...I understand the genius insanity of the logic behind the ideas that can sometimes hurt & maim, or at the very least, make a big mess. A little while back our local paper, which runs Dave Barry, had reprinted one of his submissions from October 14, 2001 entitled "Beer compels man to go where no man has gone before".
It speaks of guys and ideas gone wrong. Being a big fan of Myth Busters, especially the experiments that result in explosions, I read with great delight. The scary thing is that after reading the article, instead of possessing a general cautiousness of incendiary devices, I was inspired.
I want to build a device that gets people from point A to point B for short distances very quickly. This would solve the problem that my 3 year old has encountered in not getting to the bathroom quick enough. Come to think of it, my 94 year old grandmother would find is useful as well.
It would look like those pull lines that you see on bunny slopes. It would be attached to the interior walls of a home (or office) and the "passenger" would wear those sneakers with wheels in them. They'd grab hold of the handle, announce which room it is that they wish to be transported to, and with a swooosh, there they are. I am going to build a prototype using raquet balls and dental floss. It will be powered by....propane via vacuum hoses, of course (see Dave's article). I will test it out on our 15 year old cats.
Whatch'all think? Here kitty, kitty!

I'll be watching for you on American Inventor (or whatever the name of that show is!). I can't be bothered with details today.
