A truth detector would be useful.

How about a feather duster that is really made out of recycled toilet paper? Think of the environmental advantages.

Where are the flying cars and robot maids the Jetson's promised us?



On a serious note, anti-gravity device would be nice, as well as the fusion reactor.

Indeed an anti-gravity devise would be great, but wouldn't you have to use some sort of gravitational force to keep you from floating away into space???

Well, the anti-grav device is actually a misnomer, it should be an anti-friction device. I figure it can be done with controled and directed electro-magnetic pulses, what I don't have figured out is how to shield the working electronics of such a device.

However, I figure the same propulsion would work great in the vacuum of space for moving ships once out of the earths gravity. I must admit, currently, it's all paper theory.

Maybe the neighbors dog wouldn't bark so much if he had a window.

What if you had a fusion reactor to power the magnets?

A new breed of magnets...?

Then we could engineer ships that really don't move at all, but instead make the universe move around them!

We shall call it...?

Oh, now you're talking about a dark matter device. We know that space can be bent, the sun's gravity well does an excellent job of demonstrating that. A dark matter device would actually cause a deep enough bend to either open a wormhole, or literally become a "warp" drive. However, I have no idea how you get ahold of dark matter, and even so, you need an anti-grav device to move it. slaphead

What if we take the antimatter produced with electro-magnets and expose them to a nuclear enriched fusion magnet???

I'm gonna call it, Polar Propulsion...?

Along the lines of a spell checker how about a typo checker oh wait that might be the same thinglaugh

Who checks the spell-checker for spelling mistakes? the ex-chequer?

How about a toe-nail clipper for people whose stomachs do not allow their hands to be nearer than a foot away from their feet? I envision a clipper that has long handles, in a right-angle formation to the cutting edge, and then finally I could buy again size 8 shoes, instead of the size 63 ones I wear now.

That really is a great idea! Sometimes, before I go to work I have to take deep breaths while tying my work boots. With the ever expanding waist size of the 'average' American, this is a very marketable product.

~ And just so yall know... I'm on the phone with the US Patent Office obtaining patents for all your ideas...

Rule #1.

- Never release any schematic detail about your invention!

HA!
