Contents

Random fields of interest produced during the brainstorm sessions

Environment

  1. Uptake, conversion or binding of CO2
  2. Cleanup of contamination (water-repellent)
  3. Biofuels
    • (Ligno) cellulose
    • Hydrogen
    • Rocket fuel
    • Carbon chain production
  4. Cigarette smoke dissolving bacteria
  5. Biological filter
    • Toxins and detoxification
    • Dust/Fine particles

Appliances

  1. Clock
    • Seasons
    • Time
    • Growth cycle
  2. Sound
    • Detection, or react to radio signal/antenna
    • Production (need for very sensitive recorders)
  3. Roll the dice – seven is the lucky number!
  4. Ambilight (look at Philips for inspiration)
  5. Bacteria in motion
    • Ion motor
    • Spinning bacteria
    • Buoyancy
  6. Sensors
    • Pressure
    • Blood sugar level
    • Temperature (TUDelft 2008)

    • TNT, “bermbommen”
    • Anthrax
  7. Biological Lubricant
  8. Hydraulics
    • Take-up of water to increase leverage

Electricity

  1. Electrical discharge
  2. Solar power cells
  3. Magnetic bacteria
    • NMR/MRI Magnetosome
    • Compass
    • Magnetic detection
  4. Electronic circuits (on/off)

Medical

Downsizing to seven main interest area's

  1. Sensors

Down to three

  1. Bouyant bacteria (purification, etc.)
