This product uses simple projection spring methods to shoot a disk. The Arm Blaster covers the arm from the wrist to the elbow. At both points there is rubber for bendability. The device is made from plastic and rubber so it is cheap. It could be used for two different causes; one, a toy for kids using foam disks, two, a spy gadget, the disks being metal and having a strong rope attached for retrevial and hanging from ceilings, with a small motor to pull the user up. The second purpose...

I get so sick of having to keep up with all receipts. And hearing my mom fuss about not being able to find a receipt in the huge barrel she has of them. And let's face it she is the queen of returns but they won't even hardly exchange things anymore without a receipt. Even if you do find the one you are looking for it is likely not even readable because of the fading ink. So why not have some kind of card or chip that can store receipts on it. Like one card maybe a credit card type that a...

My son is in fifth grade. He is dyslexic. It takes him at least 3 times longer to read materials than other children his age. He usually does not comprehend what he reads. However, he is very smart. If someone reads to him, he understands very well and is able to answer any question asked him about the material. I have to read everything to him in the afternoons and evenings to prepare him to go to school the next day and be able to pass. He is very self conscious and hates to be made fun...

A while ago I was relaxing in a whirlpool and, while massaging my mussels and joints, I wondered what key components might be used in constructing a portable/wearable device that could simulate the same feeling as a jet stream. My list if items consisted of: - small & durable motor w/ vibration and voltage control (smooth dimmer style preferred) with a single steel rotating shaft. - battery and solar back up with plug-in adapter. - heat control unit wired into the motor. - One...

My idea is to make a garden tool that looks exactly like a lawn roller, with numerous spikes protruding from the roller to gather the leaves. This equipment would have a horizontal flat bar fixed across the roller frame to knock off the leaves {as the roller turned} into a collecting box or basket, which would also be secured to the framework. The basket should be easily removable to deposit the leaves in the usual place . All parts would be manufactured from plastic materials [pliable or...

If you're like me, you won't have any time for annoying flies buzzing around. I hate spraying them, because there are plenty more where the others came from, not to mention more poisons to ingest, as well as dead flies everywhere. I came up with the idea of a cleaning spray such as "spray and wipe", or similar that contains some herbal extract or subtle aroma that is pleasant to us, but horrible to flies. Basically a repellent so that as soon as the flies fly in, they fly right back out...

Imagine a ring that could extremely accurately measure a persons stress, and display it by changing colors (Black= super stressed, green= moderately stressed, blue= no stress). Now, when a friend is stressed out, you know to tread carefully before they blow up and when your friend has no stress you can smack some jokes around. Now wouldn't that be something!

The idea is to create an audio/video podcast/u-tube video for free download that will give people an idea of places to see, where to eat and where to shop for what, when they visit a City they have never visited before. These could include driving directions that can be downloaded into your mobile GPS devices like Garmin/Magellan. The material could also be hosted on a web site with an option to download and print redeemable discount coupons for local businesses in each city. These...

I am not an engineer but it seems to me that a light car should be able to be propelled for short trips by human power. I suggest a bicycle drive connected to a hydraulic pump that in turn feeds an orbit motor or perhaps directly to an automatic transmission. I suggest hydraulic power rather than mechanical drive because a relatively small hydraulic pump can produce tremendous pressure. Heat from the oil flow could be cooled through the existing oil cooler or directed to an interior heater...
