When I was into firing powerful, home-made loads from my.44 mag, I designed a thing to pad the heel of my hand from the recoil. It had a thin piece of synthetic latex rubber sandwiched between two pieces of thin leather. It strapped around the thumb and back of the hand to stay in place and had a single velcro fastener.
I cut out the pieces and had a shoe repair guy sew it for me.
It was a really unique design, not restrictive, nothing like a glove, and other shooters thought it was awesome.

I invented an inexpensive clip that took the place of a very expensive security cable. One of my former customers was a machine shop and they were able to make hundreds of these clips. Enough for every piece of equipment I had to secure. I probably saved at least ten thousand dollars.

Why did they invented that toilet grill? I mean do they want to eat food fresh or food with the taste of already digested? Anyways for me I haven't exactly invented anything but I use life hacks (not the phony one of 5 minutes craft or crafty panda! But my own). So yeah I can find a quick solution which can be life savior lol. I don't know if this counts or not but I also create or write poems, songs, horror stories and novels.

I was getting fed up of buying cans after cans of air freshener for my furniture and for my room because I smoke all the time. So I decided to make my own freshener for the air and for the furniture. I take spray bottle, fill it up with water halfway, then I take two different air fresheners and sprayed in the bottle then I shake it up mixing it together and then I use the spray bottle. Sometimes I fill it with ice. That way I don't have to keep emptying cans after cans of air freshener to keep my apartment in bedroom smelling nice especially after I come home from work.

I designed a couple of custom mounts for satellite dishes back when I was doing that kind of work. I worked with a woman whose business fabricated other stuff, and her company made them for me and others. I never tried to make money off of them - I'd probably have made a couple hundred bucks a year at most anyway - I just wanted them for MY company to use, and by letting her sell them, it made it worth it for her to make them.

It didn't matter much in the end, as the big satellite TV companies got sued and got rid of third-party contractors and brought the installation business in-house, so I had to find something else to do anyway.

Sadly, no. Would be cool. I secretly have an interest in product design. But I ain't even close to good at it.
I think it's one of the coolest ways to leave your mark. Especially if it's something people both need and want to use because it aesthetically and functionally rocks.

I had a dream about turning coca cola into a coffee and the next day i woke up to a coca cola coffee commercial like wtf!! And also, i came up with a company name for my fashion store in 8th grade. The teacher made us present it to the class. 12 years later, its a company with that exact name! One that no one could ever guess… its not a fashion store but its gift related

AviatorTom · Answer

I haven't invented something that would be patentable. I did create some software many years ago, early in my career, that was used to efficiently and safely monitor train movements.

I have a patent pending on a system of modular sensors on a cellular connected motherboard. It's oddly specific but you know, that's how parents be.

Yep, A board game , called Match Pitch Baseball , A game where batter tries to predict pitch. Never sold it because I was told there are too many baseball games out on market. I still think electronic version would have been a hit (no pun)
