Doctor Richard Osborne has invented a helmet that keeps the magpies away with the sound of party poppers. Not only are they great for safety, they're great for starting spontaneous parties!

Backpacks can feel so heavy, especially if you have shoulder or back pain. A new invention called HoverGlide is designed to lessen the weight and make you feel as if the backpack is floating. Developed over the last 15 years, the designer, Dr. Lawrence Rome, was inspired by the U.S. special operations forces in Afghanistan having to carry heavy packs.
