It's not like I'll ever get rich for any of mine.

1. A manual or automatic light on dishwashers that says CLEAN or DIRTY to indicate whether the dishes inside are dirty or clean.

2. A vacuum on commercial deep fryers to suck the excess oil off those french fries after they're done frying.

Next?

    My ideal product are Pod Chair/Lounges with built in flip down monitors and speakers. That would just be the start. I would be rolling in the dough and have a blast designing them.

    I have a couple of patents and some research papers, mostly on economics and/or production scheduling. Pretty boring stuff, I just got extra bonus' for filing the papers for work already done. ($1K/filing- so spending 4 hours to document your work in lawyer speak seems worth it)

    Currently working on a project for the USN but that's about all I can tell you beyond it's going to be really cool.

    Powdered water......add one teaspoon to a cup of water and PRESTO!! You now have 1 gallon of water!

    Powdered beer......stir in two spoonfuls of mix into a glass and enjoy!

    Aerosol condiments such as mustard and ketchup!!!

    Variable geometry tires, they are adjustable on the fly for whatever driving situation happens.

    A device that supresses the obnoxiously loud bass coming from the car next to you at the stop light or while your stuck in traffic.

    More ideas to come soon....just like George Carlin said, " Im just slightly ahead of my time" !

    Seriously? My "big idea" is a partnership (and I'm involved with neither industry so I stand to make no money off of this) between hotels and mattress distributors / manufacturers. Here's the deal - mattresses are a pain in the **** to buy, because it's tough to test them. So you have a hotel, and it has blocks of rooms with different types of mattresses. You get to sleep on the mattress you're thinking about and see how it works for you. The mattress distributor could then have literature and ordering information available right in the room.

    The distributor wins because it's great advertising for their product. The hotel wins because they get free (or at least discounted) beds, not to mention the added business of people staying there just to try out mattresses. And the consumer wins because they get to try out their product fully before buying.

    Synergy.
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

    Senior American Idol - Not necessarily a singinging competition, more like a talent competition for senior citizens. Grand price would a cash price of $250,000, which should be more than enough to retire on. I can picture sponsors like Depends, insurance companies, Buick, etc.

    Busted parking meter plastic bags - Haven't you ever have to tie a plastic bag over a parking meter that's busted? Same idea, except it has "Broken Parking Meter" printed on the outside. Sure, there are parking meters that now indicates they are broken, but not all parking meter are like that. Maybe $2.50 for a pack of 10? Just put them in your trunk and use as needed.

    Non-unionize government jobs - Typing this as a government employee myself, I see sooooo much waste around here. One reason is that one can never get fired from these jobs, short of committing some kind of serious crime (and then the president may even let you off the hook). Therefore, make government employees perform for their pay.....raises will be based on performance and non-performers will be fired. Just like in the private sector....what a concept!

    Everything you have posted in this thread is already out there.

    It seems you have a knack for watching late night TV and then regurgitating the "inventions" you see on the infomercials.

    BTW, my dishwasher that is 9 years old has the light you speak of.

    Ron Popeil had a deep fryer with a blower and drip tray on it to do just what you think your vacuum idea should do.

    I saw the infomercial for the razor blade sharpener watching Wind Tunnel with Dave Despain on Speed TV the other night.

    And hardened steel razor blades won't work because the steel's carbon content is not high enough to hold a decent edge and even if you could get hardened steel to survive the sharpening process and you got a razor edge on it hardened steel is too brittle, the edge would break and dull in the first contact with a human hair which is, actually, quite hard.

    Thanks for that info, BlueMDPicker.

    I had to go into "User CP" to see why .... uhm .... why certain things were occurring.

    I see that
