The showcase was held at Denver's Cable Center. Inventor Showcase Official Site

Lucid Brakes

The Lucid Brake is a brake light for your bicycle, this is from John Craig an inventor out of Parker.

The light does not need to be wired up to your bike, but has censors that can detect when you come to a stop.

The Nap Cap

Dave Perry, from Fort Collins, is a seasoned traveler. After many years on the road and many hours in airports, he would always try to squeeze in a nap when he could. This is how the Nap Cap was born.

It's a standard baseball cap that is fitted with a snug eye-mask that blocks out the light.

You can find it at www.napcap.biz

BioHawt Wind Turbine

Robert Irwin is the creator behind the BioHawt, it's a wind turbine meant to attach to your house. The design is meant to harness wind gusts at lower altitudes.

The BioHawt is still in the conceptual phase- and is being developed by a company called re-thought in the Denver area.

The Fleece Seat

Brad Hugg is from Denver and loves the great outdoors. He was enjoying a camping trip to Moab, Utah when he got the idea for the Fleece seat.

The seat is a custom cover for those folding sports chairs. The seats can be cold and Hugg found himself throwing a fleece blanket over it; the problem was the blanket would shift.

The fleece seat provides a warm seat and custom fit; it also has pockets for extra storage.

The Snap Bagger

Few of us enjoy the annual task for racking and bagging up a mountain of dead leaves. Stephanie Romero is one of those people. That's why she came up with the Snap Bagger, a better way to bag up your leaves.

The Snap Bagger has a long handle and is used like a dust pan to bag up your leaves. You attach a garbage bag to the bagger; you can either scoop or sweep leaves inside.

The Bagger is available for purchase; you can see it at www.snapbagger.com.
