    The Problem

    So many women are victims of mugging. It not only causes emotional stress, but it disrupts the peace, and can cause someone their life or safety. For example, a woman screams for someone to "stop him!" A good samaritan can be met with violent attacks by the criminal. The victim can also put herself in danger if she decides to pursue the criminal. The criminal can even get hurt or killed by the person chasing them! Also, when someone's purse is gone, so is most of their personal information. I believe this product (I call it the "Power Purse")will save people alot of time and trauma.

    The Solution

    The "Power Purse" will be designed so that it is lined with a metal/material that conducts electricity at an effective yet safe level. The woman will possess a wireless buzzer that activates the purse if it is stolen from her.It will act as a tazer on the criminal. The level of pain should be enough for the criminal to surrender the purse.

    Product Comparison

    • "The Lipstick stun gun." Not accesible if purse is snatched and requires close contact, which could be dangerous.

    The Problem

    Keeping a cooler cold for extended periods of time is difficult due to the amount of ice needed. Why not harness the sun to power a cooler and keep your beer cold! Control temperature using an app in order to ensure contents inside will stay cool.

    The Device

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ToH27OK_CgY Video shows one possible way of achieving this. I do not own any rights to the video I simply found it while doing research. Small coolers would be the most cost efficient and simple to produce. I imagine a cooler large enough to fit about 10 beer cans or a picnic for two. Back up car adapter to keep cool when low light possibly.

    The Problem

    When biking or hiking you want to be seen. So you wear a fluorescent jacket. But once you wear a backpack this jacket becomes a problem. Or you wear the jacket under the backpack (nullifying the safety/visibility), or you wear the jacket over your backpack (making it uncomfortable and making you look like a dork ;). Actually fluo jacket + backpack = uncomfortable and unsafe.

    The Solution

    The JackPack will give you comfort and safety in one ! Simply by putting a U-shaped zipper in the back of the jacket. When opened you can put your backpack through the opening. Now you have a comfortable and safe jacket ! Open or close, you can zip up the front and/or open the back...

    The Problem

    Have your data with you wherever you go.

    The Solution

    Could be WiFi or Bluetooth enabled, or just have mini-B or micro-B USB plug (anyone has those cables anyway, because we need them for our smartphones). If memory is connected with the USB cable: Just put small micro-SD card in ring or earring and integrate small card reader that can be connected using USB cable to your Mac or PC. Ring or earrings should be waterproof. Memory could be integrated in any other Jewelry as well. Quirky's tech Jewelry! P.S. Check out my other cool ideas!

    The Problem

    I lost a lot of my hearing from having my headphones on too loud when I was younger and have a constant ringing in my right ear due to it. Current headphones of any kind don't have a build in volume control that will keep you or your children from permanently damaging your and their hearing.

    The Device

    My smart headphone will be a headphone with a built in volume control tailored to your specific hearing needs that will keep you from damaging your eardrum and thus permanently losing your hearing. This will be done via the app that will test the thresholds of your hearing through a quick hearing like test when you initially put on the earphones and program the headphones not to exceed those thresholds. Another feature that these headphones could have is that if someone calls your name, your phone is ringing, the fire alarm is going off, or the doorbell is ringing, and/or etc. your headphone will alert you and turn off, so you can hear what is going on. You can preprogram the app to when and what sounds or words to shut off to and alert you to what is going on in your surroundings.
