Inventions you'll never follow through with

[elpmis]

Have you ever had a great idea for something, but would never follow through with trying to produce it because it's a royal pain in the ass? Or maybe it really isn't that great of an idea and deep down inside you know it.

Shawn Sexy Mayor McCheese David and I were having phone sex the other day, and after the phone sex we came up with an idea to mass produce grand pianos that have ivory cocks for the white keys and mini testicles for the black keys. Brilliant idea if you ask me, but it will never be produced cause we're too busy have constant phone sex

tell us some of your 'never quite got there' invention ideas!

An automatic toilet seat lifter. Step on a pedal to lift it. But i'm far too lazy.

I invented the internet about 6 months ago, but some mofo beat me to it. :mad:

The Japanese have these among a butt load of other toilet features (no pun intended :D)


I had an idea for an invention that it appears Miller is going to be putting out next year. I always thought it would be a good idea but never had any idea how to do it. What is it you ask? Why it's the self refridgerating beer can of course. Pefrect for those parties where all you can seem to find is warm beer. Check it out: http://www.tempratech.com/chill1.html

I mean, they can heat MREs why not the opposite for drinks?

Does my posting here show proof of prior art, if someone decides to take my idea?

A remote with light-up buttons so you can see it in the dark. That would kick ass.

wtf I have one of those, and you certainly didnt invent it as the buttons arent shaped like little penises.

[JPatrick]

On topic tho (gasp!)
Ive given thought to starting my own webcomic portal, but not link to any old comics, it would be geared towards the more bizzare, strange or just twisted types of comics. Kind of like the old-old-school heavy metal magazines. A place for like-minded freaks to gather, if you will.
But when would I ever have time to get something like that off the ground?
Never is when. As long as I have this whole "earning a living" thing to deal with.

Better would be a tv/remote combo where there is a damb pager button on the TV so when you push it the remote starts beeping so you can find it. I always lose that damn thing.

Edit: I noticed the first typo on the word damb but I thought it looked cool so I left it.

Great, I guess I'll have to explore the specialized penis button niche you spoke of now that the mass market cash cow has been stolen from me.

I have something that could be worth billions...still in the process of looking into it and seeing if I can get a patent

ya, me too. I'll never do it though.

you should start with a joystick.

but we've worked so hard on all the slogans :(

[April40]

fly has a bunch of good ideas.

[kiwi]

I've had the thoughts of a foot controlled page turner for music for quite a while. It's such a pain when you have to quickly turn the page while continuing to play something with your other hand so it doesn't sound like an awful pause.

[SemperFly]

yeah, three of them in fact.

One is a device that would help prevent knee injuries among construction workers, landscapers, and anyone that uses a shovel on a daily basis. Another is a three fingered mouse glove that relies on a set of tiny sensors that work with a base station to determine where the cursor should be. The former is fairly simple and I've designed most of it but I don't have the funds to patent and market it. The latter would require even more of an investment and a lot more R&D time.

The third one I'm keeping to myself because I don't have the experience to know if it's a viable idea or not. :o

My latest invention:
Solar Powered Portable Battery charging stations. Think wheelbarrow sized bank of batteries on a cart w/ one or two 2X2 solar panels. It would have a stand so you can point at the morning or afternoon sun. After a hurricane your could roll out a couple of these suckers and provide power for , well whatever devices that could make use of this slow trickle of electricity. They would charge the batteries during the day for providing night time power.

Pros: no fuel needs. quiet. cheap to run.

Cons: you'd probably need bunches of them to powere your AC or fridge. Not so good at night. weight of batteries.

I have a prototype for what I dub a "cold fusion reactor". Do you think it's worth anything, or should I just sell it on Ebay for twenty bucks?

garbage, just give it away

Are you referring to your refrigerator with the crudely crayon written "cowld fushun reakdtor" sign on it?

I came up with the idea of an MP3 player before there were MP3s.

Not so good at night.

Today Skye showed me an email from someone complaining that he couldn't access our website at night. I told him to reply that our website is solar powered.

No, THAT one I'm gonna work on. I really should have started when I bought the domain. =/

[fly]

why not?
I'm really, really lazy. And comfortable.

you can use any of my ideas, just pay me in dude-on-dude action :drool:

but the Ass2Ass Cargo Transfer is a revolutionary. You could prolly even make a video game controller out of it for the PS3

I could tell you, but I haven't taken the patent out on it yet, and I do plan to follow through on it.

I can tell you that it involves live media playback and manipulation for radio. Edit: and that it's an ingenious idea and I plan to start a business around it.

I had an idea for an invisibility suit back in middle school, and told a few people about it then

Basically clothing woven with tiny CCD cameras all over with equally tiny fibre optic displays interwoven displaying the image being seen on the opposite side of the clothing.

Not true invisibility of course, but would've been almost predator good.

Then I find out a few years back that FedGov researchers are working on the exact same device with success, pretty much to the letter of what I had come up with :(
