Why not create a simple one minute test to determine quickly whether or not an athlete has suffered a concussion? The test will evaluate the athlete's ability to read numbers which are displayed on a series of flashcards. The time it will take for the athlete to respond will be compared to a baseline test. Any coach or doctor will be able to diagnose a concussion confidently if the athlete's response is more than 5 seconds slower. The test will also check for eye movement,...

I would like to have a new bike lock system which will be strong, sleek, and long enough to pass through both wheels and secure the bike to a stationary object. The system will consist of a steel, pick resistant lock and a flexible titanium bow that will be able withstand a saw and a 48-inch bolt cutter. The largest size will weigh less than 5oz, which will be one third the weight of a conventional U-lock. The flexible bow will be large enough to wrap around objects as large as 5.5...

Why not create a rifle that can be converted to a fishing rod, providing a lightweight and compact option for backpacking hunters? Rifle that transforms to fishing rod The rifle will weigh under 15.5 oz, and will be quickly broken down into two pieces, which will make it easier to pack. The rifle itself will be a single shot, .22 caliber made of aluminum and carbon fiber. It will convert to a fishing rod by extending the butt stock tube and attaching a reel to the handle.

Why not take advantage of the natural sweetener xylitol to create a shoe that will convert sweat to cool air. The cycling shoe will include an insole, which will help to keep heat from building up within the shoe. The insole will be infused with xylitol, an alcohol based sugar. The fibers in the insole will be able to moderate both moisture and temperature, absorbing body heat and converting it to a 'refrigerant'.

Why not provide football helmets with impact sensing accelerometers? This will help to analyze how blows to the head relate to brain injuries. Three types of accelerometers will be placed in the mouthpieces, earpieces, and helmets to see if real time neuroanalysis can occur during the games, allowing for the isolation and diagnosis of the concussions within minutes. By the way, long-term data could provide information on how players become injured and help engineers design a...

Skiing and snowboarding are sports that I am fond of. Why not have googles that give you all kinds of statistics while you slide down the mountain? They will come with GPS and have a screen in the glasses. The display will tell you things like your contact information, external conditions, speed, altitude, distance, temperature and number of runs. You can even use them as a stopwatch and a clock to keep your progress.

A new solar powered communications module lets snow sports enthusiasts power their gadgets with the sun and control them with a Bluetooth enabled glove. The module includes speakers integrated into the helmet, a microphone in the chin strap, and a Bluetooth unit for sending and receiving data. To create the built in, curved solar panel solar cells are divided into small chips, allowing the cells to be spread over the arching surface and reducing chances of damage from stress. ...

Let me offer you the original idea to promote Adidas sports brand, which has opened an unusual shop in Tokyo.

The shop is located near the Imperial Palace and surrounded by the big park that is a favorite place for joggers from all over Tokyo. There are 16 showers, 248 cloakrooms for joggers to rent in the shop. Moreover, the shop offers its customers to...

The new board will be designed to allow skateboarders and snowboarders practice and stay in shape during the off season or bad weather. The board will move in many different ways, spinning up to 360 degrees and tilting from side to side. The intensity of the tilt and spin will be limited and the board will be detachable from the stand, making it easy to carry. The board will be available in three versions, from a larger board for general fitness use to a more standard sized...

I'm not really sure if it is possible to make my idea come true but here it is... I want to provide skiers and snowboarders with avalanche survival devices to put to their backpacks. In case of an avalanche a sensor built-in the device will trigger the system and a mask will pop out to fit a face. As soon as the avalanche hits a person, a small vacuum pump will suck snow into the canister, melt it, and split the water made from the melted snow into oxygen and hydrogen. The...
