What yet-to-be-made invention do you want?

Asked by ponderinarf (204points) March 15th, 2009

In fifth grade I concocted the PHchanger. It was a make-believe automatic phone translator. I envisioned a device where I could speak in Chinese and it would turn into English. And the other way around and so forth. What fun inventions have you thought of?

A suit you could put your cat in, and attach the vacuum to, so you could remove the cat dander.

This sounds silly, but I want a grid thing that you can sit down on a cake in a 9 X 13 pan & mark the top so the pieces are all uniform in size. I’m not good at cutting straight. They have them for pies. Why not cakes? I’ve been after my husband to make me one, but you know how husbands are!

@lynneblundell I was scheduled about 2 years ago to go in & my ins. co. informed me that they wouldn’t pay for it since it was just for a check up thing. I don’t have $3000+ to pay for it out of pocket, so since I’m not having any symptoms, I’ll just let it go for now.

I wish I could invent contacts or some kind of googles that would magnify my sight enough to view photon particales, or atoms. We could learn alot with technology like that.

I have another invention. Treadmills, weightbenches, and any other type of workout equipment that will generate electrical current through the means of chokes and electros of some kind. You could power lights in a strip mall(not saying there wouldn’t be a primary source of electricity), or just generate enough power to run small appliances through out a neighborhood. When they stop working out, or the gym closes, main power source would be restored. I think people would save money and it is efficient. I haven’t put that much thought into it, just something that popped in my head.
