Ideas for inventions

[one...two...tree 2,762]

I had an idea for an invention last night, but have since forgotten what it was.

Anyone ever think of crazy ideas for inventions?

Maybe it was something to help with memory loss.

I'm a mechanical engineer. I think most of us get into the profession because of our love of coming up with silly ideas. Now I'm just qualified to see them through.

Well actually since you brought it up. When I was 16 (1992) I wanted my lip gloss to be shimmery. So I went to the drug store and bought a tube of clear lip gloss and then went to a craft store and bought a small tube of very fine irridecent glitter. I poured some of the glitter in my lipgloss and wham, shimmery lipgloss! I got so many compliments on it. Then 3 years later, glittery lipgloss was everywhere I looked. I could have been a millionaire.

I worked at a hardware store until I was 18. I used to "invent" lots of things.

I made one guy a water jet for cleaning his gutters without climbing up on the roof. I was like 16 at the time and the guy wanted me to start a business with him. He was quite impressed.

Ooh, I also designed and built an 8 horsepower direct current outboard motor.

When I was a kid I used to like to read in bed after lights out - I envisioned a light that I could attach to a book with a clip so I wouldn't have to put the bedside lamp under the covers to read . . . of course, a few years later they came out with the booklight - exactly as I had envisioned it!

I remember those were popular a few years ago but I haven't seen them around much anymore.

Not so much inventions as songs. I always walk around trying to figure out a 3 line song that will make me millions like FELIZ NAVIDAD.

But a trolling motor that can put a 12 foot boat on a plane. The thrust capabilities are on a different scale.

i'm not understanding this. i'm confused as to if it was for use in water or as a winch.

It was used in the water, like a normal outboard motor, only DC. It was part of a solar-powered boat that we built for a competition.
