A coffee cup that catches drips.

Movie theaters with bathroom stalls that know which movie you’re in so you don’t miss anything.

Traffic lights with a wait meter.

A tiny keychain GPS to help you find your lost keys.

A pen that can scan any color and immediately write with it.

USB plugs in the power outlets.

A rotatable bench to roll the dry side up.

Slides on tall stairs.

How to get everyone to stop littering.

Hoodie backpack.

A charger that uses heat or cold to charge your phone.

A solar panel specifically for charging your iPhone.

Paying for a train ticket with recyclable stuff like bottles.

Headphone zipper that is impossible to tangle.

Batteries you can recharge via USB.

I can't help thinking that mug will be impossibru to keep clean and eventually grow sentient spores which take over the world.

My dad just installed one of the USB power outlets in our house. It was the first time in a while I was amazed by new technology.

#4 is a good concept but terrible implementation. Requires everyone to run bluetooth and tile app. #11 is a scam on kickstarter.

In other news, a local resident had to be rescued from a movie theater bathroom stall after his legs fell asleep while on the toilet.

A cubicle where I can watch a movie without screaming kids and idiots on cellphones? I'd head straight there and stay there.

For the traffic light one: I never understood why not more countries use the system we have in Austria: Green flashes 4 times before yellow.

11 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Why? Yellow is the 'about to turn red' signal.

Impossible to tangle headphones you say? My pocket would beg to differ. It is a master in over 4,000 types of knots, surely one will work.

I agree. End to end twist then, end to end twist again. They come apart like a dream.

I feel like the traffic light is dangerous.

11 years ago | Likes 18 Dislikes 1

Its used in my area, its not dangerous but rather keeps people from running a red.

The pen was a kickstarter scam. The USB wall outlet is real though.

It wouldn't work, the teeth would twist and the zipper wouldn't track, zippers only work because the fabric keeps then generally aligned.

Well, I don't know but I think that will always zipp myself with it, but maybe that's just me

Wait just a damn minute! If cold can generate energy, then why the hell is my electric bill so high (I live in Anchorage, AK)???

This product is scam on kickstarter.

It's not just cold, it's a temperature differential in the thermocouple. It won't work if both sides are cold.

11 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

Because it's more complex to generate energy that way. Most of our energy tech relies on heat.

Those phone chargers would take a reaaaaally long time to charge a phone.

11 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 1

Not really. If you put your phone in airplane mode while it's charging it goes much faster.

11 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Still slower than a typical rapid USB charger.

11 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

No arguments there

11 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Still, a small solar panel wouldn't produce very much electricity at all and that plate charger would take for fucking ever.

Bathrooms are typically past the ticket collector -- ie you can't use them without having a ticket.
