Invention Needed: Orbital Winding jig/device for Guitar Magnetic Pickups 10 22 2020

 Invention Needed:   Orbital Winding jig/device for Guitar Magnetic Pickups 10 22 2020

If you watch youtube videos of guitar pickups being wound what you see is that the wire breaks a lot of the times.

The way that you could solve this problem is by taking the "cam" action out of the winding device by making it "dual orbital"; whereby the wired being wound is never subject to "Crests" as it is being spun on the pickup.  So that the tensile strength of it is never put tot he test.  Essentially it means that as the end of the pickup is coming to the twelve oclock wind position that the orbit distance from the spool the wire is being wound from is decreasing.  And as the winding is coming to the six oclock position the orbit is moving away from the spool.  Thereby achieving constant winding tension.

And perhaps someone already thought of this and that is how they do it in the industry.  But are there jibs for the home enthusiast?

Sport Utility Vehicle Upgrade for Fishermen 03 13 2019

Sport Utility Vehicle Upgrade for Fishermen 03 13 2019

There ought to be a Second Battery Tray on a Sport Utility Vehicle.  So that you can take the BATTERY you use for your Electric Trolling Motor out of your boat and Charge it up on the way home with your Sport Utility Vehicle's Alternator!

The sooner you recharge a battery the better it is for the battery.  Now it might not charge it up all the way but at least it is a start.

The same could be accomplished via a cable back to the battery from the car.  But that would need to be extremely fault tolerant in order to prevent stalls on the highway from a bad connection.  A mechanical switch might facilitate it?

And the system could be put in divert mode whereby power to things like the radio and accessories on the car were minimized while it is in charge mode.

Assuming the alternator has enough power to do this.

Invention Needed A Casting Reel where the level wind system disengages after retrieve and folds out and away from the spool 11 02 2018

Invention Needed A Casting Reel where the level wind system disengages after retrieve and folds out and away from the spool 11 02 2018


Invention Needed A Casting Reel where the level wind system disengages after retrieve and folds out and away from the spool.

This would allow for an open spool free of the level wind system during the cast!  Granting longer casts because. 1.  There is no friction of the gears as they run the level wind system on cast.  2.  There is no interference with the line feeding out by the level wind eyelet.

Ocean surf casting reels operate without a level wind system at all.  However the user is required to manually spool the line during retrieve.  By using the hand that is holding the rod to guide the line in evenly on the spool.  That sounds completely arthritic to me!

But what if the level wind system did that for you and was hinged on the side opposite the retrieve handle?  Also the line would come out of the level wind eyelet as the hinge is moved out to the left for the casting position?

It would seem to me to be the best of both worlds.

The button that disengages the spool could also release the level wind bar from the side by the reel handle.  Spring loaded it would hinge to the left on a right handed reel and lock in place.  Perhaps the level wind eyelet would also separate at the top and move forward before the level wind bar swung to the left.  The rest of the cast is the same.

Another way it could be accomplished is for the level wind eyelet to separate in two and retract down into the bar.  Thereby being below the level where the line feeds out on cast.

The level wind eyelet itself could fold downward and lock in place there upon cast.  Perhaps always being split on the top of it.

Invention Needed: Rivet on Feet 07 05 2018

Invention Needed:  Rivet on Feet 07 05 2018

Ever make something?  Perhaps a Desk Clock case or something that stands on a table or kitchen counter?

And you ask yourself, "How easy would it be if I could just drill a hole and rivet on a foot for it in two steps?

Rivet on "feet".  Would be just that.  You would use a rivet gun.

The feet could be made of rubber, Polyurethane or something with felt bonded to it.

Wouldn't that be great?

You could buy a bag of 50 of them from China (or America) for $3.00?

I don't see anything like that on the market today.

They could come in 1/8" and larger 1/4" rivet size.

I riveted a handle onto my metal garbage can with a 1/4" Rivet and it has lasted and looks like it will continue to last.  A spot weld didn't.

Inventions Needed: Fixed Barrel Handgun with non contiguous cylinder 03 07 2018

Inventions Needed:  Fixed Barrel Handgun with non contiguous cylinder 03 07 2018

In this type of gun the cylinder would not be a cylinder but rather more like a chain belt or linkage.  Whereby the cylinder could hold more cartridges.  But the main advantage being that 1. the barrel is fixed and therefore more accurate and 2.  that there is no loss of muzzle velocity through blowback recoil.

Indeed the chain cylinder could be fed from a standard magazine.  The cylinder could also perhaps just be three cartridges capacity and fed from the magazine.  A Four cylinder would seem to be the most ideal as the top cylinder bullet is firing the bottom cartridge is being loaded.

It amazes me why no one has ever perfected this before?

Upon firing a round and cylinder rotation the spend cartridge could be ejected in a downward directional manner.

