Due to a discussion on here, about how to solve the riddle of steamed up glasses, got me thinking about what we really want, but for whatever reason, mankind hasn't quite fathomed out yet?
I'll start the ball rolling with:
Diet, healthy alcohol :b

I saw a fella the other day in the doorway of the pub having a 'phone' conversation with his mum on his watch.
Clever concept, but my word did he look like a complete bell end.
Speaking into his wrist was one thing, but then shoving it into his ear to hear the response was just priceless to view.
After 2 minutes of me staring at him in jest he kinda felt a bit stupid eventually, and deservedly so. :rolleyes

It's the quirky things in life that I can never manage to think of from the top of my head... my immediate response to this was cheap, clean fuel :\

A fully automated workplace and a state that comfortably supports us because we don't have to work anymore. In other words, when they started replacing the workforce with robots, if they'd come up with a good plan for what everyone would do to live as well. As far as I can see, it'll only get worse.

A nice thought, but you always need human intervention, as things always foc up at some stage.
Plus, can you imagine how many people would be milling about wondering what to do with their time?
I'd never be out of the pub! :b

For the past ten years I've been working on frostfree Tarmac, and for the past three years I've used it on my drive and surrounding roads which has been very successful. I used this in a spray format which lasts ten times as long than salt and grit but the true test is on the roads where traffic wear will be probably the deciding factor. I have also used this formula on pavements and even with a few inches of snow it has remained not just snow and frost free but also dry. I have just started to mix this in with the Tarmac to see what longevity this will have but testing this method is proving to be very expensive. This would be a revelation in road surfacing world wide and paramount to road safety during winter months.
I know this will carry huge costs for all the councils and local authorities to convert the traditional grit lorries to a liquid spraying solution and resurfacing all the roads if my Tarmac mix works, but millions is spent each year and is more a reactive solution where my Tarmac mix is proactive and permanent. This means that even sudden heavy snow falls it doesn't lie and instantly dries too.
However I am convinced that I am really onto something and the Canadian authorities have indicating they could provide funding for the final testing on a stretch on one of their roads.
It's an exciting time for me and have set up a company to do more testing and market this worldwide.
As fellow bikers I'm sure you would agree it would transform winter biking.

Wow BBB, good one! Good luck with it, hope it works and is taken up.
And when it is, it's your round :lol

In the Welsh mountains a while back it seemed that most rock salt that was spread to stop the ice was being washed off by small rain showers or blown off by passing traffic , so the clever people who are paid to think of a way out decided to mix the slat with molasses, a sticky sugary substance, it was soon deemed a failure as all the sheep and wild ponies from thre Brecon beacons were lined up along the center of the roads licking this delicious substance off the roads :lol

That's the hard bit, all patents are pending at the moment, I didn't believe how hard it would be. Tarmac is a patented brand and been to see them but all they want is my recipe for their own testing.....aye right!!!!! Inventing a new type of road surface is virtually impossible but I'm sure a deal could be done with Tarmac but they're play hardball at the moment.
Even the gtitter lorry spreading mechanism is patented along with a whole load of other shit in processing......that's why it's taking so long........dragons den beckons

I'd like some shares in BBB's invention!
A automated highway system that would self-operate, provide the power for vehicles on its grid, and not have any accidents. Imagine the highways in "I, Robot" without the going vertical bits, and without the psychotic lorries!

I mean as an urban network. Drive to a major town, park the bike, get into a "pod" that takes you straight to where you want to go. Like park and ride buses, but actually functional! Would reduce traffic jams as no accidents, and a computerised control network.

I designed, built prototypes, got patents and sold two patents for 100cc go kart applications about thirty plus years ago.
1. Application for operating the throttle by way of hand operated lever mounted on the back of the seat. Those that have had to bump direct drive 100cc karts will know what I'm on about. When you bump these you have to run along, one hand on the steering wheel and the other on the back of the seat holding the rear wheels off the ground and then drop the back turning over the engine by way of the back wheels. When the engine fired the knack was to jump in and hit the go pedal before the engine died or you lost momentum... sometimes easier said than done. Unless you have Kosmic's Easy Start system. Dump the kart hold the lever and the kart bursts into life and travels forward at fast walking pace (jogging) with the motor nicely ticking over. Jump in holding the lever until you can get your foot on the throttle and away you go.
You can't see the hand operated but to the right of the tank you can see the throttle linkage. The lever operated the throttle cable without interfering with the foot pedal and vise versa.

(http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s85/adthebad/Easystart1_zps28b60934.jpg) (http://s150.photobucket.com/user/adthebad/media/Easystart1_zps28b60934.jpg.html)
2. Steering wheel mounted choking lever. At maximum revs when racing these karts, at the end of a long straight before backing off the throttle the engine bore needs to be cooled or there is a great potential to seize the engine because the fuel is pre-mixed. When you gas off there is not enough oil running through the engine to lubricate the piston and bore. The knack was to cover the air intake with one hand to flood the engine, a rich intake of oil and petrol would cool the bore. Thing is you have to pretty accurate when doing this. Too much and the engine would flood and stall and spit you into a spin then maybe restart mid corner often with a lock up sideways or lots of power causing bad oversteer... Not what you want as this costs laptime and unsettles the kart. The Kosmic's Easy Choke was fully adjustable to give you just the right amount of richening. On longer straights such as Rye House more choking/cooling was needed and on shorts straight as at Lydd less cooling was needed. The finger operated lever mounted on the back of the steering wheel activated a butterfly valve on the air intake. This meant both hands could be kept on the steering wheel just at corner entry where you need to be precise.

You can already get something like that I think that you press it and the button slowly pops out and then turns the light off, you can also fit remote sensors that turn them on and off.
And apart from any of that there is something that already does it --- its called Dad.

they might be better now but I tried one a few years ago and it just never got dark enough :)

I have the clear one, and the tinted one which was certainly good enough in summer.
Apart from the anti fog properties I also like the fact that they get rid of headlight glare at night as well.
There's a bit of a knack to fitting them, because you need to get it right first time with the double sided tape, you can't just peel it off to readjust it.
And you need to have the visor totally clean, and dust, hair and shit free, otherwise you're doomed to have to stare at it.
I've got it down to a bit of an art now, and every 1 or 2 years i'll reapply and shape new double sided tape in one long length on my visor so that it stays air tight.
Because I ride all year round water will eventually find a way in, normally around the top somewhere, then it's time to change the tape again.
I use Sticky Stuff Remover to get the old gunk off, as it doesn't hurt anything.

Flash charging capacitor type battery powered cars. With one charge the car can push you along for another 4-5 kilometers. There should be flash charging pads on roads every few hundred meters, and as you ride over (or near by it), the battery takes the charge in a fraction of a second and off we go into future. A back up battery will give a 10 km range 'limp mode' to cover the last time / private estates etc.
