A National Pocket Radiation Detection System
There is an elegantly simple deterrent to national radiation threats such as nuclear and dirty bombs. All it requires is that all credit card companies print their cards on back of radiation like badges.
Given the continual improvement in gas appliance efficiencies, it is surprising that commonly available tea kettles have efficiencies as low as 40% when used on a gas range.
Using speech to text software and a virtual screen to display conversations, in text, to a deaf person. Let speech shout in text and change the silent world of those who are deaf. I agree that this is a simple idea, combinding two existing technologies.
Combine Google maps, GPS, web advertising and speech synthesizing to create a virtual world for the blind.
As the blind person walks down the side walk of main street USA the computer will describe the suroundings, give any hazards coming up and businesses can announce sales.
All major highways are designed with opposite direction lanes with an un-used medium strip separating them.
My all-season ATV track conversion kits convert the rear ATV tires to a tank-like tread system. The track system provides greater contact with the ground, increasing stability and reducing the chance of the ATV from flipping back onto the rider, which may result in serious injuries.
