Combine an exercise bike with a Wii or Playstation, add some Tour De France stages and adjust the resistance depending on whether you're going uphill or downhill. Record best times for routse and allow online racing and downloadable courses.
Better still, combine it with Google
Streetview for the ultimate virtual cycle tour!
If someone steals this idea and makes their millions, please at the
very least just send me a free, complete and working example.
I've thought of something similar too while doing (virtual) spinning classes. Better still, combine it with Google
Streetview for the ultimate virtual cycle tour!

Surely it can't be hard to connect
each bike to race against each other through a TdF stage or through new york shown on projector.
Would make excersise great fun.
We already get juice in concentrate form, just dilute to taste.
With the huge market in bottled water surely concentrated water is the next big thing.
Think of the savings in packaging, transport and manufacturing costs.
All you would have to do is mix it with the stuff that comes out the kitchen tap. To taste.
Genius, that's me.

A solar powered torch, 2 bright ideas in one. Berdumchaa.
You can already buy one of those http://www.wigglywigglers.co.uk/shop/product.html?...
I'm already part way down the road with this one: Clip on Charcoal odour filters for Microwave ovens. Produced in 3 sizes, they clip on the vent grille of your microwave to stop the house stinking of steamed veg, curry, fish etc.
Another one I've been experimenting with is Neon gas filled double glazing units. They can be switched on at night to light the house from the windows. Does away with conventional lighting, and curtains

A tube which goes by the front door, it analyses my breath to identify me then if the alcohol level is over a certain level it opens the door for me, locks the bedroom and opens the spare room.
That's an absolute non-starter. If you're married, your wife will perform this function perfectly well. If you're not married, you don't need it.Pothole said:
I had an idea for a prickly ball to replace the one in your mouse to clear all the gunge out of it...market is shrinking now cos of optical mice so prolly not worth the dev costs....
It already exists, I have used one. Prickly ball and a prickly mousemat for it to grip to. Move the mouse around in circles then replace with the original ball. Job done

ok here's my 2p's worth.
So you want to fly to Australia, you don't fancy 24hrs cooped up in a plane with the kids screaming nor do you fancy staying overnight on-route to break the journey??
My idea is simple yet brilliant! Before I explain you must first ignore all concept of running costs.
Shuttle launch into orbit. Dock in Papa's Space Station. Enjoy shopping, tennis, movies, walks and generally being in space, while all the time the space station is slowly positioning itself while the world spins before re joining the shuttle for the drop down to Oz.
Form an orderly que
I'd rather take a Scramjet and do it in 2 hours... So you want to fly to Australia, you don't fancy 24hrs cooped up in a plane with the kids screaming nor do you fancy staying overnight on-route to break the journey??

I've heard a rumour that the new Gran Tourismo game on the X-Station will eventually have a feature where you buy a box, fit it to your road/track car, go to any of the tracks featured in the game, do your laps then when you get home you can upload the data to your Play-Box and race against yourself. Better still, combine it with Google Streetview for the ultimate virtual cycle tour!

Not the same, but made me remember the above.

People powered power stations.
Now, if anybody is a blatant dole scrounger (eg, on benefits for 6 months or so) then they have a choice; either work for the power station for minimum wage or lose their benefits. Make it more appealing than the dole, say some sort of 'clubcard' scheme where not only do you earn your wage but for each hour worked you earn a 'point', which can later be cashed in for Butlins holidays, fags etc. 30 minute shift on the bike, 10 minute break. Repeat for 9 hours.
