Why not start a police scout organization run by the police force; perhaps with retired police officers as scoutmasters?
* This would create a better relationship between young people and the police.
* Police scouts could also act as a kind of neighbourhood watch and be a police presence within schools.
* It would also be a good way of recruiting future police officers.
* Police scouts could also be the police’s eyes and ears within schools.
* And, moreover, it would just be cooler to be a police scout than to be a boy scout or a member of the boys brigade because you would be linked to the grown up police force and would have real responsibilities like observing things and collecting information.
* Furthermore, what you would learn in the police scouts would be police skills like how to be a detective.
Also: Non-Newtonian Boxing Gloves – For self-defence.
Perhaps you could have boxing gloves filled with a Non-Newtonian fluid that are soft under normal circumstances but hard when they hit something. I think this would be perfect for those who are not violent and thus would never think of carrying a weapon.
Robot Hunting-
Instead of hunting animals you could hunt robots, little robots that move around quickly or robots programmed to evade capture. It may seem silly but it was inspired by the popularity of “Robot Wars” which is essentially a mechanical cockfight.
**Dielectric Elastomer Ideas (some might not work, hopefully some might)**–
Dialectric Elastomer Flapping Butterfly Sculpture/Hanging ornament -
You could make nice fabric butterflies that, powered by electricity, flap their wings.
Dialectric Elastomer Hugging Doll-
Why not make teddybears, dolls that have dialectric elastomer hugging arms.
Dielectric Elastomer Rescue Rope – Tie it round your waste, apply electricity and it will contract pulling you up.
Dielectric Elastomer Net-
You could make a net that would automatically tighten and surround a criminal with application of electricity.
Dielectric Elastomer Bendy Toy – Like an old fashioned rubber bendy toy except remote controlled.
Dielectric Elastomer Adjustable mattress/pillow
Dielectric Elastomer poseable sculpture- A sculpture that you move around and reposition by remote control
Dielectric Elastomer Pick-Up Whip (grabbing tool not a weapon) – Whip made of Dielectric elastomer with power source in the handle that could latch onto things tighten around them and pull them.
Dielectric Elastomer tentacle/elephant trunk – an artificial grabbing limb
Dielectric Elastomer Medusa Wig- This would be a good Halloween/fancy dress item.
Dielectric Elastomer Aquabot – Like the fin-suit only a swimming robot with a mermaid like tail.
Dielectric Elastomer Yo-Yo (Toy) – A type of returning toy like a yo-yo but one which is controlled by electricity.
Dielectric elastomer catapults/bows- These are bows and catapults that are drawn by electricity.
Dielectric Elastomer Magic Clothing – Clothing that can be moved or adjusted/altered by electricity. Also conjurors could create magic clothing that would move by itself like moving white gloves or a moving cape. You could probably make “levitating” Dielectric Elastomer sheets as well.
Electro-puppetry- I’ve seen objects being moved by dielectric elastomer strings and it seems that you could make any light object appear to move by itself which would be great for magicians and puppeteers. Perhaps animators could make electrically controlled models this way as well.
Snake-Bots/Worm-bots- Perhaps you could make soft bodied robots that wriggle along the ground like snakes or even artificial robot snakes for a fake snake charming trick or remote controlled rope for an Indian rope trick.
Dielectric Elastomer tents – You could perhaps have tents that automatically erect themselves when electricity is applied.
Dielectric Elastomer Flexible Massager/Massage Bandage- A bandage that, with an electric current might massage away aches and pains.
Dielectric Elastomer Bandages- Perhaps you could have electrically controlled bandages, may be for automatically applying them or to help with physiotherapy.
Dielectric Elastomer Safety Nets – You could have automatic, electrically activated and controlled safetynets.
Dielectric Elastomer Safety Harness – An automatic safety harness or one that can be activated by remote control.
Dielectric Elastomer Surgical Thread/Sutures.
Dielectric Elastomer Prosthetic Limbs/body parts/ components of prosthetic body parts either for medical purposes or for special effects/make up/conjuring.
Dielectric Elastomer Inflatable Objects- You could create electronically controllable inflatable objects.
Dielectric Elastomer Hammock – Perhaps you could create an electrically adjustable hammock that would raise and lower itself.
Dielectric Elastomer Physical Guidance Suit- You could create a suit that would teach you physical things like how to dance by moving and leading your movements.
Sticky Dielectric Elastomer Fly Paper/Spider Webs- Perhaps for catching mosquitoes.
Dielectric Elastomer Sensor Limb/ tentacle– Attach a camera to the end of this limb for either secret surveillance or internal surgical examination.
Dielectric Elastomer Hose – Perhaps water and electricity don’t mix so this might not be a good idea but fire fighters could probably benefit from having a remote controllable hose.
Dielectric Elastomer Sieve/filtration device- A device with holes that open and close or change size to allow certain substances to pass through and not others.
Dielectric Elastomer Self-Unfolding Objects- Folding objects that unfold themselves when activated by an electric current.
