Submarines are complete with most of what space travel needs.

The following is very possible. Why are we not putting a nuclear submarine in space to see how it performs? I know they would be a heavy payload, but they don't have to be for launch, they could be stripped of all non spacey materials for the launch. Even the nuclear engine could be launched separately. Once in orbit we retrofit the vessel as a space workhorse and the ships' weapon systems will be ready to attack Earth bound objects and reach firing range quickly all over our system. Additionally because a submarine is tubular in shape, it can spin to provide simulated gravity for the the crew.  Anthony Zuppero phD who works for the U.S. Department of Energy, really wants to get us into space and he proposes  we could use steam for propulsion from the ice that is known to be beneath the surface of the moon and expected to be within over twenty planetary bodies/moons in our solar system. (PDF: Propulsion to Moons of Jupiter Using Heat and Water Without Electrolysis Or Cryogenics) It would be the most powerful blast of steam the world has ever known from a man made object. He proposes we dock close to the surface of the moon, where a drilling station will withdraw the ice, melt the ice and and pump it into a giant hollow donut which encircles the submarine and is affixed to the submarine. This water becomes the submarines propulsion and nuclear coolant component and the giant donut will hold enough water for all the crew needs to get around all over the system. A planetary taxi. It is estimated the speed in space of the steam propelled nuclear powered submarine will be about 270,000 miles per hour! Arriving at the Mars sex colony in just a few days! 

Doctor Zuppero has thought allot more about this than I have, he's done all the math,  and the details are great, although the concept it is relatively simplistic and efficient and practical as a methodology of exploring space, and owning our solar system: Neofuel

 Audio embedded writing would add a new dimension for writers and readers.

I'm sick of the same old blogging. Here's what I want next on my blog interface while editing; Audio Embedded Text.  The ability to put a dramatic musical sound track and emotion targeted audio special  effects and explanative chords and punctuation inflecting music within my text as I'm writing.  An audio track that begins the moment the reader sees the first letter of the first word, that is integrated to the reader's webcam and follows the reader's eyes with precision while they read, and then pauses the instant the readers' eyes turn away. The editor would let me add real music, or creatively write my own sequence music. Oh the joy all writers could provide to readers! Imagine . .

A dialogue section where the antagonist farts while talking to someone - and it's not in the text, but in the next paragraph the characters mention it!  Birds chirping while Snow White awakens in children's stories. A truck backing up during a dialogue section which actually causes the reader to misread what the speakers are saying, because it's digital media the letters could get blurry, or leave the page - the author doesn't have to write in these environmental necessities any longer. Corporations spending millions of labor hours adding soundtracks to all new books and classics of our time! Millions of couch dwelling television and movie oholics begin to read enthusiastically! Instruction manuals for imported do it yourself furniture with calming new age backgrounds, that don't stop when the Nordic lovers look away. 

Drivers of cars melting our roadways automatically.

I stuck my all wheel drive car in the icy snow back in February, it was the fourth time in my life I carelessly trapped my vehicle in snow. I’m sick of it. My tires were stuck on top of two inches of glassy smooth hard ice and that contact became lubricated by water when the temperature rose above freezing and three days passed before I gathered the energy to dig-out allot of heavy snow and ice. What if getting my car out of it’s rut meant taking a half-hour or an hour to go have some breakfast, watch the news, have a shot of whiskey then return to my car and drive off? Sweet!

Why are we not heating our tires from within and relatively quickly melting ourselves out of trouble? Dig, the steel belts within the modern steel belted radials can be heated electrically. Or a simple heating element can be conjoined to a tire air-valve stem. A temperature and pressure relief valve assures the heat has not over expanded the tires. We know that modern rubber can take temperatures of 120º on the hottest of road pavements without dangerous degradation to the material. This would be perfect for the self inflating models of car because when the tire temperature cools down the air inside will contract and tire pressure will be reduced by several pounds and would have to soon be adjusted.

There is great possibly with this invention that what saves us from being stuck can make the snow plow and tons of road salt (poisonous) in large part unnecessary. We already very much melt the under center of the roads with our engine heat, the tires could add even more heat. What if it were snowing hard and the storm threatens to strand hundreds of thousands of commuters on the highways (i.e. Atlanta, February, 2014)? What if at this point drivers all remember to switch on their tire heaters? A fold-down heating element secured underneath each quarter panel, at the wheel well, could also melt tracks for our tires to get us out of freezing cold road-side traps.

