I’d Like to See Them Make: Miscellaneous

10. Pickup truck campers, house trailers, motorhomes, mobile homes, and modular homes designed to be “self sufficient.” They could have wood heat/hot water, solar electric power, optional exersize machines that generate electricity to charge batteries, outside connectors for wind and/or water power generators, etc.

9. A reclining tricycle for adults. It has been shown that the reclining position is more efficient than the upright position when peddling a bicycle or tricycle. Two big advantages of a tricycle over a bicycle are that (1) it’s easy to get started in a comfortable reclining position, because there is no danger of it tipping over, and (2) a very high gear ratio is possible for ease in going up hills because there is no danger of tipping over due to the resultant very slow speed. The sitting arrangement in the tricycle should be very comfortable so that it would be “like sitting in Lazy Boy® chair!”

8. An exercise machine that generates electricity and pumps it into the electric grid through an ordinary electric cord and wall plug, thus reducing the monthly electric bill. It would have a computer controlled electromagnetic resistance instead of weights or springs. It would have an LCD readout which would indicate how much electrical energy is being produced, and how much is being saved on the electric bill. This would motivate people to exercise, because it would not only be good for them, but it would also provide them with more money as a bonus.

7. Recreational vehicles (RVs) are available which run on propane including a propane powered refrigerator, and some even include a propane powered electricity generator. So why not manufacture one which runs on something which can be obtained in the wilderness for free in unlimited quantities: wood? Perhaps a built-in “wood gas” generator would be the solution.

6. Strings of blue LED Christmas tree lights—not white LEDs shining through blue plastic, but actual blue LEDs.

5. A wood burning sauna stove which not only heats the sauna room, but also heats the entire house. It should also provide hot water for the entire house! It should even provide electricity for the entire house! Why not? There are power plants all over the country which are burning wood in order to power entire cities!

4. Magnetic screwdriver with exchangeable self-contained tips and 3 built-in white LEDs powered by 2 AAA batteries contained in the handle. The 3 LEDs would surround the shaft and would be focused to illuminate the tip and the area surrounding the tip.

3. A combination telescope and digital camera. It should have an LCD screen set up like a slide viewer so that it can be viewed easily and clearly, even in bright light. It should have two manual focus controls, one for focusing the telescope on the digital sensing unit, and the other for the LCD viewing lens so that a person who normally wears glasses could easily and clearly view the LCD screen without having to wear his or her glasses.

2. Stainless steel pots with glass covers, so you can see how your prep. is cooking without having to lift the lid.

1. Stainless steel bowls with tight fitting plastic covers, so you don’t have to cover them with plastic wrap before putting leftovers in the frig.
