To transform your life for the better - what would that invention be. BTW - in this scenario you have every single possible tool, component and energy source at your disposal to create your invention. So let your imagination run wherever it will !

I already have. Next time you have a headcold look for menthol chewing gum, one brand is called 'Airwaves'. I had the idea about fifteen years ago and sold it to a manufacturer.

My idea would be for a home 'still' that you put your rubbish into, and it makes bio-diesel. I could then use the fuel for my car!!

I have always wanted to invent a machine - in my head it looks a bit like a tazer - that when you aim it at someone, it makes their brain see how other people see them. I'd call it a RAD, or "Rude Awakening Device."

A bit too sci fi for reality, but it would be cool if you could make something like that.

I want to invent (or discover, rather) a form of renewable energy that works very well.

The one thing I have wanted since as long as I can remember... A way to travel through time.

I've wanted to be a time traveller since 1886.

I really like that - and if the name is already taken in the Patent Attorney's office you can always call it Karma-Atcha.

Yep. I think it was King Solomon (wisest man in the land) who said - there's nothng new under the sun. I mean eventually all the inventions will be invented and all the ideas used up. It's the law. Check it out - I once had this brilliant idea for Scotch Brite gloves - I figured what could be a better idea for anyone who wanted to do some heavy duty scrubbing but without dirtying their hands. Never did anything about getting a patent - and sure enough about 2 years later someone else did! I think it's really how BADLY you want to do something and then doing it - that makes the diff between who gets there first....

I hope they cme up with that soon...

But until then I have a suggestion....Put a bowl of water in the microwave and nuke it until it steams(a few minutes),the steam will help loosen the gunk and it wipes off easier.The go buy yourself a cheap plate cover and never microwave without it(They are usually only a few bucks here at the dollar stores.


I would like to make a machine that "translates" peoples dreams into movies they can watch when they are awake.(imagine how many of these you would find on UTUBE).I think our dreams have something to teach us but it's a bit hard if you cant remember them.....I aso think they maybe a time deminssional/time travel device that lets us access other demissions...but you cant always remember them....very frustrating.

I'd love to create an immortal, artificial body made of some kind of liquid that is able to change its density and shape - like bodies of Cessily Kincaid from the X-men or T-1000 and T-X from the Terminator movies. I'd love to have my brain transplanted into such a body.

A robotic/cyborg girlfriend that could cope with my AS traits. All her exterior would look like real human tissues thought.

I want to start a huge depression clinic, preferably in an Aspie commune. :D
