A 2' level with a stud finder in the top/bottom center (built in) and at the opposite end would be the electrical tester that slides out of the level. I have built and installed cabinets for a long time and it would be very handy to have on an install or just to have around the home.

I have a hot water heating system. The furnace heats the water in the small expansion tank, which goes thru pipes along the baseboards to heat the rooms. This same system also supplies the hot water to showers and sinks. In the cold of winter, average burning about 6 gals of oil per day to take care of these needs, and with ever increasing cost of oil, this gets expensive. My idea is that like one of these small electric immersion things that can put in a cup of water to heat it up. Could...

My idea is a mini version of scissors-lift work platforms that construction and maintenance people use to work up high. The difference is that it of fixed height. It could be about 3 feet by 2.5 feet by about 2 feet high with 2 integrated steps to get up to working height which by the way should have a guard rail at least on three sides. Of course it is on wheels to make it easy to move but the wheels must be easily locked for safety. Collapsibility for storage would be an asset. Great for...

Have an entire wall or room look three-dimensional with Magic Eye wallpaper or murals. Either see designs, shapes, colors, objects, people or what ever. A whole theme or just the same thing over and over again like in the books. How about seeing a seven foot unicorn in 3-D on your wall. Or one of a child's dreams like Pooh Bear just before sleep. Really could help them relax. Most people can see them naturally or can see them with very little training. Personally I thought it was amazing...

We are fond of flies, cockroaches and other insects which keep distrubing in life. I have an idea for it - we have seen electric flies control all around which is connected to electricity when connected it will burn of. The idea is to have laser sensors at the entrance of the house or restraurant which are not harmful to humans. So by putting it in the entrance when the laser hits the insects, it dies. So easy measure to control pests and insects.

This is yet another search solution for things you may lose within you own four walls - but with a new twist. Remember those key pendandts that made sound when you whistle? Something like that for finding small objects like phone or remotes. There would be one base unit (appliance). You could change frequency on it (135, 136,137 ...) with simple + - buttons. When click on send it would transmit that frequency in small area. Enough for house or flat. Each small object would come...

Since the ground temperature remains between 50-55 degrees F year round we could use nature to cool and heat our houses and businesses. Transfering the heat from the attic through the foundation walls in the basement into the ground in the summer time. Probably could use the fact that heat rises to create a ventilation system that is naturally powered too instead of using an electric fan. Then in the winter, using the difference in temperature between the frost layer and the 50 degree...

Building a house in the desert with very little material. Basically instead of building the house, dig it up. Add on some self tainting glass roof to benefit from all the sun light, a couple of solar panels in the 'underground' garden, which is obviously at the same level as your house (i.e. underground) and some system to recycle water for a month or so, while waiting for the next delivery by truck. Would be great in Algeria where there is over 2 million squares kilometers of desert...
