Innovative unique IT product ldea: Wall mounted coin operated machine

This could revolutionalise the industry by offering something which most of us need but never imagined it could be so simple, accessible and economic. For the entrepreuner, it could fetch around usd 1500 to 2000 per month per machine, without any supervision. For the end user, it delivers much needed service at a negligible cost. Idea available

Innovative commercial aircraft does not need runway

The world seems fixated on aircraft design. Turbines pushing air backwards, wheels designed for safe landing on runways. The conventional design needs long runways that are expensive to acquire, develop and maintain. Passenger risk is higher with conventional design, and people are praying to God while landing.
Think out of the box, to design a commercial aircraft that can land vertically down (aircraft remaining horizontal during landing) with well controlled descent using some unconventonal techniques that I can imagine.
This is a global design challenge !
Let us see who moves faster in this direction

Bullet Deflector Body Armour

Since 14 May 2011, this idea originated in my mind, and has has occupied my mind, as we see the rise in violence across the globe. Each one of us has a right to survive and therefore innovation in security products is the dire necessity of the day.

Solar power for homes: plenty of innovation possible

Most solar panels have same/similar physical appearance. The surface area exposed to sun rays is limited. There exists great potential to innovate the physical structure of the panel to make it more efficient.
Innovations have to be simple enough for a scientist's mind to be triggered. I believe that innovation driven by simplicity will drive future advances in technology.
The need is to think differently, and imbibe this into the minds of the next generation.
There will always be the necessity to extract more power per unit area of the panels. It is as simple as that.

Happy to be a winner at the Composites App Challenge 2011

For me, it was indeed a pleasure to participate in, and win the idea category USD 20,000 cash award announced on Feb 3, 2011
It took 3-4 months to evolve the idea and give it a concrete shape. There exists a very good potential to introduce composites in many applications. It does help conserve precious natural resources and reduce greenhouse emissions. The spirit of innovation continues

Mosquito Eradication idea

Mosquito menace is on the minds of billions of people around the globe, and is on the rise. Untill now, almost all the domestic solutions available, to my knowledge, are designed to repell mosquitos. This is actually not doing anything to eliminate them. The spray of disinfectants by municipalities actually harm humans more, and prepare mosquitoes to evolve stronger to survive.
I have been thinking why should we not think away from convention and design something that will actually attract and kill mosquitoes, similar to the fly & insect killer devices. This way we can make sure, the mosquitoes do not go back to the breeding grounds. The device can have something similar to a human organ (hand) with blood like fluid inside. Funny it may sound, but who knows it may become a stimulant for further research.

Nailcutter improvement/innovation

While cutting nails, the biggest concern for me is to prevent the flying nails from spreading across the floor/table. A partial side-blockage on both sides of the exits will solve this problem. I wonder why even the top manufacturers never improved on their products.
