| Sealed Floating Wheel Axle System 
Sealed pressurized fluid encasing a floating disk attached to an axle that goes through the center of the disk and attaches to the wheel on the outside of the encasing. The disk is made of a material that easily floats and can contain air or air pockets and the pressurized liquid surrounding the disk forces it to the center where the disk encounters friction only by the liquid that it floats in where the viscosity and pressure are the only factors for friction which defeats the friction of ball bearings and increases efficiency of movement of whatever the axle is attached to. The disk in the center of the liquid never touches the sides of the encasing or containment vessel it is floating in because of the equalibrium of pressure. The only thing touching the disk is the axle. The inner contained, sealed disk basically floats like styrofoam in water. This system will provide skates, wheels, or anything that can use this system with less friction than ball bearings or other mechanical type parts.Reward: Credit

| Hellicopter
OK, this may sound strange, but I had this vision of a man descending off a rugged mountain peak with an oak tree helicopter. Im sure you have seen them. they are those whirly birds leafy things that spin out of oak trees. My idea is, have a large scale replica of a oak tree hellicopter. Have the aerodynamics sufficiently flexible and proportioned to accomondate the passengers weight. Attach it to a race bearing located at the foot, or "seed" area of the "OTH" this would allow the helicopter to spin, but leave a stanionary passenger. The heavier the weight the faster the spin. The "OTH" would allow it's rider to gracefully and delicately float down to their destination. I think this would beat jumping off the roof with an umbrella. Hey how about a new sport!Reward: Generous appreciation

| Airport Cinema
For those of us who don't have access to a golden credit card lounge, sitting at the airport and waiting for a flight can be extremely dull. Why not offer airport cinemas?At the entrance to the cinema, you'd have your boarding card digitally scanned. For that, you get a wrist band with an alarm that alerts you when boarding for your flight is about to begin. Airport cinemas might even prove as an incentive so people turn up at the airport in a timely fashion.Reward: Free entrance to the cinema
