Tornado proof home Printer Friendly Version
Tornadoes can cause a lot of damage to homes. My idea is that houses or homes are designed in a way that when a tornado comes, the house can retract or descend down below ground level. The top structure could be designed in a way that even if a tornado passes by, no damaged is done to the retracted house. When the tornado passes by, the house can ascend above ground level.

Inflatable Flood Wall Printer Friendly Version
A heavy-duty, inflatable wall that gets strapped to the front/rear of the house. This could be done in minutes to a house that is prepared. It would roll up and pack away easy. The wall could be made to fit individual homes in flood prone areas. Preparation would be most important.

Corporate Solar Co-op Printer Friendly Version
If you live near a city or even a small town, there are large buildings everywhere and they all have tons of sunlight exposure. If you could put solar panels on all of those buildings and redirect the power back to the power company (let them figure out how to store it), it would be a win-win situation. We reduce some of our dependency on fossil fuels, the corporations that own the buildings save money on electricity, and we avert the next big energy crisis.
Reward: Some free solar panels for my house!