The 3rd main advantage being that it has a higher capacity than a revolver.

There is also another 4th main advantage to it.

The 5th main advantage would be that this design would also make on of the best known army rifles there is!  For the above reasons.

So the search term to look for to see if it has been done before would be "cartridge fed revolver."

© 2018 Thomas Murphy

Looks like it has!  The design looks a little clumsy though.

https://www.google.com/search?q=cartridge+fed+revolver&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-b-1-ab

No, that isn't really a magazine fed revolver because it doesn't use standard cartridges and the revolver isn't a cylinder.  It is a cylinder with gapped sides.  So indeed no one has perfected this.

One would think that it would be a very simple problem to invent one with very few moving parts.  Would be a great project for an engineering contest.

I saw an old woman driving in  car today.  On the back of her car was a sticker or two that indicated she had three advanced engineering degrees.  I thought to myself, "There isn't anything that I couldn't design more intelligently than you and engineer better."  To me that statement just represents reality.  And is indeed supported by my lifetime experience.

A Slotted Ball/Cylinder Clevis for Fishing Lures 01 16 2018

A Slotted Ball/Cylinder Clevis for Fishing Lures 01 16 2018

This would be a clevis that is either a ball or a cylinder with a slot in it.  The spinning blade would fit into that slot which is affixed on the side of the ball cylinder.  And those two items would be fitted over and onto the wire shaft of the lure; the hole in the spinner blade aligned with to and over the wire shaft.

Also there could be more than one slot for the accommodation of more than one spinning blade.

Novel interpretations could include a collar that fits over the top to make the blades interchangeable by the user after completion.  Such that the hole in the blade fits over the top eyelet screw.

The ball/cylinder could be made from nylon or metal, or other materials with the appropriate material strength parameters.

There could be some slack in the slot in order to facilitate a rattle in conjuction with the blade spinning attraction.

And the downward angle of the slot could be chosen so that different degrees of spin are fixed.  Most likely 45 degrees.

The purpose of the invention is to assure that the spinner blade is always spinning during fishing retrieve.

The invention could also include an arm extending from the ball/cylinder with a secure clasp and over-mold to the tip of the spinner blade that has the "eyelet hole" in it.

Patent/ process to be applied for when funded.

Inventions Needed : Marine inline fuel filter that is made strongly of metal and wont pull apart 12 14 2017

Inventions Needed : Marine inline fuel filter that is made strongly of metal and wont pull apart 12 14 2017

To be mounted inline just off the portable gas tank hose.
It would have to also be high flow model with no increase in fuel pump pressure required.
It would save intricate and costly replacement of fuel filter located in the outboard.
I would think a standard clam shell type metal fabricated seam would not be strong enough and eventually wobble/weasel apart.
So this would have to be perhaps a screw on cap to it that has one or more orings and a set screw, it would also have to be tamper resistant.  And could or could not incorporate replaceable internal filter elements.  Also it should not be so awkward that it causes separation of gas line from tank.

You know come to think of it all marine tanks should likely be made with this feature incorporated into the top of the plastic shell of them.  Whereby there are mounting brackets and a fuel filter that is safely housed in all means as mentioned above.

One final note, I think that a marine gas can should be made so that a 300 pound man could stand on it.  And it should have a flat top with an inset handle.

Inventions Needed: Novel Electric Trolling Motor 12 05 2017

Inventions Needed: Novel Electric Trolling Motor 12 05 2017

This would be a trolling motor that would mount to the back of your transom to one side.  The housing of it would not be able to turn.  However the motor could be lowered or raised to allow better use and efficiency of your Gas outboard or Inboard Outboard.

So how would you turn with an electric that is in a fixed position left and right?  Turning would be handled by water channeling through to the propellor.  There would be a dampener on each front side of a cylinder that encapsulates the electric motor head.  When both both dampeners are open the electric travels straight.  When the left dampener is open an underwater Bernoulli effect hydrodynamic would likely be created that channeled the water from the prop more to one side.  In effect a vacuum effect.water being drawn in from that side moves the boat in the direction the water is being drawn in from, exactly the same as how a thruster works.

The motor could be controlled by a wireless remote control held in the hand.  A dial would control left or right.  This type of motor would also serve as a secondary propulsion for shallow water travel such as up a shallow river.

Inventions Needed: A Roll of Tape that bends to easily form letters for stencil painting over 12 01 2017

Not much I need to say about this.  You could use it to form B's, C's, D's R's S's.

Prime something white, wait for it to cure,  apply your tape lettering, paint a contrasting color over it, remove tape, and you have just labeled something.

Haven't seen anything on the market like it yet.  I won't get credit for it.  Instead credit will go to some disingenuous person of the "Burial Group."  (Burial Groups were the first Corporations in history?)  And the ubiquity of that is how God forsaken our country has become.

