It's very inefficient to charge our cell phone's these day's. We're always using them, and it sucks to be "chained down" to a power chord. That's why we need to innovate and transform the way we see charging. Charging a cellphone shouldn't be one dimensional. It shouldn't be solely reliant upon plugging it in, or as some have suggested solar power. I''d create a phone that can charge in three different ways. For the fastest charging, the phone could be plugged in like normal. This could be…

I would change the power source of my car to h2o. The use of water to power mine and other vehicles would be efficient, cheaper, and better for the environment. With the price of gas, water would be an excellent alternative.

I would design a portable music player that is powered off of people walking around. For every step, a little battery life would be powered. This would not only help power in a clean way, but it would promote exercise for others.

I think that everyone should invest in renewable energy. You will see a return on your investment the next time you get your electric bill. At the home level people could have solar panels and wind turbines. The government on the other hand should invest in solar farms and wind farms as well as harnessing the ocean currents to generate electricity

What do you do on your phone probably more than anything else? TALK! Duh! So my invention is to develop a device that allows the power of your voice to add power to your phone. That's right! Talking helps charge your battery! This device will hook onto your phone, something like the back piece of a phone case would. It would be big, it would like a metal plate on the back of your phone. Every time you talk, whether you're on the phone or just chatting with a friend and have your phone in…

I have always been fascinated by the use of solar energy. This may already exist but it would be amazing if we could use a solar plate on the hood of our cars to provide some energy. My car spends most of its' time in the sun as I don't have a parking garage at my apartment complex, and with gas prices rising every day it would be nice to have some help from a resource that is so abundant. Florida is known for the sunshine so lets use it to our advantage!

After thinking about something I could design in order to power something I use everyday, I looked right at my bicycle. I ride my bike to school everyday and decided to design a "mouse running on a ball" idea. The energy would be generated by how far and how fast my tires rotate. This will be hooked up to an energy source which will charge my cell phone. Instead of using energy to charge my phone at night while I sleep, it will charge by the power generated by my legs on my way to school.

I would like to design a special shower drain that converted shower water into some sort of energy that can be used to power something in the house. Instead of being wasted water, the water would turn turbines in the drain that could be converted to power lights or subsidize your home's energy consumption. Now taking a shower would allow you to create energy instead of just wasting water.

I like to read a book before bed every night and I use a lamp on my nightstand for light. My invention would allow me to read at night with sustainable energy. Living in a college town, many people bike to and from class. This invention would create energy by harnessing the energy created by pedaling your bike. It would charge a battery cell that could then be inserted into various objects such as lamps. A days worth of pedaling to class could then fuel my lamp to read at night.

Something I use (or SHOULD use) everyday is a vacuum cleaner in my room and if my vacuum was solar powered I could charge it in the sun and then more easily move it around my room without having to deal with a cord and plugging it in around my room and having to change the outlet that I'm connected to. The only downside would be having to charge my vacuum in the sun but I could create an electronic "charging port" of some sort instead.

Something I use every day is my iPhone. Currently, to charge it, I need to plug it into an electrical outlet. Something I would invent would be a way to charge a phone by using a piece of equipment like a treadmill or stair climber at the gym. Simple plug your phone (or other device that needs to be charged) into the piece of equipment and run, step, walk, etc. to a higher charge on your device! The energy generated from the machine would charge your device while you work out. Great…

My bed is lofted and the power strip that I use to plug in my chargers and other electronics is tucked under my bed and hard to access. Therefore, I typically leave my cell phone and laptop chargers plugged in 24/7. After reading about all of the innovative ways that people are using to save energy, I decided to power my devices in a new way- by only keeping my chargers plugged in when I'm using them. This creates a little more work on my end by climbing around to plug things in and out but…

Every phone would have a small solar panel on it so that it would continue to charge every time you took it out of your pocket.

If I had to use a more sustainable way to power something I used every day I would create a cell phone that was powered by any light source. A normal bedroom lamp or the sun could charge it so it would eliminate the use of power chords that take up so much electricity.

People everywhere use computers and laptops today. Grandparents, children, students, teachers, business people, and families use so much energy every day with these little gadgets. We can not even wrap our head around the how much energy is wasted from this technology. Apple better watchout, because our company, Planet, is creating a laptop that runs completely on renewable energy. Solar powered laptops. They are going to be our future. The new thing. They will be top on the market.

I would create a ceiling fan that can generate wind power. This ceiling fan can help lower utilities.

One of my friends has a watch that is solely powered by movement. Every time he moves his hand or wrist, the watch is able to power the gears inside. I think it would be neat to implement this type of power into cell phones. We are always on our phones (checking the time, texting as we walk, multitasking phone conversations while making meals). If we could add this feature of turning movement into energy, we would not only have longer battery life in our cell phones, but we would also use…

We use our phones everyday. It needs battery to use it, so i have thought about how to charge a new battery. My idea was to make a shoes that has a battery under the shoes and when we make a step it will generate power by heat and by the pump. It's simple, we just need to wear the shoes like this and walk for long time and when it gets low battery, we just need to take of the battery under the shoes and change it.…

This current world, the solar power is attracting much attention. Some country are selling the solar cells, but poor people can' buy the solar cells. In addition, the solar cell's cost is too expensive. I think the thing that can do with sunlight without the solar cell, and I have an idea the can do it. It's when we heat the food. We can heat by oven or stove, but the poor people can't have it. Poor people have to cut the tree and they heat the food. If there is a mistake, their house can…

Light is needed even when its not dark, some houses don't have enough windows to allow enough sunlight in. We privilege people have access to light bulbs and unlimited amount of electricity, therefore we people do not consider the gratefulness of light in our daily life. Have you ever thought about the people living in slums who don't have access to enough electricity? People in poverty can't eve afford a new light bulb, because it costs 6.02 dollars while they earn less than a dollar a…
