When we drive down the road, our mind is free to roam. Did you ever invent anything out of the ordinary?
Like answering machine for a CB radio. .Hi, you've reached northbound, I'm unable to answer your call, but if you leave a message after the beep, I'll call you back.Beep.

I would like to invent an air operated jack for the converter dolly (for doubles). Man, the jack on our converter dollies are very long winded. Takes forever to raise/lower the jack. It would be nice to plug in the air line on the gladhand on the back of the trailer, and just raise, or lower the converter dolly jack.

Sunday night, when I hook up my set, I'm gonna move the dolly crank handle to the side, and kick the jack, and see what happens. :P
Yeah, Yoopr, no joke. :shock:

Right next to the crank handle there should be a lever about 3 inches long that you can turn with your thumb while taking the tension off the wheel by cranking the handle. Now, maybe your dollies don't have this feature but most that have had the pleasure of dealing with do have it.

Create the Pet rock..make millions. oh darn it's already been made by some guy in the past..
hmm..how about a Semi engine that you can get at least 20miles per gallon? times that by a 100 gallon tank. Not bad lol. Did you know that a 747 Jet fully fueled..can make a normal family car go around the world 4 times! That's pretty impressive if you ask me. Now back to the subject..that would be my invention to have better fuel miliage for a semi, with all the power along with it. Go baby go! lol. |
