When you play golf, it can become tiresome to bend over 18 times a game to retrieve your golf ball from the cup. Here is my idea: The cup could have a small air cartridge inside that is activated by a small hand held device the players have and could only be triggered from a five foot radius. The air cartridge would only have sufficient air to launch the golf ball three feet into the air and then the golfer then can retrieve his/her golf ball from midair instead of bending over 18 times a...

What if there was a cell phone company that you could have your phone customized through. I don't mean the plan, but the actual Device itself. They have computer companies that have customizable computers where they put in what you want or need to have a good computer. Why couldn't they do it with cell phones. For instance, I want a Blackberry that looks like an LG Rumor 2. It would need a keypad and the slide out qwerty keyboard. All while still having the trackball. You could ask them...

I like to put blonde streaks in my hair, rather than pay alot to sit in a salon. However, sometimes I get carried away with the blonde ending up in the odd large patch instead of scattered and "sun-kissed". On occassion I have actually used a permanent marker in brown to feather the streaks. Alas, the next time I wash my hair, the brown marker washes out. To go to the trouble of making up a dye preparation with all of the mess and fuss, is so annoying, so I want someone to put the dye in a...

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...

I am a big time deer hunter and i have lost arrows time and time again, but now i have found the perfect way to retrieve your arrow by placing a tracking device in the knock of the arrow and you can take the tracking device monitor which should be AA battery-powered, lightweight and portable.

This is a concentrator to concentrate the sun's energy to a point for cooking food or focusing it on a small solar battery recharger. I got the idea for this from Cool Earth's solar concentrators (see http://www.coolearthsolar.com/technology). In addition to saving energy, reducing pollution and speeding up the recharging of batteries (especially on cloudy days), food cooked in these concentrators would form fewer, if any, carcinogenic compounds during cooking compared to food cooked on a...

The Spring-loaded Sling Bed would be an alternative to a foam or spring mattress. Different versions of the bed would be made to either rest on top of a platform bed (preferably one with an open bottom) or to replace the side rails of a bed. It is inspired by hammocks and the use of side rods as in the kanoe baby hammock (kanoe.us) and the "air chair". I am not an engineer. There are some specifics of the design that I have left to someone with engineering skills. That said, I think...

I am wondering if there is a debit / credit card with a stamp on it. If user press the stamp he is able to view his account balance in that card itself. This will be really helpful while swiping the card during shopping...

A card which enables you to forget the calssic paper receipt but a card that can have your purchase information inserted onto it by being scanned.. the information can be accessed via your account with your password and username which can allow you to send a receipt to someone for instance if you give someone a gift and need to return it email them the receipt and print it off. This will help with the problem with losing receipts.

Imagine a sort of diet checker, in which you would enter information about what you've eaten today (which might need to be quite precise, especially concerning quantity) as well as info on your age, weight and build, and in return you get precise nutritional information such as: - scales of the recommended daily intake of necessary nutrients, which show whether you've eaten enough or too much of each nutrient; - Advice on where you can find the nutrients you're missing out on, and which...
