Have you ever invented* something original?

*Or thought, imagined, improvised, created or, jury-rigged:eek:?

I had mini tweezers on the end of the normal sized tweezer, talk about awkward.

See..., that's a really disturbing mental image right there.

Do you borrow you sister's tweezers?

And what's a "mini tweezers?" New invention of yours perhaps? If so, very on-topic!...Well done.

Yep. A soundproofed baby holder. Basically a box you put baby in to sleep/cry, but that box is in a box, and the space in between the two boxes (In the outer box but outside the inner box) is kept in vacumn. I have yet to make a prototype, but I imagine it would be soundproof.

Also some structure to get oxygen to the inner box might be necessary.

Rechargeable tv remote. Simply slot it into a cradle of some sort connected to the tv. Or be all posh and use kinetic energy by placing the remote on the tv stand.

in addition to above inventions, improvised and came up with lots of solos and some nice songs on my elec guitar, so yes :cool:

I invented lots of things that turned out to be virtually useless. The solar powered torch, waterproof teabags and a black highlighter pen being among the worst of them.

When I was four I made up this song that I'd sing to myself all the time. Heard it again ten years later.. Turns out the Rolling Stones got there before me.

The same thing happened to Robbie Williams when he wrote "Let Me Entertain You".

Turned out that the Stones had already used the chord sequence for "Sympathy for the Devil".

Didn't stop it being a hit single though.

Bipolar Joe

I thought I invented breakcore.

Mine was named i-rapple.ie,for example. or some other crap name for an exclusively-Irish website designed for buying/selling/trading Apple products.

I came up with a new idea in work, no other local business was doing it but within a year every other local business had started doing it too. I thought i had "invented" it (i use that loosly, as its not something physical), but turns out it had been done in other parts of ireland for years before, I was gutted.

I'm always inventing new ways to make my software crash. I surprise myself constantly with my inadvertent ingenuity.

That's fooking weird:)

I invented the reverse sweep ( which is a type of cricket shot for the uninitiated ) in 1977.

Got bollocked out of it by my coach on the basis that it " just wasn't cricket " and told never to use it again.

4 years later,there's Ian Botham flaking away at the Aussies using my shot.

Skis that come in two parts that you screw together, like a pool cue.

I'm currently in my laboratory working on a new food substance which I like to call Soylent Green. About 10 years to market, but it should solve many of the worlds food shortages.

Yes.

I've invented a bunch of crap. Some useful some not. tinkering is awesome. The important part is to have a critical mass of junk in the shed to pull parts off

Oh that is really too much info seany.:p

I'm the registered inventor (US and EU) of several 'things' in use across the globe.

I thought of a phone that has two sim slots. With the ability to switch back and fourth at the press of a button. Would come in handy if you've got free texts on the meteor sim and free calls on the vodafone sim etc. Or a great phone for business and personal use. All in one.

Problem is its already been done

Ah nuts

Would not using xbox kinetics/israeli army technology for remote control be better, recharging would be going to the fridge for beer and dialling for pizza.

cosmicfart

I have invented the a few things...

the Self rolling joint (DIY)

chocolate flavored condom (works best from behind)

Orgasm Day (previously known as Valentines Day)

The Micro'wave' (usually just using 3 fingers instead of using my whole hand)

bonzodog2

I once (when I was about 9 or 10) invented a safety compass (the kind you draw circles with, but without a long spike) for some competition in a kids comic. It was like a ruler with a pencil holder that could slide to get the appropriate radius, and a short spike to secure the circle's centre.

I didn't win the competition, and a year or two later I saw an identical one for sale.

I invented dice when I was a kid.

A "jump to conclusions mat". See, it's a mat with conclusions on it, right?

Years ago I had a 5-string electric bass, but I was never happy with the sound of the lowest string (the low . I had the idea of making an instrument with strings of different lengths: without going in to too much detail, the lower strings can be thinner and sound better when the "scale" is longer. I didn't have the time or woodworking skill to do anything about it.

These days I don't need to think about building my own: I just have to save my pennies and buy one of these.
