Alternatives Crowdfunding Ideas to Solar-Roadways & hyperloops
« on: January 05, 2021, 04:13:33 pm »
for oddball project funding.

the inflatable electric vehicle. its a bubble car. a mini-jumping castle on wheels. with air conditioning.
the cab is the airbag!

the solar powered passenger-carrying rigid airship. an old idea with new technology.
the right power to weight ratio.

the magnetic sidewalk or magnetic moving walkway.  you do need the right footwear. moving conveyor is magnetic.
ball bearings set into footwear are pulled down and let the footwear move with the magnetic conveyor waves.

the walking offroad vehicle. its a jeep with legs .  4 -6 or 8 legs
or an  Australian variant 3 legs the bouncing hopping jeepoaroo   the technology of Boston Dynamics 

corrugated solar powered roofing,  high tensile steel cladding with solar photovoltaic zones bonded to it.

the Swiss Army phone. its a cell phone that is also a toolbox.

fiber optic glow in the dark hair extensions.

the self cleaning computer keyboard.

the gyroscopic electric yo-yo

the gyroscopic electric skateboard. for all who are not pro skateboarders.

the laser electric lawn mower.  cuts the grass with light.

bifocal contact lenses

the driveway vehicle turntable. an imbedded circular revolving platform for turning your vehicle in your driveway.
no more reversing on to the street.

add to the list........... ;D

Solar Freaking Rink!  Basically IP 67 rated solar tiles that you can make a rink or skating path with then flood with water and let it freeze to skate on.   Got to have the LEDs of course, so you can setup the hockey lines and what not if you want to use it for hockey.  Can even put advertisements on the ice! 

You know... this is actually not that bad of an idea.... drop the solar part and just do the LEDs and it would be kind of cool I think.  :P

To Indigogo I go!

I agree  solar-roadways needs to be called imbedded illuminated roadway signage.   that can be solar powered externally if needed.  ::)
any illuminated roadway signage needs to 80 to 90% of the surface area.   with added maintenance cost that comes with its fragile design.
if used by more then just pedestrians.   its called digital signage as used in sports stadiums and arenas.
also as a illuminated skating rink signage too  :-+

Energy harvesting in general...

- wireless energy transmission via ultrasound/acoustic waves (I think Dave did a debunk video on this a while ago)
- energy harvesting bridges, where mechanical vibrations are converted into electrical energy
- energy harvesting antennae, where power line emissions are converted into electrical energy
- energy harvesting walkways (pressure/friction converted into electrical energy)
- Dyson Sphere  ;D
