Crazy invention ideas?

Asked by JONESGH (3554points) September 29th, 2009

My high school spanish 5 class is required to present a project in which we come up with a crazy invention and try to sell it in a commercial. The spanish isn’t a problem for me but I just cannot come up with an invention! Anyone have any ideas? Anything goes pretty much. For example one person in our class invented shoes that have heaters in them…that can also cook food. Thanks!

A machine that would sort laundry into lights and dark. Like a little claw that would pick up from the dirty basket, take a picture, computer would analyze it and drop it in the proper basket.

Make it a game! Find two things in your room (randomly makes it more fun, close your eyes and point.) Your invention has to be a hybrid of these two things.

My examples:

Computer-mug! (Potentially slightly dangerous. May have to be waterproof.)

Lamp-chair! (Ok, that could work, like, for reals.)

Camera-shoe! (Sneaky.)

Cat-external hard drive! (Ok… maybe I’ve gone too far. First of all, it would involve surgery… second of all, keeping a cat still long enough to load your photos would be very difficult.)

Google “chindogu.” This literally is the Japanese art of useless invention.

I know this response most likely came to late for your project, but how about device able to temporarily store the amount of magnetic field going through the device. Another name for this would be a magnetic flux capacitor, or just simply a flux capacitor.
