Modern laptops are very powerful but unfortunately they cool down not very effective by their own cooling system and we use stands that helps them. I have nice idea to improve laptop stands that cools laptops with built-in coolerst.

Old CD's can be put to a new use and turned into dumbbells, providing an incentive to workout while also reducing waste. The dumbbell kit will consist of a handle and two sets of dumbbell caps. The discs will slip onto a spool running through the center and attached to the handle, and the caps will close to keep them secure. Discs can be added up to a maximum weight of 5 pounds, including the 2.2 pound handle.

The idea is to develop a back panel reflector that will harnesses solar energy to power laptop screens. A mirror on the back panel pointed at the sun will be able to direct the sun's rays toward the screen to add natural light to the LED backlight.

The lockable thumb drive will require the user to set its combination rings correctly in order to access the device. Constructed of a solid aluminum alloy, the drive combination lock will consist of five rings displaying every letter in the alphabet. The password will be set by the user and will be simple to change. The manufacturer will reset the device in the case of forgotten codes.

The handheld printer will use a combination of inkjets, optics, and software to print images onto any flat surface. The printer will use laser sensors to track the device's movement, measuring its location and speed. The software will interpret the sensors' data and use algorithms to determine which spurt of ink to send next as the user waves the printer over the material. This will allow the printer to print on any size material, even material larger than the printer itself.

The self-sanitizing keyboard will use ultraviolet light to kill harmful micro-organisms in seconds. The keyboard will look and feel the same as a standard computer keyboard. To engage the cleaning cycle, the keyboard will protract into a light-tight enclosure which will bath it in the UV light. It can be retracted for use by the wave of hand over the motion sensor.

The idea is to develop a keyboard which keys will lay absolutely flat until activated. The keyboard is supposed to reduce the amount of errors usually made on virtual keyboards. The keys will lay flat during travel, and can be elevated by pressing a mechanical button. The actual mechanism that will raise the keys will be strong enough to support and raise the keys an even 2.2 mm.

I think it is about time to stop making our electronics in stiff plastic. We could make all the components fit in the right places and make our casings see-through and flexible for futuristic and multi-use and multi-purpose reasons. The main reason would simply be to be able to bend them in half to fit in a backpack.

Here is a quickie: asecond battery for laptops so one can switch main batteries without shutting down. Not very big, just one or two cells just enough for 3 to 5 minutes of power, with a condenser that you'd have to charge before I guess to get the proper voltage, probably be better for larger laptops the 17 inch ones.

The "OS Card" would be a independant operating system that is installed or flashed onto a PCI-E card for computers. A entire operating system such as Windows would come on one of these cards. Instead of booting and running your OS from your local hard drive, it would run most of the OS from the PCI-E card. The card would be read only, protecting vital system files from malware such as trojans or viruses. A small number of system files that would require read and write functions...
