September 2015 – ideaphore

Hi ideapholk,

Here’s a collection of the top free ideas posted on ideaphore in August. These are free ideas, so you are free to use them. If you do use them, or repeat them somewhere, make sure that you give credit to the original author. And if you want to work with any of the authors to build the ideas they’ve posted, contact us – that’s what we’re here for.

Congrats to all, especially user Jhebner for grabbing three spots in this month’s top picks. Here they are in some particular order:

a new way to give tactile feedback to wearers of robotic prosthetic limbs for#Robotics #Prosthetics @Bebionic @HDTglobal – posted by jonniedarko

Fascinating. Instead of trying to change sensory information into digital information, just move the physical sensation from the robotic side to the nerves on the remaining limb. It’ll take some getting used to, sure, but might be worth it. JonnieDarko attached the above drawing of a robotic hand with hydraulic actuators at the finger tips and moving paddles at the other end, which attaches to the remaining limb. This is a great example of an ideaphore idea. Anyone have the means to test this out? Any prosthetics users out there think this might work?

An idea for @iFixit to make screw-organizer repair maps. – posted by OmegaMan

I really like this idea. I make one of these whenever I do a repair with a lot of tiny screws. My drawings are usually crude and confusing. But the system works. It would be much easier if ifixit made it. They already take the devices apart and they probably draw a lot bette than I do. Maybe they can make a free version available on the site that you could just print and punch your own holes in for one-time repairs. Or they could sell pre-punched corrugated cardboard for people who do the same repair often. OmegaMan didn’t post a picture, but here’s a photo of one of my old screw organizer maps from a macbook pro repair I did a while ago. If I could buy one of these for my frequent repairs, I would.

An idea for a better breast pump for @medela, @ameda, @evenflobaby – posted by mom2cubz

Include a rolling mechanism in the flanges? This makes all the sense.

#EnergyDrink “Blinker Fluid.” – posted by Jhebner

A funny name for an energy drink that uses a run-on gag from the automobile world. “See?” they’d say. “It does it exist.”

Advanced sidescrolling business profiles for sponsored results on @Google. – posted by Jhebner

If I were you Google, I’d contact this guy ASAP.

An idea for a complete multi-zone heat and cold therapy helmet for #Migraine Treatment – posted by ekaw83

This should exist. Why does this not exist yet?

An idea for a cool twist on the reason we have coffee in the mornings for someone to use in a #coffee #advertisement – posted by steveorst

People love a twist. Maybe get M. Night Shyamalan to direct it. If you want to use this idea, I suggest you work with steveorst, he could come up with some more good “getting ready for work” tropes I bet.

An idea for a puncturable pouch of mouthwash under a disposable coffee cup @Listerine – posted by Jhebner

There are just so many options that come to mind when you read this idea. Listerine could perhaps partner with starbucks and throw one of these under their cups or even just attach a breath strip on the side. Well done.
