A shower unit that also sucks jacks blows dries you off. An additional setting where hot air comes out of the hose rather than water. I reckon it could be decent enough.

The shower could be a full size version of those really cool hand-dryers they have in pub toilets.

I just want to be so rich I can have a safe of phones in my house, so if I lose my phone, I can go to the safe and get more.

Now I need to invent something to be that rich... dammit

Pedant

A device that warned you that you were about to put petrol into a diesel engine car, or vice-versa. If you were pouring, say, petrol into a diesel engine car, the car would automatically know it was petrol (through a method I have yet to figure out) and then the car would automatically close a valve to the fuel tank.

They have that. It's called colour coding.
Green for petrol, black for diesel.

Next.

No, the device that I came up with is for stupid people. Lots of people mix the two up all the time. Also, think about if you were in a foreign country and didn't understand the language on the pumps.

Well ye can't really put diesel in a petrol, nozzle sizes are different.

No, they don't. You must be hanging out in petrol stations for the blind or something.

Anyway, diesel is just 'diesel' in most other languages. And for this reason I'm out.

I can see someone on Dragons Den soon with one of these ideas....Then the fun will start!;)



Heads to the drawing board...

gasoil / gazole / gasolio / gas-oil / Gasoleo

or use the one that isn't labelled

Essence / Benzin / Bleifrei / Gasolina / Bensin / Blyfri


clues like black pumps (usually diesel), numbers such as 95 0r 98 (petrol octane ratings) should provide a clue.

If in doubt, ask or even sniff


there is no point trying to totally idiot proof things, all you end up doing is breed better idiots

Otherwise get an RFID tag and a reader.

A flying car. It would look like a regular car and you could drive it on the road but you could also take off and fly it anytime you want.

OK, I'll bite. I get the heavy water, but why collect it in a Lidl sparkling water bottle?

That way nobody would take any notice of it. You don't want some fancy metal container in a locked briefcase. This way when you have a couple of them full just horse them onto the back seat, bring over to sellafield or some place and walk out with 500,000e or more

No, they'd be low power enough not to cause any damage and just powerful enough and precise enough to just remove all layers of clothes.

You could run an advert, horny bloke goes on holiday in Thailand and enters a keep fit class full of hot chicks, whips out his glasses to put them on and starts screaming uncontrollably. Camera pans downward to show a load of floppy langers bouncing around between the chicks' leg with a condecending voice saying "should've gone to specsavers".
Would make a mint...

have you any idea of the fuel consumption of aircraft ?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robinson_R44
it's got an 8.8L engine €1,683 in motor tax
tank is 116 L so nearly €200 a fill (also has a 70L reserve tank)


other problem is safety 89 deaths out of 5,300 sold
very roughly 1% chance of being in a serious accident per year.

Why? Why would you go out of your way to shatter somebody's dream like that. With all your disgusting research and links?

A machine that could make my cheese sandwiches exactly the way I make them, and then toast them exactly the way our sandwich toaster does. This would definitely make a fortune, mainly because I would buy every single one made, I'd need two for every room and a spare per room, and then a few portable ones...:)

I'd prefer edible sleep.

Also the ability to store excess sleep in a plastic bag in powder form. When you need the sleep just mix some with milk as with that 'Complan' stuff, drink it down and feel like you just got out of bed ready for a hard day's work

1. Tape measure that doesn't "crack/snap/bend" when it's extended. The fun that could be had....
2. A bath with curved ends so you can slosh the water around all you like.
3. A 3D CAD modelling add-on for Solidworks where you could just "describe" the part and it would make it.

Anyone else have ideas?
