IDEA help: I want to invent something, I decided that today; but my main problem is i don’t know what people need. - Help.com

First of all how old are you?

Well yes, you’d most definitely need to be educated, I want to know what level your at right now.

Well inventing is a really complicated thing. And it takes money, so I’m guessing you’ve some ideas on how to deal with right

i play guitar and i have always wanted a magnetic guitar pick holder. the problem with this is that a guitar works by the pickups using magnets. if you could make a magnetic pick configuration that did not interfere with the pickups on the guitar, that would sell

I imagine they would need to be custom to not interfere with the sound and thus probably would not work. Cool idea, but why not just put them in the strings, and not everyone uses metal picks.

My friends dad came up with a pretty neat idea that is making some money, and that’s disposable toothbrushes for hotels and restaurants.

lolcat: advertising creates demand, it doesn’t exploit it. Get a product and good enough advertising, you don’t even need an idea: people will buy what they don’t need and never wanted before the ad.

Well my friend got the patent.

the scouter from Dragonball Z: a small computer that tells you what stuff is and analyzes it. That’d be nice, lolcat.

I have one good idea for an invention, but i’ve been looking for a while and can’t find the material that brings it all together, but I’m positive it exists.

describe it, OP. We could help.

Well the computer exists, nasa uses it to determine materials with space probes. Thing is they aren’t cheap and the real computation is probably done on earth.

Invent a better solar panel, right most panels use like 9% solar energy.

its a mechanical arm that works the same way the human arm does, contractions in the tissue cause a person to flex their muscles, this works with the same basic principle.

I’ve heard of servo-arms, but not this, OP. Sounds awesome, and that material would probably be some sort polymer already in production.

When you have GitS style prosthetics running, I’ll buy.

Wow that’s a breakthrough.

Thy have solar panel technology to get 80% f the light, but when making the cells 1 in 5 are bad so it does not work so thats just a process of lowing that amount

Electrically sensitive material, that responds to electricity by changing is shape, this is the material I’m looking for, but that material would be the backbone of the arm

I read an article in scientific american that uses that concept exactly. The polymer has been around for quite some time now, I’m not sure about the product but if it’s in SA you can bet that’s patented. Sorry.

You could find a way to recycle styrofoam packaging materials.
There is mountains of this stuff and is being thrown away.
It needs to be ground up into beads mixed with new material bead
stock and then rexpnaded into blocks.
Which can be sawn into slabs for insulation in homes.
