Natural Air Conditioner/Heater
Since the ground temperature remains between 50-55 degrees F year round we could use nature to cool and heat our houses and businesses. Transfering the heat from the attic through the foundation walls in the basement into the ground in the summer time. Probably could use the fact that heat rises to create a ventilation system that is naturally powered too instead of using an electric fan. Then in the winter, using the difference in temperature between the frost layer and the 50 degree layer to transfer heat into the building using an intricate ventilation system.Reward: A cleaner and happier Earth

Color Changing House Paint or Vinyl Siding
the idea is this: in the summer you want your house to repel heat, in the winter you want your house to absorb heat. if you were to make a paint or vinyl siding that became darker when it got cold and lighter when it got warm, it would accomplish the goal.Reward: just let me know it worked :-)

"Leave-up" Holiday Christmas lights
Here's what I would love if someone would create... Christmas lights that can be left up all year without making you look like the problem neighbor.I'm thinking of a thin housing or tube that blends seamlessly with the gutters on your house. The housing would appear white when the lights were off, but would be transparent enough to see the lights through when they were turned on. Of course, the lights would have to be reliable so you don't lose strings here and there and have to climb up every year anyway.They would clip to gutters and be inflexible enough that they would look like part of the gutter (not flexible like rope light, which would sag over time).Other styles that blend with roof shingles would also be cool so you could have lights on the top of the roof too. But starting with white to blend with gutters would seem the easiest place to start.Reward: I would love to have these installed on my house!!

Never shovel snow again!
Hate shoveling the walk-way, porch or driveway? Small heated coils that would run under your concrete walk way or driveway (heating the concrete or pavement just above freezing temperature to keep snow, or ice from building up, saving time, money and slipping and falling) would eliminate having to stand out in the cold and run a snow blower, shovel or the expensive daily bill of having someone plow for you.
