View Full Version : Things you'd buy if they sold them

I had a great idea that came along in one of my drunken ramblings one night. It popped into my head out of nowhere and after I said it, my friends looked at me and were pretty impressed with my invention.

It would be a car cover that had inflatable sacks or bubbles inside it and you could air it up so it would provide protection for your car from hail and other hazardous elements. I checked in to possibly patenting the idea, but someone got to it before me and they are now going to be mass producing these babies.

It's a shame, too, because that was my chance at making my fortune.

I also have another idea that would be pretty cool. A dream recorder. You would record all your dreams and when you woke up, you could watch them on tv. I have no idea how to actually do this, of course, but it would be damn cool.

Anyway, what are some of the things you'd guys buy if stores sold them?

The dream thing can be possible if someone found a way to translate the electrical impulses in the brain into actual images, but that kind of science is still way off. My ideal product would be a machine that could transmit and store information directly into your brain, so you could learn things in a matter of seconds. Much like they did in the Matrix. Either that or something that could produce tangible holographs.

So, something like these?

http://www.funtimeinflatables.com/P/Accessories/carcapsule.htm

I've had a lot of ideas I thought were winners only to discover they'd already been unsuccessfully marketed and were thus obscure to me. Some other ideas I never pursued while the potential was good and the market eventually vanished or someone else had the same idea and made it a real product.

So, you have to search around but you also have to have the drive to make it happen if the opportunity is there.

One thing I always wanted whenever I'd be pressganged into loading up a water cooler with the maximum size bottles was a way of loading the new bottle without removing the cap. When the bottle was in place you would then use some mechanism to open the cap and let the water flow without getting much of it on the floor. My idea was a blunt spike that would be sufficient to puncture the cap without being capable of injuring an idiot who stuck his hand inside the cooler without a bottle present. The spike would be driven by a foot pedal so that even a small adult could bring enough pressure to bear on the cap.

"but I want a gun that shoots knives."

I was watching this video of an art group that back in the lte 80's made these radio controlled robots that fight. I could of sworn one shot knives.

One of the best things on the video is a robot that shoots shockwaves- enough to break glass; at an dutch audience. Watching them cover their ears and freak out is worth the price of the DVD alone.

Not really. Think of a regular car cover, but with small inflatable bubbles, that when inflated, would only rise an inch or two up.

Welcome to the future!

http://www.cybersciences.com/cyber/4.0/2000/10/gif/SkyCar.jpg

http://old.hartfordadvocate.com/articles/images/skycar3.gif

Moller has developed, built, and flown a two passenger prototype model of a volantor called the M200X. The volantor is a new type of aircraft that combines the performance of airplanes and the VTOL capability of helicopters in a single vehicle without the limitations of either.

Using a principle similar to that of the British Harrier jump jet, the Moller Skycar volantor incorporates a patented thrust deflection vane system that redirects thrust, enabling it to hover or to takeoff and land vertically from almost any surface. This capability plus the added safety of ducted fans makes it ideal for a wide variety of commercial and military applications. These include private and charter air travel, express delivery, news gathering, border patrol, police and fire work, and search and rescue, to name just a few.

-----------------

As a result of the recent successful hovering flights of the M400 Skycar, Moller International is accepting deposits to secure delivery positions for our M400 Skycar until after the Skycar has flown from hover to full aerodynamic flight and returned (transitioning flight). A limited number of delivery positions are available.

Well, that's because you're clearly not cool enough for her, and she's too scared to break from the conformity.
