| Modular power generation. 
This idea is based on very old tried and true principles of physics. Hydroelectric power has been around for a long time. The man who invented the modern world, Nicola Tesla, also invented a very novel turbine. Imagine the average home owner putting a large low slung water tank on top of their house. A 2 inch ID pipe descends 8 feet into a Tesla Turbine. The Tesla Turbine outlet goes into another tank. At the top of the upper tank is a sensor that turns the water valve to open. At a point lower is a sensor to turn the valve closed. Elevated water = energy. The Home owner invests enough money to trickle charge the system at first. A small pump powered by some solar cells will pump water back to the top tank. The generator will only run when the upper tank is full and turns off when there is insufficient water pressure. This won't run continuously at first but it will run a meter backwards enough times during the month to save a significant portion of money on electricity. The savings can be applied to more water pumping devices. I have a slew of ideas for those. Stirling engines powered by parabolic mirrors, bales of hay, the difference in temperature between ambient and 6 ft under, etc. Make the devices modular and readily addable. Over time, by adding pump modules to the system, the home owner will have continuous free power. Since this technology does not depend on expensive batteries or fuel cells it is cheap enough for most people to afford readily without loans. Because it is modular it is feasible to be done by most home owners in the developed world.Reward: Continuous free power. What more can one ask for? Ok, I would like a job in the industry created. That would be great!

| The carrot straightener
So after watching the BBC with Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, I was shocked to see how many carrots get thrown away just because they aren't eye candle. Well please give me feed back on my idea and maybe this could get to market and stop wasting food! I have graphically designed the product, i would like some feed back to whether this would work and if it is a business opportunity

| Disposable Moist Towelettes for Eye Gunk Removal
Most people will use a towel in the shower to remove that annoying and gross eye gunk but it comes back through out the day and then what? You try to get rid of it with your finger or a dry tissue paper but, it is too hard and wont come off. You can try the common moist towelettes that all ready exist but, they have soap or alcohol which is damaging or painful to use.If we add an eye moisturizer to a towelette then we could get rid of eye gunk when your out driving around or some where that you can't get home. It would fit in your purse or car or anywhere you put towelettes and be very accessable at any time. If you were home you could wet a wash cloth or small towel but then you would have to wash it later. For good eye health and no scratches (which is easy to do to your eyes) you should use something like this product to clean out your eyes. A healthy way to keep them clean and if you wear contacts the eye gunk is a constant problem. They would hand them out with every pair of contacts. You could make a moist towelette form of it to fit over your finger, and use it that way too, since sometimes it is only in the corners of your eyes (also disposable).Reward: Credit