Invention Needed: A DSLR aiming peep hole sight that attaches to the hot shoe of your DSLR Camera 11 22 2017

Invention Needed: A DSLR aiming peep hole sight that attaches to the hot shoe of your DSLR Camera 11 22 2017

This would allow you to take pictures of birds flying in the sky and not fall down while doing so.  Because you would not have to hold the camera up to your eye to aim, you could hold it away from your face and align the peep hole with the bird and push the shutter button.

The hot shoe of the camera is on top of the camera and can be used to attach accessories.  But I have never seen a remote aiming peep hole or rod hole on the top of one.

I would patent this if my mind was distraction free of voices and I was therefore able to.  I suppose you think I don't like money?  I suppose you think I don't believe one should strive to earn their way as an adult in life?  That is what you think of me?

An OTF knife that sharpens the blade everytime it is deployed 09 26 2017

An OTF knife that sharpens the blade everytime it is deployed 09 26 2017

This could be achieved by having 4 ceramic plates mounted in angled channels in the front of the knife.  The channels they are mounted in configured so that the proper sharpening of the double edged blade would be achieved every time the blade is deployed.  The ceramic inserts would be spring loaded to ensure that there is pressure applied in order to sharpen the blade with the ceramic inserts.

Direct Injection Motorcycle 08 05 2017

Direct Injection Motorcycle 08 05 2017

I always heard the saying loud pipes save lives which is in favor of loud traditional motorcycles.  The Police used to ticket people who drove cars that had an exhaust leak and were very loud, they likely still do.

My outboard motor is a Direct Injection 25 horsepower and it is very fast.  It is also very quiet!!!  It weighs about 160 pounds.  I have to wonder how fast it would be in a motorcycle?

But one of the reasons I like it is because it is quiet.  I for the life of me don't understand how riding a motorcycle would be any different.  To get off of one of those things after it being that loud all day?  You have to have a certain degree of deafness.  Now tell me this, HOW IS OPERATING A MOTORCYCLE WITH A CERTAIN DEGREE OF DEAFNESS GOOD FOR YOUR LONGEVITY?  It doesn't make sense does it.  If you need the cars to hear you then you are not operating it defensively as you should.

The real reason you like it loud is because you like to cause trouble?  I have to wonder how many motorcycle riders were known to be that type of trouble in their lives?

Also ever go out to the country and someone has put a glass pack loud muffler system on their truck?  To me that is terrorizing the neighborhood.

Is a direct oil injection motorcycle even made?  It would be less polluting and more energy efficient.

You would have to compare motorcycle accidents on loud bikes versus motorcycle accidents on more quiet bikes.  I'll bet you a buck the quiet ones have fewer accidents.

******'

What if every small town in the United States had to have a breakfast house were everyone had to try a hand at working at at some point in their lives?  I think that would bring back what America is supposed to be.  This would have to occur is a post alcohol world though. 

Is a German American really even a German?  Are they really an American?

*****'

So does anyone make a direct injection motorcycle?

https://www.google.com/search?q=direct+injection+motorcycle&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8

******'

How many car accidents do loud motorcycles cause?
How many shop accidents as the person working on the machine tool is distracted by the noise of one?
How many kids in school are distracted from learning when they hear one going through their neighborhood?  Do you want to know something?  There is nothing the mentally deficient like better than a distraction in a learning environment!

*****'
Main point?  How can you get off of a loud motorcycle after a day of riding and not have a pounding headache from the noise of it? Irritable when someone asks you something because you can't hear?

Generator and Alternator Technology  08 02 2017

How much more efficient could a Generator or Alternator be if it was designed to reduce friction from air inside of the Gen/Alt?  That would mean smooth surfaces.  But it could also mean CREATING A VACUUM inside of the Gen/alt!  You would have no air friction what soever or heat from that if you created a vacuum inside of it.

Inventions Needed: Lawn Mower Improvements 07 09 2017

Inventions Needed: Lawn Mower Improvements 07 09 2017

A lawnmower should also have a secondary blower that propels the cut grass from out and under of the "Umbrellla" chamber of the mower.  This would allow the mower to maintain blade sharpness.  This would allow the motor to stay clean on the underside more readily.

So how would you engineer it?

It could be an offshoot gear off of the main drive.  But in any case you want to engineer that blower so that it doesn't require much force from the main power in order to be able to turn it.  Perhaps the it diverts no more than 5% away from the main blade.

Have they thought of this already?

It is needed for electric models in order to make them work better in the manner described above.

You really can't channel cut grass like it is in a C pump.  Could you create a second c type pump above the main cutting blade?  A c pump chamber above the main blade with an impeller inside to accomplish this?  Yes.  But would that take too much power away?  It would have to be engineered not to.  But I believe it could be made to provide enough assist to accomplish the above stated goals needing improvement.
