I was going to bump my original topic about this, but then I discovered that it was on the old forums. So never mind.

Anyway, I have a whole bunch of projects I'm working on. They are really ambitious projects, of course! Wall climbing gloves, web shooters, and Iron Man suits! After a long time of inactivity, I've finally continued with these projects! Here's my blog post all about it: http://ridiculous-inventions.weebly.com/1/post/2013/09/i-return.html

The next project I've decided upon is… a flying bike!

Yay this is still here! I forgot about it

lol i remember this

Old things, brought BACK TO LIFEE!!

Because this wasn't tried before the Wright brothers.

Nice! I've started to work on some things like that too lately. Good luck on your projects!

I've had this kind of crazy yet seemingly possible concept for a little while now. It's not an “invention” per se, but an extreme case mod. I'll try to get some sketches at some point soon, but the basic concept is a surface-like device based off of the 11“ MacBook Air guts, strapped on the back of a 13” MBA or possibly 15" MBP display along with a touchscreen digitizer. Ports would be rearranged so that some of them, especially Thunderbolt and Magsafe, woud go down into the base (probably the bottom of a MBP of the appropriate size and custom hinge) to connect to a battery and hard drive. Somewhat inspired by the Modbook Pro.

Me and my really little brother are working on making a paint gun right now. We are using one of those crayon shaped water gun things. We are going to put a small container, with two holes on the top and the bottom, on top of the tip where the air blows up, fill the top part with a reasonable amount of paint, pump it, and then see if some paint comes out.

Just as a clarification, this topic is specifically about my ridiculous inventions, which I talk about in detail on my blog (so I'll post a reply on here with a link to my latest blog post every time I update it), not ridiculous inventions in general. But thanks for the replies, everyone.

Lol, what do you mean?

I've posted another update! At last! http://ridiculous-inventions.weebly.com/1/post/2014/01/yet-again.html

Wow!

I wouldn't be wowing just yet… http://ridiculous-inventions.weebly.com/1/post/2014/02/it-failed.html

It seems like you could really do with a 3D printer and some CAD tools.

Yes, being able to 3D print all that would be extremely useful.

What's the name of those small explosive caps that you throw on the ground and they make a bang? They're for kids, I believe.

A Google search revealed that they are called Bang Snaps.
