Converting present gasoline engines to work on steam, using a combination of either electrical or propane to make the steam. Engines presently are 4 cycle. To convert to steam would require replacing the 4 cycle camshaft to 2 cycle. Then removing the carburator and intake and exhaust manafolds, and using them to connect the steam to the intake manafold and the radiator to the exaust manafold, where the steam would be cooled to convert to water. The water, being cooled to just below the boiling point would then be connected to the steam generator to be fed to the intake manafold. The cars would need to have the gas tank replaced with a propane tank, and also be equipted with batteries enought to drive normal distance, being rechargeabe by charging overnight at home, but using propane to suplimite the batteries on long trips. Of course this idea would also work on replacement motors. But on present motors, the alternators would also be replacing part of the energy to make the steam. If the motor industry switched to steam, the world would no longer depent on oir at $147 a barrol, and all the greedy ones running up the price of oil would see their high price bubble collepse! This idea is completely free! I wish you success in becoming very rich with you invention!Reward: no reward wanted. Just would like to see it done.

| Traffic monitering System
As everyone know most of our important time we spend in commuting in todays hectic life. This idea is to address common man problem who owns a car in high traffic city. How about having some kind of Traffic monitoring System in car which on enabling will let the driver know by displaying some kind of reading in terms of percentage the amount of traffic in that particular route for example it should display a message "ALERT 90% traffic on 10th street" or "Very slow moving traffic" or "Traffic Jam Ahead"
, so that he can save his precious time by taking some other route to his destination.Reward: A car with such system :)

| Receipt Scanner in Cars
Each time I make a purchase and get a receipt, I either stuff it in my pocket, throw it away, or put it in my car as I leave the store. What if there was something built into the middle counsel or dash of your car, where you can insert the receipt, it is scanned, and is stacked nicely for you to retrieve later. The receipt's info is then inputed to a spreadsheet file or the image is electrically stored. Then you could download the already formatted spreadsheet file to your computer with a running tally of your expenses. Or the file is contained on a USB drive. It could even shred the receipt after scanning, if you don't care to keep the paper copy.Sure, essentially your online bank statements provide this info, but you can't format or manipulate it in a way that might make it easier for you to see a pie chart showing that you are spending 36% of your monthly income on booze.Reward: A unit for my car
