Things like Soap router, mu Optics, Internet in the Box, Bleen, energy harvesting tags (already forgot what it was called), air umbrellas, solar roadways, bracelet projectors, etc.  People will bring money in droves.

That's actually serious.
The ability to come up with a mass market appeal idea (not original just a variant of course) and market it properly along with a a killer crowd funding video. Those skills can net you a cool million or two.

Much better still invent a lovemark in technology. It has never happened in Australia in 200 years in technology, despite some of the world's best  medical and telecommunications electronics technology coming out of this country. This man speaks sense with his lovemarks theory... http://www.saatchikevin.com/ (http://www.saatchikevin.com/) The only lovemark we ever had is Foster's bloody beer. The Americans, Japanese and Germans are fabulous at this - the culture in electronics branding and innovation in these three countries is to be admired. The Chinese are not even in the race. You don't get a lovemark making someone else's product, mass producing rubbish or digging up dirt and exporting it.
