You can tell how crazy an EDC person is based on how much of their carried items pic is focused on the gun. If it's front and center and out of the holster, they care more about showing you that they wanna kill someone than having 10 screwdrivers for any screw driving occasion.

They also got the holster from an ergonomic gun holster EDC kickstarter.

Apparently you've never met a lady who is ready for everything. A lady who can pull mints, a screwdriving, a full makeup kit, a notebook, loving pruning shears, etc. out of her cavernous handbag.

I am that lady! My own everyday (EDC?) handbag is 12” x 17” x 4”! That’s an inch shorter and an inch narrower than the Balenciaga shown in the photo.

And I could fit three or four of them in an IKEA bag.

Who wants all the benefits of Chiropractic for a fraction of the cost? And by a fraction I mean 70 US dolleridoos. Maybe the spinepoker9000 is right for you! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1740872294/isospine-trigger-point-therapy-to-stretch-out-your-back

What sort of people need their spine poked? I'm glad you asked!



Sure, you've seen various back pillows before, the the spinepoker leaves dents so you know it's working.



The dents of pain relief, somehow? Dude looks a little bruised, but I'm sure that's just more evidence of pain relief. Like a bed of nails without the risk of tetanus. Fantastic!

This sort of poo poo is extremely popular with the alternative medicine crowd. My dad is unfortunately into it and has a bunch of nails, spiky mats and weird pillows, so this is really just a slight variation on existing nonsense.

Me: "But foam rollers exist, firm ones knead your back muscles more than enough, and you can use them for more than just your back. There are also the bigger half-circle things that you can use specifically for the spine."

Regenerative car: self powered car
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/corkum/regenerative-car-self-powered-car/description

What would a permanent solution look like? ELECTRIC! I saw the electric vehicles plugged into the wall, and I thought that has to be a better way!
I was driving with my hand out of the window, when it hit me, why don't we use this free wind power! It is certainly strong enough to harness!
That is where I need your help! I have the Idea and a mechanical background, but I need assistance to get my Idea into reality! After we Design the Car of the Future, we are going to use these cars as mobile power plants, able to power someones home while in the garage.

Risks and challenges
So our most dangerous risk is strong competition, the current giants in the auto industry, and powerful gas companies. If we can not make an impact quickly, we could get muscled out, and the change we want to see may never come.

New Age Detector
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/jsa97/new-age-detector
As the name describes, this device would be used to alert people (both in homes and public restroom facilities) whether it was just occupied and whether the odor remains. We can use two simple colors, such as green and red, to represent positive and negative: whenever green appears, the bathroom is safe to use / odorless, and if red appears, the bathroom / stall contains a stench that needs to be waited out. I believe this device has the potential to be successful because of how public facilities have a reputation for being unsanitary; at least using this odor detector, they can escape criticism and serve as a warning for others. We're also working on enacting a mechanism onto this invention that allows a dispenser of a positive fume to counteract the bad odor and speed up the waiting time.

Years ago on either History or Discovery Channel I saw Michio Kaku backing a car that ran on compressed air that also had an onboard compressor to compress air as it went so it never ran out of compressed air to power it.

Thank you for your input Joerg! Thank you far taking the time to message us with your critic and an encouraging word. I do not see this as trying to break the 1st law, because it is not a closed system. I am taking potential energy from outside the system, if 1 is not enough I can incorporate more generators. But I need to test this, also we currently have low air flow through a radiator (in the front of the car), where we will have much more air flow with a channel for air to pass through and affect our fans in order to generate electricity. I do not think I will be sacrificing aerodynamics to do it.
Don't worry everyone, if one turbine adds too much drag to offset the power it generates, he'll just add more until it works.

I want to see this guy test his design in a wind tunnel and get super excited over how well it works.
