Deer
hunters regularly die of heart attacks while carrying their bucks out
of the woods. The invention here would solve that problem. It would
have an inflatable wheel, using coated nylon that won't puncture
easily. Once you get your deer, blow up the wheel, and using the
clamps on either side, you attach two poles or sticks that you cut on
site. Attach the simple nylon sling between the sticks, and you have a
wheel-barrow-like device that will carry a deer over even rough
trails. Probably weighing no more than two pounds, it could be carried
easily in a day pack. |

Helium Kites
Perhaps its been done, but I haven't seen
them sold yet. With some lift from the helium, these kites could be
flown in any amount of wind. Properly designed, they would still fly
something like a kite, and with some maneuverability if designed like
a stunt kite. A first prototype could be a kite with a small helium
balloon attached. That's an easy invention.
Ad Kites
This is more of a marketing idea than an invention. Have
advertisements on kites and get paid to fly them at the beach or
during big outdoor events. In my former small-town home they paid for
planes to drag ads around during festivals, so the market might be
there.
Disposable Clothing
If dollar stores can keep putting t-shirts on the shelves, we know
they are getting cheap to make. So how about a line of shirts that are
low-quality, but good enough to use, and cost very little to
manufacture? You sell them in boxes of 12, as "disposable clothing."
Where's the market? Maybe people who want less laundry to do on long
trips. I set aside old clothes for just that purpose, which is where
the idea came from. Also, some people might want to have some cheap
things to wear for doing dirty jobs.
Kayak Shoes
Imagine this: You are wearing two little "kayaks" on your feet. Two
more smaller ones at the end of two ski-poles help you balance as you
walk across the nearest lake. At 8 feet long and 8 inches around, they
would hold about 170 pounds each, by the way. To try this one,
remember that to figure the volume of a cylindrical object, you
multiply pi (3.14) times the radius squared times the length. Oh, and
each cubic foot of air will support about 64 pounds.
Wind Tents
An easy invention idea from childhood. Me and my brothers spent
summers at the beach, on Lake Michigan. Many nights, the wind blew
steady off the water, and we discovered that we could make a "wind
tent" out of an old blanket. With three sides pinned down, using rocks
and sand, the wind held the "tent" open. We camped out in these tents,
although when the wind died, the tent did. Maybe someone could make
and market a plastic version. A colorful square of plastic - this is
one of the easiest of the easy invention ideas.
