The BendDesk
The BendDesk brings Minority Report-like capabilities to your desktop, while bridging the horizontal and vertical planes of our work desks.

The "bend" is the 90-degree curve in the middle of the display. BendDesk can track up to ten fingers at once, and uses a combination of three cameras, two projectors and a bunch of infrared lights.

Solar Roof Water Heating

Water heating can take up nearly 20% of your home's energy usage. The Greenward Ridge Vent uses the entire roof as a heat collector to heat your water, but instead of having tubes over your entire roof, the Greenward tubes are installed just on the ridge.

And since you can cover the installation with the same shingles as the rest of the roof, there is no unsightly addition to your roof.

Heated water goes through a heat exchange and stores hot water in a tank that can then be drawn directly into your hot water thank.

Using Cinnamon to Produce Gold Nanoparticles

Researchers have found that instead of using toxic chemicals to product gold nanoparticles, they can use cinnamon.

Gold nanoparticles have the potential to detect tumors, search for oil, light the streets and cure diseases.

“Our gold nanoparticles are not only ecologically and biologically benign, they also are biologically active against cancer cells,” said Kattesh Katti, a professor of radiology and physics at the University of Missouri School of Medicine.

Drive Thru Legal Help in Connecticut
Drive thrus offer the ultimate convenience to individuals. They accommodate a society that wants to move as little as possible, so it only makes sense that a business with a drive thru window would have a leg up on the competition! The latest might surprise you..or not, because some in their industry will do anything to make a buck!

Walk-in Recipe Book Concept at Grocery Stores
Grocery shopping is tough! If you're like me, you likely come home with a fridge full of food but still have no idea what to make for dinner. That's because you know what components you're interested in purchasing; you just don't know what you should do with it. Yes, there are recipe books or meal planning businesses, but that's a heck of a lot of planning to do before you hit the supermarket aisles. Fortunately, an international business has a solution.

These are just a couple of ideas that caught our eye. Let us know what you think about them. What other innovative business ideas could you see working?

SIDE BUSINESS IDEAS

We would like to use this post to discuss some money making business ideas that we have tried or thought of.  Also we would like to here of some ideas you have had


IDEA #1   Raising organic vegetables-  You can buy kits online for mushroom/onion and other vegetable kits to grow in your basement and then sell to local reastauraunts.  This is a very low start-up cost but, could be hard to be successful and even if it was would not produce large profits.

IDEA #2   Making wooden furniture.  We have experimented with making barstools to sell on craigslist.  We built one, realized that we were not going to make a big profit and gave up.  However, if you already have all the tools you need and have access to cheap wood you could be successful.

IDEA #3   Buying/selling.   We have considered buying items of craigslist that we believe are good deals during the off-season and selling them during their respective peak seasons.  For example, we have a friend in Oklahoma that purchased a Sea-doo for $300, used it for a month, and then in the peak of summer sold it for $900!
We have other ideas in the making.... but we want to here YOUR ideas!

Johnny Light

Check out this new invention!
 A light that turns off when the toilet site is down.  No more annoying "fall ins", helps you find the can in the dark, and is a friendly reminder to put the seat down.

What we think-
First off, the video they have at the website is hilarious, watch it.

Is this a million dollar product/idea?  Probably not.  We feel that it would be much better marketed as an infomercial like the "snuggie" campaigns, and that would take a large outlay of cash from the get-go. We do not think it will take off into the next TV ad seller.  But... We want to know what YOU think!
