Bar Smartphone

This is concept for a smartphone that is basically just a bar or a scroll. While you can't really watch movies on it, imagine just turning the phone to scroll down a page. Basically, an infinite scroll. If you are lazy then you could twist the knob on the side also.

This would fit in you pocket a lot better than a slab.

Dual-Screen Laptop/Tablet Hybrid (The SlantBook)

If large screen mobile devices were made correctly they would be made like this. 

A tablet is useless as a functional machine. If you use a keyboard then you eliminate half of the screen to use it, and it is just uncomfortable. A tablet with a keyboard attached is just a wimpy laptop. But laptops are limited by their physical keyboard, and it is stupid to put a touchscreen on a laptop, or a desktop for that matter, if it doesn't become a tablet.

My solution is to create a hybrid that utilizes 2 screens. At any given time one can be used as a display and the other as a dynamic keyboard. Or you can flip it 90 degrees and have a book shaped e-reader, or add a keyboard and you have a dual monitor system. But if you just want a tablet then you can flip the first screen all the way around and hold the thing by the spine which functions as a handle so your hands don't cramp and you don't smudge the screen. This also lets you 'flip' between screens without having to use processing to move from one page to another, you physically turn back to something else.

When your all done you fold it closed and you don't need to buy an accessory to protect the screen.

This is how large-screen mobile devices should be made. Apple and Windows are both wrong.

A CAD model of the sketch

Note: I recently discovered the Lenovo Yoga Tablet, which is very similar to my concept but without the possibility of the twin screens. They do have a projector built in, a nice touch.

Mid-Air Holographic Display

Was thinking about how to make a dynamic hologram. This is what I came up with. Constructive interference of light beams to create in air pixels.

Touch-Activated Drawer

 A little bit of overkill. But hey we live in a smart world, why can't we have smart drawers.

This idea is for a touch activated automatic drawer. The only practical need for this would be in a place like hospitals or messy kitchens, where handles create too much of a germ catching risk.

Cheap Recordable E-Paper

This idea is basically for an E-paper Etch-N-Sketch that records the drawings afterward.

This would allow for people to draw and sketch on something like a kindle and then save their sketches. A digital pencil and paper that is more comfortable and cheaper than a normal tablet.

Star Trek "Tribble" Robot

This was a sketch of basically a real version of a Star Trek Tribble. It would basically be a ball that could either roll or hop around and react to people touching and petting it.

The only problem. What to do when the hair needs cleaned form rolling on the floor all day.

Several variations of a "Tribble" robot

Slow Charge Release Capacitor Bank

Here are a series of pictures from my sketchbook.

This one is the concept of building a bank of capacitors to function as a battery. Instead of trying to build one giant capacitor, combine hundreds and just have them fire sequentially. This way it is possible to maintain a voltage while not discharging entirely in just a few minutes. If used in cars these will also be able to take great advantage of regenerative braking
