Power Saver Sensor for TVs Printer Friendly Version
I have a son who constantly leaves the TV on when leaving the room. Often it can be on for an hour or more without anyone watching. I propose an infrared/motion sensor similar to burglar alarms be built into the TV to determine whether anyone is watching. If nobody is in the room for more than 2 minutes (or other specified time), the screen drops out (in the same fashion as computer monitors go into power saving mode). The sound remains on but drops out a little later. Finally, the TV goes to standby mode. Of course, if the watcher re-enters the room after only a short absence, the sensor detects this and immediately turns on the screen again.
Reward: Knowing I helped to save the environment and a TV with this capability.

Reflective Designs Printer Friendly Version
There is reflective material that is added to children's clothing and boots sometimes, etc. I love this and would find it interesting to have an artistic design created from it. You could have something for the living room, or children's room (would be great for the little ones when darkness arives). You could go crazy with themes for this (Egyptian, flowers for girls, fish, religious, whatever your fancy might be).

Electronics That Would Need No Charge Printer Friendly Version
The key to chargeless electronics is to have super conductors that allow electrons flow freely without collision or inhibition. The current problem is that these super conductors are not congenial to room temperature. If I recall right, the current super conductors can remain super until temperatures of about 168 degrees, while room temperature is about 273 degrees. But the thing is as soon as we can come up with super conducts that work in room temperature, there will be no need to charge up batteries since electrons will not collide, and charge won't be lost through heat.
Researchers are still working on this but I am now going to study physics with this being one of my main projects and objectives. It will revolutionize the world and end our energy dependence. Let me know your thoughts pls.
Reward: partaking in any projects relating to this.
