The new helmet will use round beads to form cushions of air, creating a more comfortable helmet with up to four times the impact absorption of conventional foam. The helmet will be integrated with small polypropylene beads stuffed inside pockets. The balls will be packed closely together, passing on and diluting the energy from an impact. This will reduce the intensity of the blow before it reaches the wearer's head. The beads will also shift a bit when the helmet is put on,...

The new pod makes catching big waves easier, adding a bit of thrust to allow the surfers to reach big waves without the need for a tow. The device is designed to fit on a variety of boards, including surfboards and rescue boards. It fits flat against the underside of the board and relies on a pair of aluminum impellers to provide up to 20 lbs of thrust and 12 mph of speed. The surfer controls the device through a wireless wrist worn remote control, and the rechargeable battery...

The idea is to create a life vest which will be an inflatable flotation device incorporated into a stylish garment. Currently life vest products are very bulky and uncomfortable. This new life vest will be very comfortable to wear and very stylish. A surfer or diver will be able to simply pull the trigger and the inflated bladder will float them to the surface. Currently there are no such devices in the market that can save the life of a drowning surfer or a scuba diver.

If the skates are not ground down properly, you will not achieve a real speed no matter how hard you try. Skates with a wide blade can be ground down with a thick round file or an emery stone rotating in the machine. Only sharp skates allow you to feel comfortable while skating on the ice and, of course, to develop the maximum possible speed. So do not let yourself go skating with blunt skates! Grind down your skates regularly!

I am a member of a soccer club. We have no real goalies there so the field players have to take turns in the goal. I always have the feeling that some people spend more time in the goal then others but I have no real proof. I suggest creating a device similar to a chess clock but with five and more buttons. If you're in the goal, you press your button so as it is easy to track your time there. I am sure that this device would have many other applications!

New inflatable floatation device will be about the size of a mobile phone, and will be quickly inflated to provide support to exhausted swimmers. The device will be small enough to be strapped to the waist or gear. Pulling the trigger will cause the canister of compressed air to fill the tube, which will be bright yellow to make spotting by rescuers easier. The device will be attached to the user by a tether, and can be deflated and reused.

The new street lamp concept will allow motivated passers-by to use integrated exercise machines charge its batteries. The LED lamp poles will feature an interactive display that will show battery life and how much power has come from humans while also displaying feedback to the person powering the machine, such as amount of calories burned. It is believed that the concept will not only save energy, but also enhance community awareness of green energy.

My idea is to have a snowboard / mountain skateboard with big wheels (there will be a button for changing modes). I will use snowboard to go down a snowy hill; in case there are rocks, dirt or a road I will be able to change the mode just pressing the button and the wheels will pop out.

Why not create an office desk which will allow users to burn calories while still working at their desk. The height of the desk will be easily adjustable, so it can be used standing, with a conventional chair, or with the trainer. A monitor on the elliptical machine will display information such as distance or calories burned, as well as providing the interface for electronically controlling the resistance of the pedals. The device will be designed to be operated at lower speeds,...

Why not create a new limestone based rubber, which will be entirely petroleum free. The new rubber will be used to produce wetsuits, which will have increased buoyancy created by a closed-cell injected construction, as well as improved stretch, durability, and insulation.
