Something like an EMP (electromagnetic pulse) generator? The military has small ones that are powered by high explosives.
Can a laser reach far enough into the skin to heat up the follicle without causing collateral damage to the skin? The follicles are fairly deep. I've seen ads for laser hair removal salons, but I've always wondered about this. And I'm assuming that it only works on darker hairs that will absorb the laser's energy rather than reflect it back.

and the pet peeve threads.I can think of a number of things that the world needs that don't seem to exist yet. How about you?
Right off the bat -
A flash drive that allows the user to snap apart the USB controller from the memory. Thus if the controller blows out, you can resurrect the data by plugging in another one. I've lost two flash drives to controller failures so far.
A shoe sole that can maintain traction on ice and on hard floors. Right now it seems to be one or the other.
I've used medical style cotton swabs for cleaning things. They have a wooden stick amd the cotton is tightly wrapped, leaving less fuzz behind after cleaning. The sticks aren't that sturdy but I prefer the tighter cotton on the heads. They come in paper packages of 100 designed for autoclaving. I've used them extensively for cleaning VCR internals where there are lots of sharp metal things that can cause snags.And I guess I can add what I'd like to see:
Industrial / shop strength Q-tips:
- #1 would be a swab of coarser cotton securely bonded to a slim but stiff wooden shaft. Much more useful than current Q-tips for cleaning firearm internals / bike parts / etc.
- #2 would be a similar swab but using brass or even steel wool instead, for more recalcitrant applications.
Industrial / shop strength Q-tips:
...
a plastic shaft with a wire core. Stiff enough for general use, but also being bendable to get into tighter locations.
A cruise control that, when 'resume' is pressed, will gradually ramp back up to the intended speed rather than gunning the engine to get to the target speed as fast as possible.
Great post, Flea Bag!I've stayed up all night and now my post is too long.
LOL - love the idea of a small mobile device zapping everything from a rat to an elephant.... mobile units can be upgraded to zap rats, poisonous snakes, hostile and nearly extinct jungle tigers, elephants or even terrorists.
I live in a very rural area, and have a BIG problem
with MICE chewing on the wiring in my automobile.
