I am submitting a design for a 40-passenger commuter aircraft. It is powered by two turbo-props.
The take-off video shows the aircraft taking off from a parking lot.

Innovative Synergy of New Hybrid Off-Shore Wind Turbine/Permanent Magnet Motor/Generator Design with Renewable Energy Efficiencies
This project plan develops an innovative new wind turbine design which is already highly efficient and increases the efficiency of the wind power capture by synergistically linking the turbine power generation with another
I suggest that we combine infrastructure elements; ie: topping the sound barrier walls that buffer neighborhoods from traffic sounds with solar panels. These walls are supported by metal I-beams footed in concrete.
SafeDrive is a smart widget that detects if a car driver is sleeping at the wheel by computing the blinking frequency and face orientation.
To date, no complete cure for cancer exists, despite enormous sources of funding. I hereby propose that an alternative conceptual approach on how to understand cancer may help to design new strategies that may be more effective and successful in its treatment.
Arguably, the strongest structures in nature have to be the webs spun by spiders.
These super lightweight structures can support massive loads, they can span vast distances (anyone who has walked into a web spun across a garden path can testify).
We all know the disasters generated by nuclear power plants like the Chernobyl Disaster or Fukushima recently.
Yet people stress the fact the plants are safe but by recent standards they are not 100% fault proof.
Small OS for various mobile equipment including medical.

SkyAuto:
My VTOL [Vertical Take Off & Landing Aircraft] prototype model is SkyAuto, which will be a two-seater VTOL. Having three small jet engines mounted at three sides of the VTOL, it will fly at an altitude of 30 feet.
Digital photography gives people many benefits, but still has some things lacking. One of them is inability to take pictures in insufficient light exposure conditions. In such situations the voltage of a photoelectric signal produced by a cell of a matrix is low in comparison with thermal noise.
