High powered audio signal by continuous modulated explosion. December 5, 2007

Imagine a horn, like on a gramophone, used to direct and amplify sound pressure waves, and Imagine that there is no needle but a long narrow slit in the pointed end of the horn. Imagine that there is a record with a track that is maybe 1cm wide, not the usual 1/4 mm, and that the horn slit hole sits over and dissects the wide track. Imagine now that instead of bumps on the track, there is a high powered chemical explosive, not spread randomly, but covering the 1cm track, at varying widths, so that the width of the chemical correspond to a modulation of a sound waves amplitude, imposed onto the circular track The record spins, and a laser from inside the horn continuously ignites the chemical explosive in as the horn passes over each fraction of the track, causing a continuous, steady explosion. As the horn passes over the track, the amplitude of the explosion is modulated by width of the chemical track. Lastly, instead of a spiral track, there is one circular track, and at the opposite side of the sound horn, is a printer printing a waveform onto the track, but instead of printing with ink, it is printing with the high explosive. The track is printed, and played on the opposite side of the spinning disc within a fraction of a second, causing super high gain audio. What thinks we?

How to make a hologram November 20, 2007

I believe the simplest way to make a hologram is a flat display panel with 2d height and width moving back and forth very fast in the depth dimension, and timing pixels at certain points in the depth to light up. A more advanced method would be to use a transparent screen, which becomes opaque at certain points, with a certain colour, and a last, better method still would be moving small particles using magnets, that are opaquised and coloured using laser radiation.

Automative Radiator safe release valve-cap October 31, 2007

An idea for Automotive Radiators;

The problem:
As we know the boiling point of a liquid rises when that liquid is under pressure.With a radiator upon inspection; releasing that valve can cause an explosion of steam from the water inside boiling instantly - This is both dangerous, and scary. On most liquid cooled vehicles these days there is a cap designed to release the gases in a more controlled manner, however, the steam is not realeased in a directionally controlled manner, and is still not directed away from the hands.

The solution:
A radiator cap with a directional valve, integrated with a trigger, a pressure meter, and a locking mechanism which prevents opening of the cap until the pressure is equalised.

Virtual PA October 24, 2007

The virtual PA service is a great Idea, (I have a need for one myself) yet I’m struggling to find a service online that’s as easy to buy, and flexible choice wise as other e-commerce sectors. I think the  business model of these places is not the best, I mean first of all, they have a core staff; that’s overhead right away, and as well as that they only employ people from the surrounding geographic location with seemingly high skill levels. I believe it would be far better to act more like an agency with a vast amount of staff, from vast areas of expertise, yet not only limited to skilled staff; what if I want to order some unskilled labour for a cheap and dirty job? It just doesn’t seem possible in the current light of things, so I propose some newGrounds, as in an online PA agency, instantEmploy.com