Dentists beware. Technology may replace most of you soon.

Dentists and dental hygienists, look at another career. The desire for clean and healthy and white teeth could lead to the invention of one of the most important home medical tools in our history. A sonic and microwave tooth and gums cleaning device for home use. Anyone who could afford the device can stand in their bathrooms and removes calculi and carries in minutes, and remain free of them in just seconds per morning. Can easily be computer guided to quickly target only our unwanted mouth debris so as not to disturb soft tissue, best done by a micro depth and texture detecting laser which feeds the direction and depth of an ultrasound and microwave frequency broadcast. Beneath the gum line and under the tooth hygene on a daily basis will then be possible.

Inventors should experiment with various sound frequencies known to vibrate and loosen materials. Many hospitals are using ultrasound water baths to successfully loosen and break-up kidney stones and have been doing so for more than twenty years. It makes sense and I believe someone in the dental profession already knows this and knows it will remove millions of billable hours from dentists and dental hygienists - a corrupt position to be in which is likely.

If it can happen I foresee huge drops in tooth decay and sepsis from tooth and gum infection. Hundreds of grueling hours in a dentists’ chair throughout our lives will no longer be normal.

The same concept of technology for home dental care, can be upgraded and transformed to be one of the worlds greatest medical inventions. With it’s use we’ll seen an almost end to arteriosclerosis and heart disease as contributed to by plaque among western economies. Because we should also be able to point this instrument at all of our arteries and veins, organs, and maybe one day our brain to prevent senility diseases, or at our bloodstream to remove carcinogens and metals like lead and mercury and clear every artery and vein of sclerosis.  I’ve said it before, if necessity is the mother of invention, than heavy labor maintenance to prevent and heal tooth decay exceeds qualification to require an invention.

Big giant bathroom rubbers make bathroom maintenance a piece of cake.

 If a retail brick and mortar business wants to increase their customer base they would advertise Free Restrooms Inside. Congenial, this welcomes potential new customers, and what they see they may buy. It's very basic business, offer an amenity everyone needs, and see more customers.

Paradoxically the lack of local government sponsored public bathrooms has caused merchants to also shut their bathroom doors, as the influx of all walks of people needing to evacuate themselves was too much mess for the labor involved in maintaining those bathrooms.

When I was a boy, in the nineteen sixties, every store had a sign hanging that directed customers to the bathroom. It was taken for granted. Now what happened? Gas stations began tying their bathroom keys to bricks, and the signs all came down by the nineteen nineties, even gas stations can no longer be counted on to have customer bathrooms. Here's what happened I think; gang graffiti and pornographic graffiti on bathroom walls is an offense to have to scrub off. Drug users whose homes were the streets began using any accessible bathrooms to use-up in. Homeless would crawl into bathrooms to sleep, to clean themselves. Drunks would vomit in bathrooms in businesses and especially in or near where alcohol was being served. Bathrooms are disgusting to have to continually clean up. Even employees told to so so find ways to not clean the bathroom.

Once in San Francisco I came upon a automated public bathroom across from the city university. It was at least a two minute wait after each use for the apparatus inside to sanitize the room. It was overkill. Like the machine was looking for ebola virus between crappers. I did not go inside, I had waited too long and just pissed along the subway tracks later. It was considered by the majority to be a failure. Often it was closed for repairs for days to weeks sometimes.  And it was a monetary boondoggle, a pit of taxpayers' dollars.

