    Polytubbies - let's invent useful things to make the world a better place

    Do you know that? Sometimes you have a certain problem and think "Why has nobody invented xyz yet to solve that?!?"

    I personally would like to have a cup that keeps my coffee hot. I love to have a big cup of coffee when working on my computer, but - unless you drink it in quite a short time - the coffee gets cold soon. So I demand a cup that has an own heat source, or keeps the coffee hot in another way

    What inventions would you like to see?

          Yeah, could be also useful for Magister- and Doktorarbeiten

              Type of 'glass' in the windshield that they won't get all iced up and that when it's cold and they're standing outside. So that you don't have to spend 5 minutes every morning just to working the windshield so you could actually see something.
              That would be GREAT.

              Also cheap 'insulating' material between the walls so that you can't hear your neighbour and vice versa, but it needs to be cheap so it's actually applied to every building.

              Extendable balcony would be cool too. Push a button and you get a 20 squaremeter balcony.

                Also type of bread that doesn't 'sweat' when you toast it and put butter on it, and that it doesn't crumble.

                  Also what about a battery for laptops that actually lasts more than few hours? How about 48 hours?

                    I'm sure it's possible now, only weighs so much that the laptop loses its portability.

                    A machine that peels potatoes would be quite useful.

                      I'd like a sort of bazooka-thing that would allow me to fire live peacocks at sheets of reinforced plate glass, while schoolchildren applaud wildly.

                      It's not the most practical idea in the world, but sometimes you just need to do something beautiful for beauty's sake.

                        If it's cheap you want, you could cover the exterior of the wall with blankets and egg cartons.

                            An engine that runs on spam. We could corner the market like DeBeers did with the Kimberly pipes. We'd be millionaires!!!!!!!
