Full list of inventions that can be viewed at the exhibition are:

    * The Double Broom -
      A double headed broom invented by 3 year old Samuel Houghton after watching his dad struggle to sweep up leaves in his back garden.

    * SeaRaser Wave Power Generator -
      A self cleaning, low maintenance wave energy device that uses just the motion of the waves to pressurise water through a system of floating pistons to create energy. Creators Dartmouth Wave Energy Limited say 11,000 units could generate enough power for the whole to UK and reduce energy bills by as much as three quarters.

    * Magnamole DIY Solution -
      Dragon's Den winner that enables building contractors and home improvement enthusiasts to pass cables through cavity walls more quickly, easily and most importantly more safely.

    * Karbon Kinetics Gocycle®
      An innovative electric folding bike which allows users to go for up to an hour without recharging, reaching speeds of 15 mph

    * Money Saving Ewgeco Energy Monitor
      Attached to a domestic or commercial power supply, this single device makes monitoring your usage of electricity, gas and water easy through a simple traffic light warning system.

    * All Terrain Trendy Trekinetic® Wheelchair
      With a wide wheelbase and a shock absorbing rear wheel, this radically redesigned wheelchair not only looks much cooler than traditional designs but has been designed with an active user in mind.

    * Lifesaver Portable Water Filter
      Using a triple filter pump activated system to remove bacteria and viruses, as well as mud and dirt, Michael Pritchard's chemical free Lifesaver is literally saving lives - enabling victims of natural disasters quick and easy access to clean water.

    * Road Refresher® Dog Bowl
      A specially designed water bowl for dogs, the Road Refresher enables dogs to drink as you drive and prevent the motion of the car spilling water everywhere. Despite failing to secure funding from the Dragon's Den, inventor Natalie Ellis has gone on to crack the US market with her product - even the Whitehouse now has one!

    * Pop Open Packaging
      Packaging involves many often unseen innovations to ensure a cheap yet reliable product. Developed by the British Library's own Inventor in Residence, Mark Sheahan, Pop-i packaging provides easy access, re-sealable containers for all sorts of confectionary and cosmetic products.

    * Dyson's Bladeless Fan
      Know as the Air Multiplier®, the latest product from Dyson is 15x more efficient than standard existing fan technology, producing air in the base and amplifying it over an aerofoil hoop to create a smooth, powerful, un-buffeted blast of air.

    * Yoomi Self-warming Baby Bottle
      At the press of a button this innovative baby bottle warms baby milk to the correct temperature every time, wherever and whenever require. Using a rechargeable warming device, the feed is heated in through a series of channels on the outside of the warmer - heating just the milk being drunk, whilst keeping the rest fresh.

    * Mosquito Security System
      Emitting a high-pitched series of pulses, at 15.5 to 17.5kHz, which can only be heard by young people, this controversial device was designed to tackle anti-social behaviour by preventing groups of teenagers from hanging around in public places.

    * Speedo's Shark Inspired Swimsuit
      At the 2008 Beijing Olympics 94% of races were won by competitors wearing Speedo's high-tech new swimsuits. Designed to improve times by up to 4%, the cutting edge, water repellent design has been so effective, as of this year they are now banned from competitions amid allegations of ‘technological doping'.

    * Revolutionary Retinal Scanner
      Using an ellipsoidal mirror to reflect a laser beam and provide high-resolution images in a single scan, the Optos retinal scanner has now been used in over 24 million eye examinations world wide and even helped to save the sight of one of the inventor's sons.

    * Rail Track Leaf Laser
      In 1999 Railtrack announced they had spent £50 million tackling the disruption caused by autumn leaves, concluding that they would "never beat nature" and relying on the costly method of "lineside vegetation management". Unwilling to give up on the challenge, LaserThor have developed a much cheaper but yet to be commercialised system of lasers and mirrors to blast debris from the line.
