Thinking of things to buy…

I will have 900RM by next Monday. And I wonder what to buy if anything at all. Thought I would get a rubber strap for my diver at just 100RM. There’s also a sale on the GXW5600 tide / moonphase, circa 200RM. A real steal if it’s genuine.

I was thinking of the ultimate low cost bicycle. One you can park anywhere and nobody would steal, or you’d get a free replacement immmediatey. It would also be light and comfortable to ride.

It has no chain and no wheels, just a rotating frame on rollers. It has no seat. But has handlebars that are fixed in place. I will try to illustrate:


A bike of this design can be made for about 50RM or $12. I was also thinking of car parking. There is a need for more slots. This can be done by selective road closure at peak hours. Parkers on the left leave soon, parkers on the right leave late. Parkers in the middle-right just stop by for 10 minutes. Something like that.

And I was thinking of self-driving cars again. There should be a heart rate detector in the seatbelt and a headband that allows the car to send errors, warnings, danger, to the passenger / driver, and to interpret his response even if he were resting or reading or using his phone.

The key to electric cars, or ev, is the motor and battery. The battery needs to be very small in discharging and very large in charging, a 2 stage potential difference. The motor of the ev needs to be very long, with an armature which expands and contracts. In this way, the motor is easy and cheap to make, as are the batteries. And safe from explosions too. I will illustrate: 

The battery works  better than conventional designs by division / leveraging on torque. This makes it possible to be simpler to manufacture for low cost ev, and also provides greater efficiency at the higher end of ev.


Having a cash surplus this month, I have decided to buy something nice for myself, after all the gratis / free innovating suggestions. Will go on Shopee now.
