Airplane evacuation mechanism Printer Friendly Version
Have you ever asked yourself why there are no parachutes (or not enough for all passangers) in civil airplanes for emergency situations?

Well I have, but the only reason I found is that they are too heavy and take cargo space. Is it plausible to parachute 100 people in case of emergency?
What if there is a mechanism to parachute all passangers in their seats through the back of the plain. The seats should be similar with fighter pilot's seats with an incorporated parachute.
I do not know what is the amount of casualties from plane crashes, but there might be justifications for this mechanism to be implemented in future planes.
Reward: Safe airlines :)

All in One Bag Printer Friendly Version
Take almost any size suit case with wheels and incorporate an accordion style expandable/retractable bag that locks into place in order to accommodate practically anything without having to apply pressure on opening or closing. This means less luggage at the airports and faster exits for your convenience.

Ultimate Railroad Cross-Tie Printer Friendly Version
Grind up old automobile tires. Mix this with some sort of resin and pour into cross-tie molds containing reinforcing frame, if necessary and embed noncorroding anchor studs for the rail tie down plates.
This would solve the problem of getting rid of unwanted auto tires and prevent the cutting of tens of thousands of trees currently used for railroad cross-ties also would save man hours replacing ties by extending the life of the ties.
