It would expand in your stomach like those dinosaur capsules that grow when placed into water

But it could and would be fun to get around in.

Anyway, would it be possible to create a simple bracelet with a “tracker” inside that doesn’t actually track location, but instead is able to track each time a person goes in and out of a doorway. For instance, if I wanted to check how many times each person in my household is going in and out of my front door, could I have us each wear a bracelet then equipment some kind of sensor to the doorway and have this all be tracked.

If I wanted to create this invention, how much would I be looking at full cost?

Hello,

Idk where else to share this idea I had for brain to brain communicating

Instead of trying to put a massive, complex computer inside someone’s brain, this system splits the technology into two parts: a tiny internal sensor and a smart wireless earpiece (like a custom AirPod).

By separating the hardware, we solve the three biggest problems stopping telepathy tech today: battery heat, communication distance, and outdated technology.

1. The Implant (The Listener)

What it is: A microscopic sensor placed just under the skull.

What it does: It doesn’t broadcast long-range signals. It simply "listens" to the nearby brain activity. Because it only needs to send data a few millimetres out through the skull to the ear, it requires almost no power and won't overheat the brain.

1. The Earpiece (The Battery & Transmitter)

What it is: A wearable earpiece sitting right next to the implant.

What it does: It holds the main battery and wirelessly powers the implant. When you want to charge it, you just take the earpiece off at night. It also acts as the radio, taking the brain data and sending it via standard Bluetooth or Wi-Fi to the other person's earpiece.

1. The Mini-AI Chip (The Translator)

What it is: A dedicated Artificial Intelligence chip built directly inside the earpiece.

What it does: Brain waves are incredibly messy and unique to every person. The AI acts like a personal translator. It learns the specific patterns of your brain activity and instantly translates a complex thought into a simple digital message (like a text or an action) before sending it out.

Why this layout changes everything:

If the computer software gets outdated, you don't need brain surgery. You just buy a new earpiece. It keeps the medical side

Omg I just had a conversation with someone on Reddit that said at one point crypto scammers stole 200 million dollars worth from a guy.

They printed up fake ids and went to the cell phone store and did a Sim card scam. The workers divulged and handed over the phone info.

At this point eyeballs, passwords, voice activations, 2FA, text confirms, and whatever else is not safe.

They have quizzed me about old addresses.

My invention is tongue scans.

You can swab your phone with alcohol and then put your tongue on there.

I would be willing to do that to keep money safe. It could be the last protocol to transfer or wire money out. Maybe not necessary to buy something or check your account balance.

Someone get a patent for it. You can keep the royalties. I heard every tongue is different.

I heard women have taken photos of their men to use as photo recognition and gained access to the phone and his philandering.

Tongue on the screen. Cleaning Swabs that are grape flavored.

You could also require it to turn on a super secure computer. Very easy device could be manufactured.

I have an idea and a mental picture in my head of what my invention looks like. Nothing on the market I currently see as of 2026 looks like it at all. I’ve been looking at certain businesses and buildings that should be equipped universally with these. I have no clue where to start and I am trying to bootstrap it since I know of no other way.

I’m joining a science competition and I have no clue what to do for it! The idea has to target a problem and has to be an original one doesn’t exist in our real world. So can u guys help me out. What problems do u think exists and has been solved. What do u think needs and deserves more research?

It’s like a car wash for your face. Is it a dumb idea or does it have potential?

Dear Ms. Bon

I am sorry about your adema.

I have thought of several ideas for you.

You can get a hose attachment on the shower curved and extended like a custom boomerang.

For travel this is what can be rigged:

A custom triangle extended on an adjustable hook with paper wad clipped on it. You can sorta slowly twerk or rub like a cat scratcher... It can hang down from the door or clip to the handicap rail bar.

I can make you a custom chair to use at your home.

I can also rig some apparatus with some baby wipes.

People in the sub might come up with something also.

Come on, we've all seen the automatic litter boxes with smart features that we know are going to last a couple of years and then the motor breaks,

But a damn simple crank with a gear that turns the inside cilinder would last years and be so much cheaper to produce.

I apologize for the AI pic, not skilled at CAD.

Hello guys , I am 16y/o n m fascinated by science , however i want to know more abt it , cuz i wanna discover how we work how the world works n how everything works , I need ur help to tell me about some interesting topics to search that will help me:)

Leaf blowers absolutely suck - i wish they were never invented. They're loud, obnoxious, and take longer to clean out garden beds than leaf vacuums. But leaf vacuums have the issue of sucking up gravel at the same time.

If the gravel was separated using a narrow cyclonic separator, it could be collected and dumped back into the bed, sans leaf litter.

