New Product Idea?

[2468]

Hey guys,

I'm currently working on a marketing project, and I have to come up with a completely new product, i.e. a product that doesn't exist at all in the market. Does anyone have any ideas? It has to be a product that can be used in reality. Your help will be appreciated.

Thanks.

mini-windscreen wipers for spectacle wearers?

I bet someone's done that, alba! I'd like a dog poo cleaner upper that means people don't have to hang poo in plastic bags in the hedge :-(

Hi albaqwerty, thanks, but those already exist. Its a nerve cracking project this is.

While looking for printer cartridges today I came across a Kodak printer that generates its own WiFi. That got me thinking. If the components are of a suitable size, wouldn't it be great to have them in mobile phones?

PS That's my idea. You can't have it.

Something to crack fresh eggs and separate the yolk from the white.

A gadget which measures your feet. You can take it with you when you visit shoe shops to pop into the shoes you might like to buy to scan their insides to see if they might exactly fit your feet. Saves time trying on dozens of pairs of shoes. Useful especially for people with not-ordinary feet.

Bookbinder no this is a university project.

''Does anyone have any ideas?''

If I did, and they were truly unique, I wouldn't be telling anyone else about it - especially on a public forum.

Thanks for your input snags x

A more serious suggestion:
There's a thing going around Yahoo and YouTube about an effective room heater which consists of four tea lights in a baking tray with two inverted flowerpots on top. From the coverage I've seen it does actually work. OK, you won't be sat there in t-shirt and shorts, but it keeps the room warm enough and they reckon that - based on a bag of 100 Ikea tea lights for £1 - it would cost about 8p a day to keep a room warm.
Only thing is, the baking tray and inverted flowerpots are a bit rough and ready. A properly designed unit (possibly sold with a stock of tea lights) might be a seller?

"Something to crack fresh eggs and separate the yolk from the white."

Tip the open egg into you hand and let the white run between your fingers. Simple.
