This moves down a clump of hair using the motor and when it reaches the hair ends, it pulls itself up using the clump of hair like a rope (think of a mountain winch), and move to another location probably an inch away and starts going down the hair.

I have a hard time deciding when to order for LPG gas cylinders which is used for cooking since I can't know how much more remains. Since LPG containers are not going to be replaced with hi-fi stuff in the near future (the gas companies must be having millions of such containers), I was thinking it would be good to make a small gadget which can be placed at the stove end, just before the burner, which could measure the amount of LPG left indirectly by measuring the pressure of the gas in...
