In most of my clothes and luggage that have zippers, the zipper is the first component to fail. There is need for zipper design improvement. The zipper is a mature product. Design improvement may be...
Design improvement. Around the large end of the funnel, provide screw threads for an optional add-on attachment. The attachment is a hollow cylindrical tube with slots cut around the side, vaguely...
Pilot relief valve for vehicles stuck in traffic. Adapt aspects of Air Force design. Wikipedia article does not convey nuance.
I assume you mean lost sympathy, not lost intellectually. Any further posts will have clear immediate application.
Prince Rupert's drops have the shape of raindrops. These days they are made by heating the end of a soft glass rod with a Bunsen burner. When the glass melts, it is allowed to drop into a bucket of...
My mother was hard of hearing. She spent $200 each ear for hearing aids. Then she spent $600 each ear for better model hearing aids. 1985 dollars. I suggested using ordinary plastic kitchen funnels...
This is a product that I have wanted for over 25 years, but never seen in stores. It is an ant-proof pet food bowl for use outdoors. Visualize a bowl on top of a saucer. The bowl contains pet food....
I still am trying, with yet another idea. If you object, please make it substantive like 3D OZ's objection above, not merely abusive about what I have been smoking. OK, on to the idea. It is a...
Update on new technologies, thanks to my friend Nick.
http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/mandelbulber.html Mandelbulber is open source software for visual rendering of 3D fractals. The 2nd image...
At the time that we all posted, we were unaware of this new design. I wanted experimentation, possible improvement. I thought 3D printing a promising vehicle for experimentation. If improvement...
Interesting and simple design. The legal disclaimer seems disingenuous. I think that the designer thinks he has a workable product. 3D printing was essential to the design, but appears unnecessary if...
At present we lack fabrication methods for arbitrary electromechanical devices in thr 1/100 inch to 1/1000 inch size range, that are made of components 1 to 2 orders of magnitude smaller.
These...
Make many copies of the same widget, select the most accurate one. Statistics work in your favor. There are microscopes that can resolve very small images, to help in selection. The microscopes are...
This is a completely separate idea that I got from a science fiction story when I was young, seemingly 2 centuries ago. Ever-shrinking machine shops. Use a conventional machine shop to build a...
I lack the requisite skills. I am old and retired and in poor health. I am in no condition to develop this myself. That is why I started this thread: to divorce having an idea from developing the...
Typo: "nreak" should be "break".
Education is a big part of the solution. Witness resistance to Ebola safety measures.
Overpopulation caused in part by lack of education caused in part by poverty caused in part by high cost of...
I certainly am no expert on the subject. 3D printing allows easy experimentation on improvements to the old Lippes loop design that no longer has FDA approval. No guarantee of success, but worth...
Not for money. Because it is the right thing to do. A little effort could have a major effect on overpopulation, by making contraception conveniently available and affordable to a large part of the...
There are no fundamental or basic causes for anything. For any cause, you always can ask why, and produce one or more reasons that caused the cause. Overpopulation is one of the causes for global...
Someone should team up with MDs to design parameterized IUDs. From first exam to customized device to insertion in 1 day. Material cost under $1.00. Most of the world's problems are traceable to...
