| Better Parachute 
A rep-cord type of chute where it inflates into an inner body air filled suite fitted to the body's contour. Then an outer air filled suite shaped to have airplane wing form in order to some what navigate its landing. It could be used to evacuate from a burning building to a new way of stealth infiltrating of military personnel, quickly. Or as a new way of dear-devil flying. Of course it would have to be able to cussion the landing to save life and limb.Reward: Saving life and limb, military applications,or a new entertainment venue.

| Powerless Inertia propulsion craft
Nowaday, The US has the most sophisticated spacecraft. But it hasn't ever developed a transport that can use very little energy.
To overcome the grativational force of Earth, people have to apply a lot of thrust to encounter it to go to space.But why don't we try to change things around? I believe (although seems impossible) there are two methods to propel the rocket without fuel. First, scientists can find method to stop a tiny area's gravitational force, then we can just a apply a tiny force to push things up since net force is zero.Second thing is to stop a tiny area on the Earth to stop rotating suddenly. Due to inertia, the rocket in the specific region will start to move with the Earth rotation speed (A HUGE ONE!).Personally, i feel that the second is pretty cool.Reward: Let me be the one who ride on this rocket. Invite me to research in these things.

| Modular Public Transport
I live in Johannesburg. It is a city with virtually no form of efficient public transport. It is fairly large and is a problem to get around without a car.My idea is to implement a modular type of public transportation eg monorail or a surface rail system within a transparent tunnel-like enclosure. This would cover the whole city in concentric tracks with bisecting tracks going out from a single point in the centre. The whole system would be completely automated. The system will automatically select the most efficient route. There will also be an arterial track between cities and towns.I know this is a fairly futuristic idea but hopefully it will eliminate inconvenience and road car accidents.Reward: To see it happen one day.
