Airliner for Sightseeing Printer Friendly Version
Imagine... an airliner designed to give all of the passengers a panoramic view! Imagine fleets of them flying thousands of tourists low and slow throughout a network of resorts located at the world's greatest attractions, no matter how urban or remote.
With STOL runways, hotels, restaurants, shops and ground transportation systems, these franchised complexes are strategically placed along scenic flight paths that wind through areas like the Grand Canyon, the Amazon, the African Plains, the Outback, the Pyramids, Niagara, Victoria and Angel Falls, and along the Nile, the Mississippi and China's Great Wall.
Imagine the Earth is like a magnificent theme park where people on all continents can spend hours, days or weeks touring its wonders while vacationing along the routes of Lewis & Clark, Lafayette, Columbus, Polo, the Pioneers, the French, the Spaniards, the Romans and the Vikings, to name a few.
This worldwide tour operation is managed within a satellite communications & reservations system. The system incorporates an interactive touch-screen monitor, which points out and explains interesting things the passengers clearly see below. They are amazed with the moving maps and displays of their aircraft's flight instruments, navigation systems and weather radar. They enjoy the live video connection with relatives back home, and making unlimited calls to anywhere, even to their fellow passengers, to the reservations center and their flight crew. Because they are visually orientated, informed and in-touch with their world, the public is now comfortable with flying and can relax and enjoy the breathtaking view before them.

InfraCode Automotive Black Box Printer Friendly Version
If you're anything like me, you probably get frustrated when you're driving your car on to the interstate and, as you are about to get on, some idiot decides to slow down/speed up trying to keep you from getting on in front of him/her, causing you to run off the road and him/her going berserk and crashing into the concrete barrier inbetween traffic directions. The next thing you know the police arrive and they are trying to figure out who's at fault (and you know that it is all yours - sarcasm of course).
Well any way, my idea is a device that would record all events that take place from the time you start your car including start time, time drive engaged, acceleration times/speeds, stop times, braking points/times, impacts. etc. That way, when you get in an accident, the police officer could point his handy InfraCode receiver at an infrared transmitter, say on the dash of the cars involved, and download all the information he needs to determine who is truly at fault. By knowing the information that I have spoken of about all vehicles involved, it would be very easy to determine who is at fault. Maybe even a program could be written to interpret the data and come to a conclusion within a few seconds. Actually this would be quite simple to implement as opposed to some other ideas.
Reward: 100% credit.

Train Track Walker Notification System Printer Friendly Version
I think trains should have paintball, pellet, or BB guns fixed to the locomotive to shoot at people are walking on the tracks. Most of the time, when someone gets hit by a train the number one reason (besides stupidity) is that they are wearing earphones turned up too loud. If you shot him a few times, he might just have enough time to get off the tracks and keep his life.
Reward: The reward would be getting to shoot a stupid person with a pellet gun.
