    A geographical oddity
    I was thinking about how some of the items that we use every day are so simple. Things that we look at or use and think to ourselves "why didn't I think of that? I would've been rich!" So I started thinking of things that I could invent that hadn't been invented yet. So I finally came up with a great idea....a tactical light mounting rail to go on your flashlight! So now I need to come up with the design and a couple bucks to throw it together. Just think...a rail-mounted flashlight for your flashlight. And if you were distressed in the time of use and pulled it out upside down it would still work, it'd just be a flashlight for your rail-mounted flashlight!! How tacticool! How has nobody thought of this yet? Billion dollars, here I come! :):

    A way to make the brady campaign cease to exist, or a a gun with bullets that lock onto targets when you put your sights on it you can never miss.

    Feel free to shoot over a sketch and I'll have my design team put together some CADs for you, we can even get a rapid prototype made for you! ;) I'll be sure to remember to give you our INGO discount!

    Ok Scutter... try this one....

    Imagine an electric golf cart, with alternators on the wheel hubs. These alternators (in theory) would spin, and charge the golf cart battery as it was driving. Therefore, a person would never have to charge the golf cart battery :dunno: Can it be done???



    OR.....

    How bout this for camoflauge. Say you take a vehicle, and make the body of it out of the same thing they make flat screen televisions out of. On each side is a small camera pointing outward. So the side of the vehicle would portray the image that the opposite side camera is taking. Therefore making the vehicle seem transparent. Yes, it has some kinks to work out, but I think i'm on to something.... ;)

    Only if you ignore the first law of thermodynamics. The system would have to return 100% of the energy expended to be self-charging. In other words, it would be a perpetual motion machine. It's already done with hybrid cars to recover some of the energy expended by braking, but you still have to either charge the battery off of the electrical grid or use a gasoline engine.
