Human powered monorail 
I've seen the 'Shweeb' pedal powered monorail, but what if you want a better view, more power and a more natural posture? What if you crossed the Shweeb monorail system with a drive system modeled after an elliptical machine? (check out the elliptiGO). An upright, 1-2 person pod designed for speed, aerodynamics, and low-impact human-powered transportation.

Cars
I know that in every car there is a center console and it's useful for small storage. Well, I think we all would like a safe place to put our important things, especially for the majority of us who drive and for those who travel. I think of the center console as a safe, so why not build it to make it more secure? Have an alarm to lock it in it's place so that no one can break into it. Of course, the car would have to be some what computerized. Also, there should be an alarm for the car to lock the tires so that no one steals the car. Lets suppose a person is out in a neighborhood that's not so friendy and that person is worried for his or her car. Well this alaram would send a signal to a the cars mini computer to lock the car and shut it down. A quick review, the alaram sends a signal to the cars computer, locks the center console, and locks all four tires in place making it impossible for someone to steal the tires and the car! Not even a push on nuetral can do the job. I think this is very convenient for everyone people can try to break the windowns but they won't be able to move the car from it's place.

Gas Pump Insert Cash
A gas pump that you can insert cash into (similar to a vending machine). I know theft could be a problem, but it would be similar to a ATM. This would be a convenience for people who don't use debit cards.Reward: a hug

Safe Pod or Safe Shell
Due to the loss of lives on oil rigs in the North Atlantic and other areas, I thought of a possibly fiberglass,watertight, pod or shell-like, floating device equipped with O2 and emergency equipment that oil rig workers could access in an emergency. Two or more workers could jump in and strap themselves in, seal the lid with tinted windows, and have the exterior numbered,painted with fluorescent paint for tracking and designed with hook/or magnet for being plucked out of the sea by rescue helicopters.Reward: Future lives would be saved.

Air Bags for Boats
Large or small boats can carry air bags that inflate which can prevent a boat from sinking. A good desig of such air bags and smart placing of them (which can not be seen on deck) can result in balancing the boat and giving enough time for the crew to unload any water.Reward: a free cruise to Caribbean for the family
