A modular mushroom-based wall insulation panel that grows to fit standard stud walls and composts at end of life.
A freestanding carpet that uses the pressure of people walking on it to produce energy, potentially using air sacks under the carpet to release air when stepped on to blow a small turbine producing small amounts of energy. The idea for the mechanism is rough and not set in stone, so if you have a more suitable idea as to how it could work, i would appreciate it. Having air sacks underneath would benefit as they'd provide a soft floor too.
The Poo-to-Power Environmental Revolution Our revolutionary new environmental technology is called PooPower™, a cutting-edge system that turns human poo into electricity. The plan is simple: instead of flushing poo away like normal people, every household will be required to collect it in a special Poo Bucket™. Once a week, the government will send a Poo Van to collect everyone's poo and take it to a giant poo-powered power station. At the power station, scientists will put the poo into a machine called the Mega Poo Blender 3000™, which spins the poo around at extremely high speeds until it produces electricity. The machine will also release a pleasant-smelling cloud of methane, which will somehow be described as "eco-friendly". To encourage participation, households will receive PooPoints based on how much poo they produce. These points can be exchanged for environmentally friendly rewards such as reusable straws, bamboo socks, or one free extra poo bucket. The system will also include Poo Drones, which will fly around cities collecting emergency poo from people who have "forgotten their bucket". Scientists estimate that the technology could reduce carbon emissions by approximately 7%*, while creating around 14 million new jobs in the poo collection industry. *This number was calculated by putting the words "7%" into a calculator and pressing the green button. Overall, PooPower™ represents the future of environmental technology. By working together and producing as much poo as possible, humanity can finally defeat climate change one massive turd at a time. PooPower™ — Don't waste it. Harness it.
A tote bag with flexible solar panels stitched into the fabric to charge phones on the go using recycled materials.
Household rainwater cistern with a low-cost turbidity sensor that opens a bypass valve when water quality is too poor for drinking.
A universal bottle cap that clips onto any bottle to make it reusable.
