forget plausibility… just let your imagination fly
Here are a couple of my imagined inventions:
#1: High Definition DVR for recording sleep dreams. I hate when I can’t remember a whole dream, or even worse, I remember everything clearly except for the face of the hot babe I was dreaming about.
#2: The garbage can that never needs emptying: Open the lid, toss trash in, it disappears into a “wormhole”… garbage go bye bye
#3: Laser lawnmower: I imagine a gizmo about the size of a can of shaving cream. You set it down in the center of the yard and program in the cutting height. Then it automatically detects the boundaries, and then cuts the lawn in a single 360 deg. sweeping motion, withought going beyond the boundaries. The beam would also follow parallel to all ground contours.
How timely. I was just discussing my invention that I have no idea how to invent with the woman who was violently tearing my hair out by the roots. In other words, I was having my legs waxed.
It would be a hair removal system based on ordinary electrolysis, but using tiny robots. Microbots? There would be a paddle-shaped device about the size of a hand that would be laid on the skin. Within the paddle would be dozens of microbots. Each microbot would be a hair-seeking electrolysis machine.
So the operator would lay the paddle on the skin, and pull the trigger. The microbots would run around the area within the paddle looking for hair follicles and zapping whatever they find. When there was no more hair to zap, they would return “home” and signal the operator that they were done. The operator would then move the paddle to a new area, and pull the trigger again.
Electrolysis is a safe and effective method of hair removal, but it is costly because it’s time consuming. The technician has to find each hair and zap it individually. My invention would make it a whole lot faster, and therefore a whole lot cheaper. The increased cost of the equipment would be more than offset by the increase in people seeking the treatment.
Okay, that was just nasty!
What I would like to invent is an expandable baton/flashlight/pepper spray combo.
It sure would take up less room on my duty belt.
Nope, nope, nope. I have had some dreams that I don’t want there to be any chance of any other person ever knows I dreamt that, and I certainly want to maintain plausible denaibility if ever asked.
I want a shower that works like a stationary car-wash. I just want to stand there while it floods with water, drains, soaps me up, scrubs me down, floods with water again, drains, then drys me off with heat lamps and blow dryers.
My dream is to own a car with extendable robot arms capable of lifting up the car driving five under the limit in front of me, and gently placing it back on the roadway behind me.
If that can’t be managed, then we can loosen up the definition of “gently”.
I recall seeing a documentary once, where they had a locomotive that did exactly this same thing, in manner of speaking. The loco’ had a railed ramp that went over each end and connected to the rails below. It was pretty cool.
Okay, that was just nasty!
