New Invention Ideas
A few more new invention ideas. Read about them, laugh at
them if you must, modify them, use them and call them your
own if you want.
Air
conditioning shirt. Backpacking in hot weather, I often stop
to wet my
shirt in a stream. The evaporative cooling as
it dries is wonderful. Now if a shirt had little water "tanks" on
the shoulders, a shirt could be kept wet and keep cooling for
hours, perhaps. They would have to be lightweight, and they
would have to release the water slowly. Even better would be
tanks with an adjustable rate of flow, so you could have the
shirt wetted at the same rate is was drying.
Motorskimobile. This is a motorcycle for snow. It would run
on a track like a snowmobile, but it would be a different kind
of ride. The user would be sitting higher, just like on a motorcycle,
and would be able to maneuver tighter turns. It could also
go down narrow trails more easily.
Wave power generators. As kids, we roped, chained and tried
everything we could think of to keep our raft anchored. When
the waves came, though, even the chains broke. Why not use
this lifting power of the waves to run a generator? The whole
unit would be anchored to the bottom of the lake, or ocean.
A float would move up and down with the waves, lifting and
dropping a plunger that turns a generator with each movement.
Additional units could be easily added to a collection, and
the resulting electricity wired to shore.
Caskets
for possessions. A novelty invention, the idea here is to
have something to bury your favorite possessions in when
they are broken or otherwise "dead."
A wall that changes colors. You have probably seen those billboards
that use three-sided rotating panels to instantly change the
picture on the sign. There are three possible views, of course.
The new idea here is to apply this invention to walls for homes.
When you get bored with the color of the wall, you push a button
and it changes to another color, or a mural, or whichever of
the three choices you set it up with.
Paintings that change. This is the same concept as the above
invention. It's just scaled down to a frame that can display
any of three prints with the push of a button.
Disposable picnic backpacks. They are plastic, strong enough
for a few days use, and come with the snacks and bottle water
already in them. Buy one for each of the kids before you hit
the hiking trail.
Chip dip tubes. No more messy bowls of stale, drying chip
dip with broken chips in it. Instead, you just apply the dip
from a toothpaste-like tube, directly onto the chip. You get
exactly the right amount, with less mess. They could be sold
in six packs, so everyone can have their own tube. Hmm... What
else can be put in tubes? What size should the tubes be? Here's
a concept ripe for some new invention ideas.