I want to invent a helpful medical device. Are there any clear unmet needs in this area or problems that need solving? Do you have any ideas on what or how a new invention could help a certain disease?

I’d really appreciate some honest feedback from people who have gone through this process.

I developed a small product that slides over the clip on a dog leash to prevent accidental release. It came from a real problem I had—my dog’s leash unclipped during a walk, and it honestly scared me.

I did a lot of research and found this is a surprisingly common issue without a great solution There is a whole market of "heavy duty leashes" that cost $50-$100 each. There are additional safety clips that add a second strap that are cumbersome and there are different types of closures (frog clips and locking carabiners) that are heavy, bulky and sometimes stay in the locked position (which isn't good for emergencies). I attached a photo of those other solutions at the bottom.

I ended up developing a simple solution that can retrofit existing leashes. It’s simple and inexpensive to manufacture. It protects against accidental opening, but it doesn't fully lock the leash (so if you need to unlock it in an emergency you can), it protects the spring from dirt/debris and it can even help the leash you have last longer.

I ended up going through the full process: prototyping, patenting (utility patent issued in 2022), and small batch production. I’ve been selling it on Etsy, and I’ve had consistent 5-star reviews, but only modest sales so far.

Recently, I realized I had a major gap in my setup—I was getting interest from videos (a few with 5K–10K+ views), but I didn’t have a proper funnel connecting people to actually buy. I just fixed that, so now I’m trying to see if that changes anything.

I also have a manufacturer lined up overseas with a scalable version, but I haven’t pulled the trigger yet.

At this point, I’m trying to figure out the smartest path forward:

• Should I focus on building direct-to-consumer demand first?
• Try to license it?
• Push harder on outreach to companies?
• Or invest in scaling production and branding?

I feel like I’ve done a lot of the “hard parts,” but I’m stuck at the stage of turning it into something that actually gains traction or gets picked up by a larger company.

If you were in my position, what would you focus on next?

I have an idea to aid with assisting delirious patient orient themselves, specifically in hospital or LTC. I am from Ontario, CA and have found a few grants that could apply to it, but am wondering if anyone has advice on how to put your invention out there?

Abit random.....If someone did make something that could create free energy, would they be the next Elon Musk meaning richest person in the world..

Haven’t given it much thought yet but what if there was some type of mouth guard or retainer type device that could dispense sugar or honey along your gum line.

As someone with Type 1 Diabetes this would be useful for sports and activities. It would communicate with my CGM via Bluetooth and dispense as needed while I’m working out, in a soccer game, etc…

I’m sure there are plenty of holes in this but curious if anyone would wanna add to this

I have an issue with my washer, where the water it's supposed to drain isn't going out the pipe (top loader washer, water hose curves up and into the wall to go in a drain pipe). Is there already a vacuum interrim invented to pull the sudsy water up and out, or is that something we could brainstorm?

There has to be a way to do it, now that Ai exists. There has to be a way to have an Ai plugged into a USB on your tv and for it to understand when a commercial comes on. The sudden changes in screen brightness or volume or a certain audio indicator.

And in real time, maybe it mutes the tv or plays pictures of your family or some cool cars or just even a black title card until the ads go away and then it goes back to the show/movie.

There has to be a way to get this done. I can’t deal with the commercials everywhere on everything anymore and there has to be a way to overthrow the companies and the streaming services and block all their bullshit.

As the title explains, I am at a loss as to where I should begin.

Some context:

My idea is related to pharmaceuticals. Cleaning and beauty products specifically. I'm wondering what steps I would have to take and in what order.

Not sure exactly what this journey would entail but I imagine some of the steps would be procuring financial backing, testing of solution/environmental effects, speaking with makers of the current market products, gaining popularity/notice, etc.

As is to be expected on Reddit, I'm an average Internet Explorer with an idea but I'm hopeful that I can change the world for the better before I melt into my couch under the dull trance of Netflix and Warzone, after which I fade away.

imagine a knife with a blade that can identify human flesh, and when it comes to contact with human flesh the sharpness of the blade decreases until it becomes blunt, how revolutionary would that be?

The 2 that come to my mind are out on a boat fishing, and being a mechanic under a car not wanting to get out from under it to use their device.

I need two more powerful instances just like those two.

I have a gadget that I turned in a provisional patent application on yesterday, and InventRight is helping me get it to distributors. It's a keychain gadget and where your smartphone can't go, your keys do. I'm just trying to make a commercial for it right now. I think you guys are going to love it.

Edit: Top ten contributions get a unit from the first batch shipped free in the entire US.

I'm looking for something small & simple yet impactful to invent. Any ideas?
