  If I could invent a time travelling spaceship, I’d be really really happy. I’d love to go into space and travel around the solar system. I’d also really like to go back in time and meet some people, see how dinosaurs really looked or witness certain events. Sadly this is not possible, well time travel at least.

  A teleporter – imagine being able to beam anywhere instantly!
  You’d cut carbon emissions down to nearly nothing too. Save the planet and get to see it – all at once!

  Time travelling machine would awesome – going way into the future, or way back into the past.
  
  A bit more realistic (and maybe because winter is starting) would be a new way for getting petrol or diesel into a car that didn’t involved someone having to stand outside in the cold doing it! Just drive up, press a button and machine inputs it directly into the car

  I am looking for a low cost way of understanding wind conditions on sites. We can easily predict the indicative wind speed at 50m high or higher but the issue of to understand the turbulence intensity which will affect turbine performance. This turbulence is caused by the topography of the landscape combined with the trees that grow on the sites.

  hi sheehy
  
  actually am. Working with a company who as a total by-product of their work have invented the worlds simplest water pump that could be made anywhere with the simplest of materials. I think it could change the world.
