Free electric power in a bathroom
Do you imagine how a hydroelectric station works? A flow of water revolves the turbine that emerge as rotor of the huge generator – and kinetic energy changes into electric. This is eltmentary physics everybody knows it…
And now remember how many times in a day you open the tap on the kitchen/ in the bathroom or wash away in the toilet? And all this used water rushes in the sanitation. And the water of your neighbors too… Megatons of water flows for nothing. ))
Specialists of the Japanese company Toto invented the converter which works on principle of a hydroelectric station: water falls on the turbine, the turbine revolves and gives the energy to drive and distributors. The miniature converter has been already released and successfully works: on every discharging of water electric energy gets into battery and due to this battery a toilet is lightened and theoretically the rest electrical appliances may work.
Squeeze juice out of a lemon!
Food of some countries (for example, Arabic or Mediterranean food) requires a lot of lemons. Maybe you also squeezed juice out of a lemon once in salad or tea. Where happens with juice? That’s right, it flies asunder, stain your clothes, and gets into your eyes. Brrrr…. But now your tortures are over – look at this wonderful invention made by company “Surlatable”!
It is a rubber (silicone) brightly lemon yellow bulb, which has opening for lemon from one side, and holes for juice’s trickling from another side. Look at the photo and you’ll understand how to use it: place cut lemon into the bulb, squeeze with all your strength, and… done! It is very simple and original invention. It is funny and strange, but there were no analogues of lemon squeezer heretofore, so the company with clear conscience sells it for $5,95… At the same time cost value of lemon squeezer is ten times lesser…

Ferris wheel for cars
If you are not afraid of height and even ready to dine up in the sky, then you can realize one more childish dream – to fly in a car. Of course, it won’t be a car flight from “Harry Potter” or “Taxi 2” movies, but it will also be fascinating.
Dutch engineer John Kormeling designed Ferris wheel for cars in 2005. It reminds usual attraction, but there are only four “seats” for cars. Automobiles are placed on platforms, fastened with special ropes and… off we go! The journey lasts 15 minutes, and cars are lifted to 30 meters height. The whole city is like an open book… By the way, you give ignition key to the operator. Just in case…
The attraction passed all safety tests and is used all over Europe since 2006.
Any foreign newspaper in 5 minute
“It would be great to read “Sport-express”!” – dreams Russian tourist in Thailand. And there are 10 more days of vacation… How many newspapers are not sold in summer when so many people are abroad on resorts? It is a good question!
When you travel abroad – in a professional capacity or for vacation – you almost newer have an opportunity to read native press. It concerns not only Russian tourists in Antalya, but every person who is far from his country. For justice’ sake lets notice that newspapers of the world’s biggest publishing houses are sold in many capitals, but the general situation is not changed. Leaving your city is time to forget about your favorite local newspaper. If only it was possible to solve this problem…
It is possible!
Make money on vast number of published books
Which author in your opinion is the most published one in the world? I do not mean circulation, but number of written books. Robert Heinlein? Alexandre Dumas? Stephen King? Nothing of the kind. The most published author in the world is someone M. Parker. Don’t you know him? So read “The New York Times” of April 14, 2008.
Philip Parker, management professor, made computer program, which scans every internet file and document with open access on concrete theme and gathers all necessary data on required issue. Then a group of 6-7 programmers uses 70 computers and edits all these data making it readable. As a result there will be made a synthetic book compiled of hundreds and thousands documents. It is possible to write a book on any given theme, and it will take one-two days. In general. It is cheap but good fast and fundamental. Of course, such book won’t remind “Romeo and Juliet” and will, more likely, be written like “Theory of Strength of Materials”. Sometimes it is quite appropriate. For example, almost every medical book is bought by medical institutes in spite of “non- literary” language and structure…
Phone booths of the 21st century
We always come back to our roots. Nowadays there are 2 milliards people, who have mobile phones. Every next day brings more happy users, and less phone booths… I believe, there are such people, who have seen those cabins only in cinema.
But the history returns. American company SALEMI INDUSTRIES began the production of the phone booths. There is only one interesting thing, you can make calls inside only by your own mobile phone. The booths are sound-proof: their function is to protect you from different sounds, or protect people, who are around you from your own voice. The best places to put such booths are in night clubs, libraries, airports, concert halls… The price is 2.400-3.500 USD. The profit of the companies includes the rent of the cabins, selling them and different advertisement inside the cabins.
Chandelier-“bungee jump”
I think from time to time everybody awfully wants to relax in strict office and give way to emotions. There are many reasons for such desire… It would be much better if you transformed your emotions into something nice and positive. For example, chandelier ride! And why not?!
Sometimes you have good mood or you’ve heard good news or you feels you are becoming taller or… There are so many reasons to be happy! But chandelier ride is not the best idea until you’ve got… special chandelier-“bungee jump”. “Are they exist?” – you ask. “Yes!” – I will answer.
How to make money on scents
The idea was taken from one of CNN website articles
Advertisement pursues us everywhere – our eyes and ears are constantly “under attack”! But sense of smell wasn’t yet enabled… In April, 2007, one Californian gas station chain (100 stations) introduced innovational ad – dispersion of fresh milled coffee aroma. The scent was so strong and appetizing that clients of filling stations bought coffee and rolls knot even knowing why! They only wanted to fuel the tank, but because of aromatic motivation they at the same time spent $50 in minimarket. So the owners of this business gained profit practically from nowhere! Splendid!
How to find stolen cell phone?
Every day thousands of cell phone owners lose their devices because of various reasons. The most widespread reasons are thefts and robberies. It is very sad, but in some countries larceny and selling of stolen cell phones are main bread-winners for many people. There are entire specialized markets for stolen things trade. (( Mobile operators seldom give phone numbers of new owners of your phone because it is not profitable to give phones back to “old” owners. Police can’t guarantee return, too: statistically only 12% of stolen cell phones can be returned to their owners.
Surely, many people would think: “The phone is stolen… So what? Go and buy new one!” But it is not as simple as it seems to be. You can buy new cell phone and SIM card and it won’t be too expensive. But how will you return personal photos and hundreds of contacts from phone book? Of course, you may write notice and ask to return the phone for reward, but as a rule it is just a waste of time.
