I think this is an amazing idea. I love playing soccer. in one game of soccer people kick the ball a lot of times. So we can power an apartment in like one game.

I love Jessicas idea of the power generating soccer ball. Especially since my family loves to play soccer and a bunch if not all families in Mexico love to too so all those families put together could make a lot of energy.

Jessica's idea can speak to many people. Her energy generating soccer ball can show that such a small thing, like having fun with your friends with Jessica's invention, can lead to something as big as making energy with just one kick. This really amazed me.

I love Jessicas Idea. A lot of people in the world love to watch and play soccer. People in every nation enjoy it so the power could be produced very effeciently.

I believe Jesica's idea was very creative and obtainable. Soccer is the most popular sport in the world. People from all nationality enjoy this game. Because of this, electricity could be produced around the world by getting activity and excerzise Ina sport loved.

Dell computers has begun recent research into the invention of solar energy. These labtops may or may not be realesed howevver if they are it would highly relieve the enviorment.

Jssica's idea is really neat. So many people play soccer, and that means everyone can take part in creating energy. Playin soccer won't just be a fun game any more, it will be a fun activity and a way to make life easier on a family.

I think that her idea was amazing. It just shows how a little idea can spark into something HUGE. It also taught me how lifechanging something as simple as playing a game of soccer can be.

Conventional airliners are heavy, thirsty, noisy and polluting, despite aeronautical designers' best efforts. But in the future we may be travelling in a flying wing or batwing (in which the entire fuselage becomes the means of lift) - an idea first suggested by Frederick Handley Page in 1961. Made of plastic and with areas of the surface punctured with tiny h***s to reduce drag, the wings would be much lighter and so more fuel efficient, and the engines would be mounted on top to deflect noise away from the ground. And they would be flown differently, too: in formation perhaps, which would reduce fuel consumption, and at different altitudes to prevent the formation of polluting condensation trails. The result could bring aircraft emissions below today's levels by 2025, despite an expected doubling in the amount of passenger air traffic. Both Boeing and Airbus are already working on flying-wing projects.

I think Jessica's idea is brilliant. Kids can help make energy for their house by having fun. the soccer ball encourages kids to have fun and stay fit. this invention could change the lives of many. there would be so much energy we won't know what to do with it. I think the soccer ball is life changing.

Brandon Sparks believes that the power of the future sustainable energy lies in individuals. Ways people can make a major difference he says are, cut down on gas by driving smarter and not as often, lower your use of electricity mainly by turning off your lights before you leave your house or room. You should also use compact fluorescent bulbs. Another idea is to reuse materials that you'd normally throw out. Buy metal water bottles and canvas bags so you won't have to keep on buying new plastic bags and bottles. Lastly, unplug phones and computers as soon as they are fully charged!!!

I think Jessica's idea is good because it will motivate people to be more active when they know that it is providing lots of energy for them and other people, too. This inspired me and now I realize that doing little things like playing a game of soccer can make a lot of energy and make a big difference.

Gyanesh Pandey is the CEO of Husk Power Systems. He came up with the idea of making electricity out of the rice husk resource. h egrew up in Bihar, India, which is th enation's poorest state. There are 80 million people who live there and only 15% of those 80 million people do not have electricity. He realized this caused lots of problems such as poorer nutrition and hygreine, less available light , more crime, etc. He grew up in this environment, so he was used to it. Eventually he came to the United States for a better education. He studied electrical engineering and settled for a high-paying job in Los Angeles. Soon, he realized how different his life was now to his childhood and wanted to give back. He tried many methods of creating cheap electricity and decided on running an entire power plant on rice husks. Pandey entered and won a student business model contest at the University of Virginia. Pandey found some friends who were willing to create this idea into reality and the Husk Power System was created. I think this man has an interesting story because he took he experiences as a child and made the best of it. Look at him now! He is a very successful businessman helping weveryone around ihm and not wasting valuable rice that would go to waste before Pandey came along.

I like jessica's idea. There would be so much energy made we wouldn't know what to do with it.Kids would become less lazy and more active with this idea.

I really love Jessica's idea because a lot of people play soccer. I magine how much energy one would produce in one game. And this idea is a good way to get kids off their behind and make a better world.

Jessica Lin's invention is AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She invented a soccerball that produces energy while used. This is such a great invention because tons and tons of people play soccer and tons and tons of people use electricity. With that we will be able to make energy without polluting the planet. Her inventing is great.

I am really astonished by what Fabio Rosa has done. According to TheNewHeroes, he brought hundreds of families electric powered pumps, refrigerators and lights for the first time in their lives. Rosa spread his idea to thousands of families, and eventually to more than half a million Brazilians. But in the late 1990s, the electricity industry in Brazil was privatized and the new owners weren't interested in pursuing his model because the profit margins in the countryside were too low. So Rosa came up with a new plan to rent solar power equipment to villagers who live in the most remote areas of Brazil. He is just one person and yet he has saved so many from suffrage.

I'm impressed by Jessica's invention because she makes electricity by playing with a soccer ball! Imagine how many people it can help!
