Automatic Fan
This is a fan that follows you around the room. A person wears a band/bracelet that sends out signals t the fan telling it of the wearers position. The fan would then rotate according to the angle that the user is with the fan. Also, wen on sweep, the user should have the ability to control the sweep of the fan.

Heat Sensing thermometer
Expanding on the Heat sensing idea, why not make a temperature reader using the heat sensing technology. It would involve making a glass/plastic rod attached to some insulated material. The plastic/glass part would be dipped into any hot/cool are and that part would light up according to the temperature by LED lights. It can be powered by AA battery or a rechargeable one.
THeory about INdian Caste System and Human Nature
Everyone knows that Hinduism involves a caste that distinguishes social classes that are indicated by birth. However, I believe that this was not always the case. In the early days, when Hinduism was being formed, the caste system was not meant to be by birth but by a persons ability. A person who was smarter would go to a higher caste while the stupid people would end up in a lower caste.
This all changed as a result of Human Nature, which is to survive and to ensure that your offspring has a greater opportunity for success. When the high caste parents saw their children being demoted to a lower caste, the argued a lot and probably convinced the Hindus to allow their children to remain in the High Caste. After a while the higher castes became overcrowded as a result of the people currently there and also from people moving up. Finally, it was decided that the caste system would be by birth and not by merit.
Also, the idea of reincarnation was developed so the lower caste members would not riot and give them some hope of improving their own life. Slowly the religion was taken completely away from its intention of providing a good life path for people and became obsessed with Gods and Rituals.

RTS game, SPORE style
While I was playing the Civilization stage in SPORE, I thought, why not make a full fledged game like this, where users can create their own units and vehicles with their own stats. For those of you who are not familiar with SPORE, it is a game that involves creating your creature, which you can evolve and eventually conquer the galaxy. The civilization stage in Spore is a real-time-strategy (RTS) game. In the stage, you can design all of the vehicles, buildings etc. for your civilization.
This is a great new concept and the idea is to let players design their own units, vehicles and buildings in an RTS game. People would be able to make units and add and remove weapons, armor etc. that would change the unit's stats. Therefore, players would be able to make units that suit their strategy. Also, the better stats a unit has, the more expensive it will be.
I believe that many people will be interested in this game and will provide endless fun as each new battle will be a different experience.

Heat Sensing Mug
This idea was inspired from my previous one, Heat Sensing Coffee Table.
Many people can't bear to drink hot beverages where the temperature is too cold or too hot. This mug aims to solve that problem. The idea is to have a mug that would sense the temperature of the beverage inside and then have a section or the entire mug light up based on the temperature.

Heat Sensing Coffee Table.
I was looking at this article http://home.howstuffworks.com/10-wacky-home-inventions4.htm which is about a coffee table that uses LED lights to light up the table wherever there is some object resting on it. It is an interesting concept and I think it can be expanded.
One idea can be used to make a coffee table that senses the heat of the objects that have been placed on top of it. Just like the heat sensing cameras, it would light a certain color that corresponds to the temperature of the object resting on top of it (red for hot, blue for cold). This would be useful for telling the temperature of beverages and other foods placed on the table to see if they can be eaten.

Harry Potter Houses
Each of the Houses in Harry Potter, Gryffindor, Slytherin Hufflepuff, and Ravenclaw, represent some form of good or evil. The name themselves use the psychology of the human brain to convey these ideas.
Gryffindor: the Good house
The name Gryffindor contains the sound grrr and is derived from the word Griffin. When one thinks of Grrrr, he/she associates the sound with a lion or another powerful beast. Lions are usually associated with courage and stregnth and this is exactly what the house represents.
Slytherin: Evil House
When you think of Slytherin, the word "Slither" come to mind which is a discription of how snakes move. In most parts of the World, especially the West, snakes are almost always evil. For example, the snake in Adam and Eve gives Eve the apple of sin. Therefore, the association of Slythein is with snakes. Even their house head's name, Snape, is ver similiar to snake.
Hufflepuff: The quite, helpful house
To me, the name Hufflepuff conveys a sense of a fat and jolly place. This is probably has to do with the fact that the name contains the word Puff, which reminds me of puffy and "chubby". This transitions into the next part, jolly. Fat people in literature usually tend to be Jolly and Helpful such as Santa Clause. In the series, the Hufflepuff house does tend to be helpful at times.
Ravenclaw: the not-so-good house
The house Ravenclaw is made up of 2 words, Raven and Claw. A raven is usually a creature of the night and is kind of like a spy. Creatures of the Night are evl and Claw shows the predatorial aspect of the House, meaning it is able to defend itself. Also, throughout the book, very little is revealed about the House, which shows the secretive nature like that of a Raven's.

