In India and other developing countries, there is lot of fraud in petrol stations. All the existing fuel meters do not give how much is filled in the tank by the station person. My thought is to come up with a digital fuel meter which says what is the current level in the tank and after filling the fuel, what is the new level, and also a difference to indicate the amount of fuel dispensed. This is a great value addition to all the owners and thus reducing the fraud.

We had a phone talker that called from different pay phones and harass the women at home. It will be nice to have a landline phone receiver has these: 1. Need a button on the phone that will playback a recorded male voice of "Hello". (The stalker hangs up once he hears a male voice) 2. The phone should have a list of safe numbers that can be filled by the user. Any called from an 'unknown' number should play a unique ring tone. The caller should also be made to say his name...

My idea is a type of power line that is wrapped in flexible solar panels to generate power with converters at each telephone pole. This eleminates the need for electric power plants and provides clean energy for all! Flexible solar panels are lightweight enough to be fashioned and used in a wire shaped form roughly 2 inches in diameter.

I want someone to come up with a trackball with non-slippery surfaces, or a jacket or spray-on deal to make the surfaces non-slippery. i do graphics and layout with a trackball on the left and a graphics tablet on the left and have become fully ambidextrous from doing so. Every trackball i've ever used has been slippery (just like the daggone cell phones i've complained about elsewhere) and it would be great if that could be fixed so i don't lose time getting my hand or digits back where...

Every cell phone i've ever put my hand on has been slippery, therefore prone to sliding off of things it is set upon at the least provocation, slipping out of pockets, purses and even your hands. What i'd really like is for the manufacturers to add even just the slightest bit of unslippery factor to the outer surface. Barring that, I'd like somebody to invent a skin or spray-on that will cure the problem. My cell phone is an important tool that i use frequently and i want to be able to...

Cats use litter boxes to do their business, and all animals are attracted to do certain business on different pads designed to fool them to do so by scent. If you have a cat then you already know it will use the litter box, but puke anywhere and only cough up a hair ball on the carpet, where it is comfortable for them and smells strongest, like the comfort of the indoors at home. If we scent a (Wee-Wee Pad type) pad, where the cats are feeling attracted to expel the hair balls and place...

In the spirit of thinking green, I have been thinking of an invention to reuse vehicle emissions. As you can tell from the title, this invention implements a vehicle's tire along with the emissions. Lets start at the end, the tailpipe would be capped with a tube/hose to collect the toxic fumes via a pump to extract the gases which would be collected in some type of container. The container would have to have a one-way entry valve so the gases can't escape. At the same time, a pressure...

A universal pedal attached to your toilet. You step and hold to keep the seat up, do your business, take your foot off the pedal, and the seat lowers. Look ma - no hands!Obviously this invention is for men. This has 2 benefits: not having to touch the seat, and it makes it impossible to forget to lower the seat when you're done.

Basically, society is getting more obese. My idea is if you put exercise bikes in restaurants and the work place. People could be using these and do two things. 1. They will be burning the fats they eat. 2. They could help power the restaurant. If people are burning what they eat they can get fat. We are running out of fossil fuels and whilst the people are peddling away they will be burning fat and be powering the restaurant. If you have seen back to the future 2 then it is in one...

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...
