Microwave home heating Printer Friendly Version
Hot water pumped through radiators is how many houses are heated, right? The water is heated in a boiler using electric or gas burners.... Well how about heating the water using microwave... if it's cheaper to heat a cup of water in a kitchen microwave oven, rather than on a gas or electric stove, then surely it's cheaper to heat the house boiler with a specialy designed microwave thing.
Reward: Fame and fortune.

Inflatable Tent Printer Friendly Version
A small, individual tent that can be inflated through the use of a foot pump, and a quick release valve for easy deflation. No more wrestling with poles and ties to try to erect your tent. Think of the time this would save.
The tent could be made out of a strong material, such as gortex, to help in the prevention of holes or tears. The gortex fabric would also make it weather proof ... no more rain coming in from above. Due to the fact that it is inflatable you would have an instant mattress to lie on instead of the cold, hard ground that is normally associated with camping.
And, if you really want to get crazy with it ... you could throw it out in the middle of the lake (it floats!) and you'd have an instant waterbed!!
Just a fun idea that was running through my head!!
Reward: I want a "Bubble Tent!"

Interactive Exercise Equipment Printer Friendly Version
With all of the Hi-Tech gaming systems out there, and so many exercise gadgets, it's a wonder to me that nobody has combined them. I would like to see a peice of exercise equipment that would challenge me mentally and physically, as well as alow me to compete with other users, even if they are in another part of the world.
I believe that this would motivate a lot of people who would otherwise never exercise to get busy.
I believe that the sheer boredom of repetitons on a weight bench, or running on a treadmill are enough detour many people from exercising.



If you had a stationary bike, rowing machine or treadmill with a large T.V. screen in front of you, and a system that allowed you to choose a "Canyon Run", "Running From the Mafia","Mountain Bike Trail" or even "Rowing With the Whales" or compete with others on the same network. The graphics could be every bit as good as PS2, the X-Box or any other gaming system.
This could be used as either home exercise equitment, or we could even create an entire "Virtual Gym".
I believe that this could absolutely revolutionize the exercise equiptment industry, and promote healthier life styles.
