| Automated Roof Compartment Storage 
To incorporate a roof storage in car design. This storage can be made available by a push of a button. It will utilize some series of motors (similar to sunroof motor) that will move the roof and provide some space between the outer roof and inner roof part for the storage compartment. The final shape will still maintain the vehicle aerodynamic shape. When not in use, the roof shall be lowered to the original shape in order to prevent unnecessary extra fuel consumption due to wind resistance created by the vehicle. This type of storage compartment is suitable for 7-seater MPV/SUV with a very limited cargo capacity.Reward: Some token of appreciation commensurate to the application of the idea

| The unbreakable Umbrella
Have you ever gone out for a walk the day after a windy/stormy day/night and noticed on nearly every street/avenue the twisted carcasses of broken umbrellas? Umbrellas operate fine on rainy days where there is just light to moderate wind - that is they perfom their design function beautifully (keeping the rain off you). However on days when winds start to gust and squall, it is a full time job just trying fo keep the umbrella facing into the wind. At intersections/road junctions and in exposed areas the design flaw of the umbrella comes into play. An abrupt change in direction of the wind catches you off-guard, catching the umbrella and blowing it inside-out. If this gust is strong enough your brolly is busted instantly(hence the discarded skeletal remains (of the brolly) which are discovered the next day! Is it possible to design one which could automatically adjust itself to abrupt & violent changes in windflow? I would be interested in purchasing such a brolly!Reward: Free gust-proof brolly!

| Clog Resistant Drain
Street drains, like those in your kitchen sink, are designed to let water and small amounts of solid matter pass through. Beyond that, they will clog. Their design demand it.How about street drains with gradual "convex" rises instead of straight bars. They would be strongly built to withstand cars and trucks. Leaves, paper, and other debris would shed from the top of the drain and sucked to the lowest open areas. Water, blocked by the forming debris at the base would be forced to seek a "higher" level toward the top of the drain and through.Yes, this drain would also eventually clog, but not with moderate amounts of debris.Reward: name recognition
