Ideas: May 2025 Release
THE MOTIVATION
The ideas section is a place to offload and share various ideas I’ve come up. Although these are only the ideas that have already been implemented, tested, something I’m not interested in doing, or technically incomplete (meaning there’s various technical progress that needs to be accomplished before it’s applicable), however, it has definitely been conceived by me independently. Then there’s the secret ideas that I can’t quite reveal yet because I want to develop it first or because it maybe patentable and I want to protect my ability to patent it and open source it globally. Overall, these ideas serve to share the kind of practical imagination I have but also to share the journey into the future:
Stock market graphs
Stock price graph should allow you to select range to zoom in on so you have the same sense of scale as when it happened. Right now looking at the appreciated values over say five years crushes large fluctuations earlier on. So not just past five years, but select 5-4 years ago. Also hovering over a specific date can give you a summary of news related to the company on that date so you don’t need to manually search for it in a separate window.
Pea plant biology kit
Lets you recreate the famous pea plant hybridization experiments Gregor Mendel used to discover genetics. Upon looking it up, it already exists, but is a cool simple business idea I came up with on my own.
Hive mind conversations
Representatives can specifically have live conversations with a team/group/crowd of people speaking into an earpiece or displayed on a AR glasses. The representative still does the talking plus managing the inputs, but can have a team do things like fact check or ask questions that people are interested in. These facts/questions/etc can then be displayed on screen. Would probably be best to develop a webapp that facilitates this. Whereas a natural place for this to live is on a youtube channel. Overall, I think it’s time to upgrade our conversations with the 21st century technology we have today to be more accurate and representative.
Electromagnetic spaceship docking
An intriguing idea I had was to dock spaceships using electromagnets kind of like Magsafe but for ships. Currently they use a combination of thrusters, robotic arm, and leaflets, but considering the delicacy of that final meter maybe it would be better to use electromagnets to guide it in. Someone already implemented a tabletop version of this idea here. I’m sure there’s some reason why NASA didn’t implement it, but it’s a neat idea nonetheless.
Police webcam
Should be able to pay a subscription to have a police camera setup on your property that livestreams straight to the police as evidence. This way there’s no if ands or buts about what’s happening. Could be another source of revenue for the police. Might not need to be monitored but just used as a record source of truth.
Social media youtube
What if youtube borrowed some features from say twitter, and allowed retweets and people to record video in comments. This way it can facilitate the conversation not just be a place to view content.
Walking exoskeleton
Boston dynamics have an impeccable grasp on robotic motion dynamics, they could create a robotic exoskeleton to help the disabled or elderly.
Github style legislation
Github code change logs should be used for drafting legislation because it sees who is exactly suggesting what. This let’s you see who is stuffing bills full of pork, who is making critical changes, and etc.
Stacked FDM printing
FDM 3D prints could be stacked on top of each other using support material between parts.
Vacuum sealing electric motors
Basically the electric motor runs in a internal vacuum to reduce friction from air. This becomes especially important for high speed motors where that air resistance adds up. Upon look up this already is being implemented.
Roll cage attachment for bicycles
You would buckle up into like a car, but it would provide vastly improved protection in case of a fall or crash. The roll cage would be as big as your arms and legs can fly out so the roll cage can’t roll over your limbs.
Remote autopilot
Basically allow air-traffic controllers to remotely take over control of an airplane. This could be useful for managing swarms of aircraft or in an emergency setting. Upon looking this up it already exists, it’s called uninterruptible autopilot, and it is used to take back control of an airplane that’s been hijacked.
Chrome pinned tabs
Pinned tabs in chrome shouldn’t be automatically moved to the left side. Sometimes I want pinned source tabs along with unpinned exploration tabs followed by another section of pinned source tabs with unpinned exploration tabs and so on.
Cargo ship security
Shipping vessels should use robotic water hoses and a drone to spot it for them. This avoid exposing yourself to manually aim the water hoses.
Text messaging app routing
Should have a subscription plan that allows text messaging apps like Whatsapp, Signal, etc to handle regular texts. This way using the app integrates seamlessly with your day to day usage.
Social security number security
Instead of allowing someone to look up/do whatever they want once they have your social security number, it goes through an authorization step. Say you want to apply for unemployment benefits, you provide them your social security number, and then it goes to a separate website that allows you to authorize that SSN request. This way if you SSN is stolen, you’d simply see the unauthorized request and just deny it.
