Invention ideas
Has anyone here ever had a great idea for an invention?
I once invented a time machine.
Many people thought it was just a large cardboard box, but if you sat in it for just 60 minutes you travelled an hour into the future.
Wasn't a best seller!
I'm currently working on a large cardboard box, oops...I mean a time machine that takes you back in time, but its a bit tricky, at the moment it only works at the end of British Summer Time!

- Store your entire music collection on a small handheld device
- Bought songs from instore booths in music stores where you dock the device, pay for your tracks and sync it.
- Could dock it to your hi-fi, car radio or headphones

The toilet roll Air freshener
The auto thickness Rolling pin
bothe these are now avaialble, I have no idea if these were available at the time. Even so, neither would have made me a millionaire, so I'm not that fussed
I had the idea of inventing a cheap but effective home computer with rubber keys, colours, sound and all in 1988 but then it turns out that some bald, spectacled, MENSA member by the name of Clive something or the other stole my ideas by using a large cardboard box to time travel into the future (from 1982) and siphoning of the superb schematic drawings stored on my computer under the folder "ZX Spectrum" under the sub-folder "Original Ideas". The cheat!

I got 1 dead cert of a brill Idea that I came up with lately, but I aint saying what it is..but if there is any backers out there with a few 100K, I'll go halfers.
Nobody paid attention to her, tho.
... ultimately landing on planet Earth only to become a cape-wearing weirdo with super powers.
Sounds like it's been done before ;-)
:-P
I once thought of painttrainers. They were trainers that released paint so you could see where you've been by your coloured footsteps.
Was done in the game Dungeon Master. Would a person then have to pay them royalties?
Every slow vehicle - you know the type, drives just fast enough that they are extremely hard to overtake, but slow enough to be annoying - usually caravans, has a radio receiver and an explosive charge.
Drivers following have a transmitter and an 'I'm annoyed by your slowness' button. When 10 following drivers have pressed their annoyance button, the caravan driver gets a warning, and must find a spot to pull over and let traffic pass within 5 minutes, for at least 1 minute. Failure to do so results in the caravan exploding.
But it'd only work if the caravans exploded sideways!?
(In a Peter Jones accent) I'm sorry, but I'm gonna have to say no!! :-P
It really irritates me when you're on a plane, and just after touch down, everyone starts getting up, getting their luggage together and so on, despite the seat belt lights still being on.
What do they expect to achieve by this? It's not going to make them get off the plane any quicker.
What they should have on planes are rotating blades, that are switched on as a plane comes into land. The blades will be at such a height, so that if a person stands up, they will be decapitated. That'll serve the tw@s right. :-P
i was on a train the other day, the train was nearing the station so i asked the guy to move. he made a right fuss of having to pack his crap up, then didn't even stand up, he moved his knees to the side so i had to squeeze passed, as soon i was clear the train was in the station and he got up anyway. the tit.
another amusing train story. i was traveling up to scotland, i was sat in an aisle seat making eyes at a young girl across from me, then suddenly a pram hit me in the side of the head. it belonged to the girls mother who also had a baby. it had fallen out of the luggage store. it was karma at work i tells ya.
I should still be ok then, I'm only 5'2"-5'3"!! :grin:
I invented them, but never got a functioning prototype made, a bottle top with a hole drilled in it, a pump, and copious quantities of bathroom sealant didn't cut it :(
I confess i watch a few of those, like a really crap Dragons den
Some people queue all day just to show a terrible invention off, embarassing most of them.
and some people dont even invent owt, they just draw a picture of it with felt tips, the mongs.
(i knew you'd watch the show paul ;) )
I must admit i used to watch a lot of reality tv shows but i've seen sense now and joined the rest of the population ! Just sick and tired of them now
Dont mind The Apprentice, wont ever watch Big Brother again. I dont mind Dragons den and the only other one i watch is 'Property Ladder' just because (i know its cruel) but to see some people think they can convert something into flats, fail miserably and then lose a lot of money. Come on admit it, we're all the same. You dont sit there thinking 'great' when someone bought an old house for 60k and sold it 5 months later for 400k. We want the bad ones ! ;)
Oh, and Ray Mears... What a guy!! :)
I'm not a mean person (honest) but for Dragons Den for example some of the 'yes' ones are interesting but i do tend to enjoy the idiots who come on with a terrible idea or want 5 million kinda thing. Its a bit like X Factor where i used to like seeing the idiots thinking they could sing but would turn off as soon as they were all 'perfect' singers.
Property Ladder is good when it goes wrong, i find that amusing but not that bothered seeing some yuppie turn a 500k house into a 2.5 mill kinda one.
Evil streak in me ! But its like The Apprentice, they have to keep a few idiots who argue etc for ratings for a few weeks.
