Voodoo 6

Voodoo 6

So, I was tooling around my protractor today and was thinking about replacing a vehicles signaling/lighting system with light pipes. Instead of running wiring to the front and back of a car, truck etc, it would use acrylic light pipes. A "light box" would be positioned somewhere in the vehicle that would project an LED to the appropriate area to be lit. I still haven't figured out what kind of intensity would be needed to power the headlights however. My question is would acrylic light pipes be more economical than wiring? Any thoughts are welcome. Cheers!
 
ok so how about this one, you know those larger boxes of Kleenex, where you sometime reach for a tissue and it falls back into the box. How about putting a simple piece of plastic in the shape of an arc, to act as a spring to push the tissues upward. just thinking inside the box here. Cheers!

I would sooner make the actual box in the style of "push pops", than to do anything that might create an obstruction or entrapment for the product.

It would be so easy to make a box with a moving "floor', and one-way tabs that would prevent 2-way travel. (think ratchets)
 
How about special underwear with built-in hemorrhoid massager? (or at least a finger to push them back up in there when one sits down)
 
I am personally not afflicted by this condition, but I once read a story about a woman who was suing a furniture manufacturer, because as she stood on top of her dresser, bent over inspecting her dreadful case of the piles, in the affixed mirror, it toppled forward onto her.

I always thought of mounting a huge middle finger on top of the car/truck which pops up with the pull of a string when needed. I think that would be hiliarious  :rofl:

My Dad's buddy (supposedly) had something similar to that, back in the 70's, for when the cops were chasing him. Had a lever next to the shifter in his Chevelle. When you pulled it, the rear license plate folded down, and there was a picture of a middle finger behind the license plate, then he'd hammer on the gas and ditch the cops

(Several people have vouched for that story, so I'm assuming it's true)

     Rockwell Automation's retro encabulators have there place in today's unilateral phase detractors, but torque leakthrough was almost entirely overlooked by their R&D department at conception.
     Thank god for Wilson's new countersink flanges!
