I can't even guess why I have never seen this next idea anywhere. I think it would be a great idea to install "wet nap" dispensers in all public restrooms right by the exit door. The design of it can vary from individually wrapped wet naps to a pop-up dispenser, similar to how a tissue box works. You can grab one on your way out and clean your hands off after you wrap your freshly washed hads around the germ ridden door handle. Or even use it to grab the door handle. Imagine the...

I wish to have a bank ATM card that can handle simultaneously all my bank accounts maintained with several banks. A single ATM card would be issued by one of my bankers and I would have the facility to register all my other bank accounts maintained with other banks, with that single ATM card. This would reduce the hassle of holding a bunch of ATM cards in your pocket and to memorize too many PINs. The same thing can be done with Credit Cards as well. This will also reduce the hassle...

Have you ever played in the sun with a magnifying glass? Even the smallest ones can burn wood, or set grass on fire. So, why can't we build a manifying glass array, point that sun heat towards a steam turbine and produce electricity? Steam turbines are readily available as are the generators they drive. The major engineering would be setting up the glass array and building a solar tracking system to keep it aligned at the correct angle to the sun.

This will not actually decrease your weight with our current understanding of the atom and electrons and such... but if it were possible to have powerful opposite magnets within the soles of our shoes, it would make walking a new sensation

This is a fairly simple idea for children at an age when they appreciate rattles. The toy would have two parts: a cyllindrically spiral track about a foot long and an inch or two wide; and a moving piece that is also cyllindrically spiral that would fit over the track and be able to slide along it, rotating as it does so. The moving piece would slide down the track through gravity. The track could then be inverted to get the piece to move again. Various color patterns and noise making...

The best tool of reproduction of the information is an alive cell. The cell is meant to be an ideal place of storage and rewriting of the information. All complex chemical and biological processes proceeding in a cell, are operated by spatial regulation processes. These processes are responsible for all future architecture of a cell, starting from formation of tertiary structure of fibers, up to an arrangement of all structural formations of a cell, bodies and a biological organism as...

If you're anything like me, you probably get frustrated when you're driving your car on to the interstate and, as you are about to get on, some idiot decides to slow down/speed up trying to keep you from getting on in front of him/her, causing you to run off the road and him/her going berserk and crashing into the concrete barrier inbetween traffic directions. The next thing you know the police arrive and they are trying to figure out who's at fault (and you know that it is all yours -...

The idea is to create a backpack mounted rainwater catchment systems that will be portable enough to harvest and clean rainwater, as the weather permits. The rainwater catchment and filtration system will be built using off the shelf components from a standard store. An expandable bag will collect and hold the water, while the built in filtration layers will render it clean enough to drink. It will be worn on the back or stand alone, and will also be used in conjunction with...

Do not over do it with the soap. 1/2 the measure is sufficient. If a stuffed animal has long or acryillic/ nylon type fur, air dry, do not put in the dryer. Do not use bleach, but you can add 1/2 up white vinegar in the wash water if they smell bad. Only use 1/2 measure of softener, or none at all. It is best to air dry most all of the toys you wash.
