I am currently enrolled in a course where we have to come up with new inventions or improvements that haven't been patented yet. Was wondering if any of you guys have come across anything that I may want to research or other ideas that could be helpful. Or perhaps problems you encounter (no matter how small) that could be changed a bit to make them easier.
One idea I had was a trying to figure a way to keep a cow from choking herself when you get her in a chute by her getting down on her knees (happens alot when im helping my grandpa and he had actually mentioned it this december before i was in the class).
1. I have some ideas for cell phone users such as advertisements sent to cell phones while shopping that could offer discounts, mall gps in the phone (i know i get lost if i ever go into one)
2. a canvas over the bike racks here on campus. So any ideas or thoughts to speculate over would be greatly appreciated.
3.The Bumper Dumper- A portable seat that could hook to the bumper of a truck and support at least 250 lbs. You dig a whole, hook up your "Bumper Dumper" and take care of nature while in nature if you are a big hunter or such.
4. Installing an "outlet" on the end corner of pick-ups that a small utility poll could be applied to as a way to provide light into the back of a truck. Pole would also have outlets for 120v plug, 12volt DC, and cigarette lighter, so that you could plug in almost any device used by outdoorsment/hunters. This addresses the problem that they can neverget enough light in the back of the truck of a simple/quick way to plug in equipment they need.
5."Foldable" Attic Flooring- Attic space in many city homes is unused and is therefore alot of lost space. Using plywood can be difficult to install for one person and it can be clumbsy and greater change of damage to ventillation in the attic and attic floor/ceiling of the house. I was thinking of developing flooring that could fold over its self with hinges (like an accordian). It woudl be easy to get into the attack and then you could unfold it so that the hinges brace any weight put onto it.
A disclaimer to avoid hurt feelings is any ideas posted I may expand on and I could end up turning in. So I'd prefer things to think about improving rather than your actual improvments. It would also just be interesting to see the conversation that could develop and any critisicm on my ideas.
