Turbocharged alternator Printer Friendly Version
Since a high performance turbocharger reduces engine lifetime, I had this idea.
The turbocharger turbine would be connected to a reductor instead of an air pump and then it would push an alternator. So, all parts that are normally connected directly to the engine, like oil pump, water pump, air conditioner compressor, power steering pump, would be pushed by electrical motors. The engine would get free from all that stuff without being damaged, and all the energy wasted in exhaust flow would be recycled by the turbo. Even the waste gate would not be necessary.
Reward: I would like to know that it works.

Variable Car Window Transparency Printer Friendly Version
Many times while driving in the sun, I wish if there was a knob in the car's dashboard, using which i could turn the windows opaque to a certain extent. Some times at night, with the tinted glasses, I wish I could turn them completely transparent.
I dunno if such a device exists, but the laevo & dextro rotatory properties of light when passing through different mediums may be used. Another idea would be to use a chemical sandwiched between layers that could be triggered by electrical impulses.
Reward: Could someone fit such a device to my car?

Internal pump Printer Friendly Version
How about having a mini air pump in the tyres of cars, bikes, etc. so that when your tyre reaches a certain low the pump activates, releasing a slow pressure until it's up to original pressure.
