15 hours off three AA batteries and will include a 3-watt speaker. The detachable mount will be installed without tools, and will hold the speaker about half an inch off the wall to allow the sound to reverberate off the tile. Freestanding and hanging mounts will be...

I wish I had some device which would clean my pool without any assistance. Ideally, this device would float in the pool and filter the water collecting leaves, seeds and other garbage in itself. It would have photo cells to work from the sun energy; the energy would be also accumulated so as the cleaner could be used in the rain or at night. All I'd need to do would be to clean the devise of the collected garbage.

Why not create an air purifier that will use the natural air cleaning abilities of a plant and magnify them by over 1000 times. The natural filtration of the plant will be improved through a fan that will move the air past the leaves, through the soil and roots, and into a water tray that will trap the toxins.

My idea can be interesting for those who fail in household plants cultivation as they are constantly forgetting to water the plants, do not provide them with enough sun, etc. I suggest creating flowerpots which will warn the owners about such troubles. The pot will have light sensor from the outside and temperature and humidity sensors inside. If the amount of received light, water or temperature are beyond the limits the pot will start blinking red light warning the owner in such...

The solar heated clothes dryer will use solar heated water to heat and dry the clothes. To create the heat, roof top solar-thermal collectors will gather the solar energy and transfer the heat to water in a stratified storage tank. Four pipes will lead from the tank to the dryer, which will move the hot water to a tumbler, which will heat it, and move the cooled water back out. A cold internal surface will cause condensation and extract the moisture from the clothes.

Why not create an electronic lamp which dynamically matches the color of whatever it stands on? It would be some kind of chameleon lamp :). The lamp would light the surface underneath it with two hidden white LEDs and then use an optical sensor to determine the correct color. It would match this color by adjusting the shade of numerous multi-color LEDs imbedded in its frame.

The idea is to create a 'magic mirror' that will allow users to scan the internet through their bathroom mirror. The mirror will be able to read the signals of the person in front of it through its Kinect motion sensor. There will be two versions of the mirror- one that will give fashion information based on the outfit the user is wearing, and another one that will provide prescription information when the RFID tag on the medication bottle is scanned. The mirrors will also...