4D thoughts and ideas
Ok so here are the facts first
So basically what I mean by the rules are all the things that apply to the first three dimensions and can therefore assume apply to the 4th dimension. Here is what I think are a some rules that can be applied to all dimensions
- The fourth dimension is obviously time
- The other three dimensions in ascending order:
- 1st dimension: x coordinate, line
- 2nd dimension: x and y coordinate: square type objects
- 3rd dimension: x, y, and z coordinates: cubical type objects (our current dimension)
So basically what I mean by the rules are all the things that apply to the first three dimensions and can therefore assume apply to the 4th dimension. Here is what I think are a some rules that can be applied to all dimensions
- Each object in only be in one point in space: meaning nothing can be in more than one place at the SAME time. Another way of explaining this is that something can't have more than one of each type of coordinate ex. the point (9,0) can't also be in the location of the point (2,0).
- ya I think that the first one pretty much covers it.
- First of all, most people have the general idea that in the 4th dimension, a person will experience all time at once. This, as you can see, contradicts the first law. It will be like saying that a person in the 3rd dimension experiences all of the z coordinate at once.
- People also tend to think that in the four dimension, you can just instantaneously jump from one time to the next, even thought those times are not adjacent to each other. Again, when this same concept is applied to the 3rd dimension, it will mean that one person has the ability to teleport from one point to another point, thousands of miles away. This of course is not possible, well not yet anyway.
- For a person to get from one time to another, he/she has to "walk" through the time just like we walk through space.
- In the fourth dimension, there should be a sensory organ that enables us to see the different "times", adjacent to the one that we are currently in
- We are currently experiencing some change in time, meaning that we are moving across the 4th dimension, although it is regular and uncontrollable. This theory also suggests the fact that 2d objects gradually move through the 3rd dimension in the same regular, and uncontrollable way. Also the sense of "time"in the 2nd dimension is measured by the dimensions position in the z coordinate, just like our time is measured by our position in the 4th dimension.
- All dimension are basically layered on top of each other and adjacent dimensions contain some form of their neighboring dimensions
- A "cube" in the 4th dimension is called a tesseract and its shadow is a cube.
- It is possible to draw the shadow of a shadow of a tesseract on a piece of paper. Go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesseract for pictures (Don't worry, I didn't get my theories from wikipedia, its just for the pictures). Also, keep in mind that a real shadow of a tesseract is in 3d and so a 2d is a shadow of a shadow.
- If you are failing to grasp this concept then look at it this way. When you draw a cube on a piece of paper and then you put an actual cube on top of one of the squares. You will see that this resembles the shadow of the cube. Also, remember that the part underneath the cube is also part of the shadow
SPORE Ideas
This is a list of all possible ideas that could be done in the game spore
- Entire f1 theme with complete car, driver, and garage. Obviously based on Kimi Raikonnen
- Cricket theme
- smallest creature possible

Small media player
I don't know if this has been invented yet but here is an idea.
THis invention is for everyone who would like to put media on a physical piece of paper like song or movie. The idea is to make a small device that will stick to a piece of pper.
The device is very thin and is basic. It should be able to play small media files like music and some small videos. The video device should be separate from the music one. It should have basic controls like play, pause, fwd, rwd, and maybe record. IT will be a small strip that has speakers on either end and a mic in front for recording. Also, it will be like a disposable camera, u can only use it once. THis will be very helpful in stuff like lectures. You can record the lecture and take notes about it on the same page. Then u can go back and listen to the lecture and read the notes. This is already done on the computer by attatching media in word documents, but there is no way of putting that on paper.
The video will be a more complex version of the music one and will include a screen. It will not have record though. You wil put media by plugging it in to the computer. THis will help in annotating a film etc.

Ancient Halo
There are a lot of first person shooters out there. All of them involve guns etc. There should be a shooter that takes place in a lord of the rings type world where the weapons are sword and arrows
Although there are a lot of Ancient games like this, none of them have a good online play like Halo or Gears of War does. The game should be in first person where the player moves left joystick to move character and right joystick to aim. The triggers and bumpers can be used for different types of attacks.
Also, there are different weapon types

Also, there are different weapon types
- Single sword: Player can only carry sword
- Weapon + sheild: Player carries a sword and shield
- dual sword: two swords like dual weilding
- Axe: Player has one axe
- small axe: two axes, one in each hand
- Bow and arrow: self explanitory