Boy I wish I had time to invent this: What's needed is something in-between filthy hard to maintain standard bathrooms and the expensive super bathroom with sanitary overkill.  What if a plastic glove could be attached to every wall, every floor, every ceiling of a bathroom expected to get high traffic? The grainy/bumpy anti-biotic plastic surfaces many children's' products are now made of, are graffiti proof from pens and pencils, and their design of increased surface area (the little bumps) cause wetness to dry quickly, which means bacteria and other waste is made harmless. But if this plastic was made glove-thin it would be ideal to form in the shape of toilets, paper dispensers, sinks, the trashcans, and shaped for every wall outlet, both sides of the door and door handles. Clear plastic vanity condoms shaped for the bathroom mirror can fit over a mirror in ten layers, peeled off to reveal a clear clean reflection. It would be about making maintenance of a bathroom a piece of cake. More accessible bathrooms for everyone as making them available would not be a pain in the ass for merchants who see the public. A gas station employee would grab a trash bag, throw open the door, make the hooker leave, then proceed to grab and pull the corners off of about 10-15 rubbers off the walls, the floor, the toilets, the urinal, the sink, the door handle, and grab the ceiling rubber by pulling a string. They could be decoratively printed. They could be solid colors, completely changing the appearance of a bathroom. They could be mix and match, mirrored surface condoms for mirrors, or walls or wherever, every surface capable of transferring bacteria to someone else can be peeled away and thrown out. And changing the bathroom walls colors and schemes could become addictive.

A giant carbon crushing machine that puts a diamond ring around our planet and cleans our atmosphere of everything bad.

Here's a science based fantasy that could be made a reality one day and save us and our planet: What if we built a machine, assembled in orbit, that removes billions and billions of tons of carbon from our atmosphere in a short time? What if we could solve climate change virtually overnight? What if the same machine became Earths' air filter for all harmful substances in our atmosphere? Of course, there's always been some carbon in the atmosphere because we are volcanic, but we leave safe and normal (before the industrial age) levels so as not to cause biological rapid evolutionary growth and mutations.

We build it in orbit because it's got to be huge. Too huge for structures to suspend the machine by materials and equipment in Earth gravity, one G. Along side the machine we build the space station that will tether the machine which will be lowered into the atmosphere and put into operation. The dream machine might weigh more than a skyscraper and be of similar size. It could be nuclear powered, but fusion powered would be better and that technology might be here by the time this idea gets any traction. It should lower from space to the highest altitude of a known air stream, where carbon combinations are brought high and travel attached to pollutants that also circulate in our lower atmosphere. It takes tremendous pressure and heat to squeeze pure carbon molecules into shards of diamond. A fusion reactor (still very experimental) could put out enough energy to create the incredible pressure necessary to transform the carbon molecules at a rate far faster than we can throw them into the air. Perhaps more than one machine and space station will be needed to beat the rate of carbon creation on Earth? We must be careful not to overheat the atmosphere with our desire to clean it. The waste will be one beautiful harmless thing, and one nasty black mess of goo composed of a bit of every living thing that has every lived on Earth that ever became airborne and stuck to the marvelous carbon atom. Imagine, this muck will be a little bit of ashes of great aunt Nancy, whose carbon/ashes were thrown to the wind in a beautiful ceremony with a clown and a new age  piano player. The muck will harden quickly on earth but until it does it will be hazardous waste like no one has ever seen. If the machine would pump this bad waste to a rural part of the planet, it could become a Kilimanjaro sized monument to life on Earth and the waste we put in our atmosphere. 

The beautiful harmless waste will be the pure carbon microscopic sized diamond flakes and shards and they like the bio-muck waste would also have to be placed somewhere. If we can direct all of the dust into stable orbit, we could build the most beautiful and spectacular intelligently constructed planetary ring ever seen in our galaxy. The diamond ring around around our planet could be built and added to by bringing the machine out of the atmosphere and into orbit where the permanent ring will be, and then discharge the pure carbon/diamond waste. It would be beyond beautiful. In space the diamond ring will be a shot for every alien's camera. For us on the ground a prism view through the receiving side of a rainbow of intricacy of the entire light spectrum would be viewable from everyone on Earth at once. From the ground a permanent rainbow that if built in a polar orbit will move across the land as the day proceeds! A rainbow clock, it's accuracy unquestioned, it's beauty paramount on Earth for civilizations after us to come.  It's nighttime view as it reflects lights from the other side of the planet will be incredible. The new diamond ring around Earth might just place our planet on the most beautiful planet in the galaxy list. It could be called the greatest work of art at Earth ever. It must be assembled broadly as a wide ribbon from pole to pole, and not thickly, so as not to turn the ring into a giant death ray (a magnifying glass) of heat and fire. Get to work someone else besides me!
