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?
 
I swear I bring this up waaaay more often than I should in casual conversations, but I want a gun that shoots knives.

OR

A gun that shoots tiny guns so not only do you get hit by a tiny bullet, but you get pistol whipped by a tiny gun too. :lol:

PS: I'm not insane, I just think it'd be funny.

Is that a variant on the attack dogs that spit stinging bees?

Now that is some funny shit! Hahahaha![/quote]

Those were actally the first guns, made in ancient China. They didn't have bullets, so all gns shot small blades.

Yeah, but I'm picturing a rifle shooting butter knives and regular kitchen knives. Just the picture of it is cracking me up.
 
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.

Oay, you got me there. Speaking of butter and gus, how about a butter bazooka?
 
Personally, I'd love a time machine or a cloning device. Or both combined - go back five years, AND you're now a triplet! What could be better?

If I had a clone, I'd make him go to work for me while I sat around watch football and got drunk aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalllllll day long.
 
If they sold them, i would buy a message baord where people posted brilliant ideas that werent already used, so that i could profit off of them.
 
So, something like these?

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.

How do you know he wouldn't make you go to work for him while he sat around watching football and getting drunk all day long? Think about it.

Well, that's a good point. I guess I'd make him weaker than me so I could kick his ass if he ever tried to leave me.

A horse is a horse,
of course, of course,
and no one can talk to a horse,
of course.

That is of course,
unless the horse,
is the famous Mr. Ed.

Theyve got something like that: its called a mom. The only difference is clones dont look a lot like you and they're called little brothers.
 
*let's see if anyone gets this reference*

An anti-matter eliminator. It...allows me...to fluctuate.....

For real though, a jet pack would be cool. Or Flubber. A strength enhancing exo-skeleton (there are actual military prototypes now).

I think eveyone want's binocular X-ray specs. So they can detect broken bones at a distance...Yeah, that's it...

Bad idea. If you make him your bitch it just gives him the upper hand in the inevitable palimony suit.
 
How about a keyboard that has a button that shoots a signal through the internet and sends an electric shock to people who spam me.

Lord knows I can have a field day in CAG for all those idiots that post gmail or ipod scams here.

Sorry, no. I've never seen ATHF.

Yeah but you have to be a Spartan to use it without injuring yourself.
 
I'd like some sort of device to discourage drivers behind from tailgating too closely. A caltrop dispenser on the back of my car would be nice, or, more mildly, a nozzle that sprays water (or paint, if I'm feeling cruel) onto the windshield of the car behind me.

Don't do it! Haven't you ever seen Multiplicity?!
 
One of my friends actually just invented and started selling an AWESOME item for sports fans, especially college students.

http://www.papabert.com/

It's a stadium seat that secretly holds 750mL of liquid (ie bourbon for your cokes, or whatever the hell northerners do at games). College football season!

Assuming your friend got a patent, he is going to be rich.

Edit: I see now, patent pending.
 
Dude that Papabert is sweet. What I wouldn't have done for something like that in college. fucking security guards making me throw out my booze.
 
[quote name='DigitalSpace']A time machine.[/quote]

HELL YEAH!!!! That is probably the most useful thing listed here. But I would love it if I can get a giant robot! (GUNDAM LAUNCH!!!! AHHH!!!!!!!!)
 
A car which can also be used as a boat. Useful for when roads are flooded. These really exist, but they are WAY out of my price range.

Was it 2015 they went to in Back to the Future Part 2? We might have to wait until then.

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.
