Flying Car in your Garage Printer Friendly Version
Chop the side wings of any small plane (with propellor on its nose) to the width of the plane. Place them on the top of the plane from above the nose, stepping down to the tail one after the other. Like a radio antenna, they pop up the plane as the plane speeds up due to the lift on the wings, first wing is the topmost and last is lowest, the plane hangs on these wings. Now take off the propellor on the planes nose and place it in front of these stepped wings and above the nose. Here the high speed air from the propellors passes through the wings, giving them a greater than normal lift.
When the plane lands and slows down, the wings get retracted on the top, also the propellor has to be lowered down. Now the plane will fit in a car garage and it becomes a flying car.
P.S: You can also place the same set of wings on the top of a car or bus. The vehicle will start to get hung on these wings as wind passes through the wings, creating lift, this will reduce its weight and thus increase fuel efficency.
Reward: This flying car.

Road Resurfacing Machine (Recycle) Printer Friendly Version
To decrease costs of resurfacing a road and reduce amount of asphalt used. The idea would be to design a paving machine which uses microwaves to heat up old asphalt on the road and enabling it to be picked up easily. The machine would then remix the asphalt to the proper ratio by adding extra asphalt tar and then resurface the road all in a single operation with the same machine. This machine would eliminate the system used presently whereby pavement is stripped, new pavement is brought in days later and the road is resurfaced weeks later.
Reward: New roads resurfaced cheaply with less noise and disruptions.

Hottest Burning Metal Infused Fire Log Printer Friendly Version
It is an artificial log that has your choice of metal or metal combinations in it. It can have steel pieces, fibers, or chuncks, or Magnesium for faster, hotter burning which would leave only ashes behind to clean up or other metals for hotter, colored burning. With copper fibers you would have pretty blue and purple colors and different metal fibers in your logs would all have their own colors when burning. Great for any occasion.
Reward: Credit
