Sample Ideas

• Development and manufacture of direct methanol
  bio-catalytic fuel cells (DMBFC), which can
  replace batteries of low power electronic
  devices. DMBFC provides a longer operational
  time, faster recharging than batteries, and the
  eliminates the need for expensive and problematic
  platinum catalyst of other alcohol fuel cells.
• Development of a vibration dampening system for
  construction and industrial workers who use
  vibrating tools. Tool vibration causes Hand-Arm
  Vibration Syndrome, a deadening of the nerves,
  blood vessels, and tissue of the workers hands.
  Our solution, CounterShock, dampens the
  vibrations that cause the disease.
• Develop, produce and market the worlds first
  vision tester for personal use. The vision tester
  will be inexpensive and will thus enable
  screening of large groups. The Vision Tester will
  in a quick and simple manner cover the needs of
  all who wish to test their vision themselves and
  in this way identify and more regularly check for
  the most common vision defects.
