Invention Ideas - The Barcode as a recording medium (like record/tape/CD); also The Phone Lock; Also: 2 Triboelectric toy Ideas and Battle Monster Idea

Invention Idea – The Barcode as a recording medium (like record,tape,CD)

If a barcode could be used as a recording medium; the barcode reader playing what is recorded in the barcode then recordings could be stored on paper or any surface that a barcode is printed on.

Now, I do not know if audio or visual information could be stored in a barcode, perhaps that is too far fetched but I can think of some examples of barcode recording that I’m sure would work for example, imagine a digital version of a pianola/player piano that scanned a barcode that encoded notes of a short piece of music, perhaps a short piece like “Happy Birthday To You”  or you could have barcodes printed in comics and magazines that encode words that could be read and spoken by a barcode reader with a synthetic voice, perhaps so that a blind person can listen to what is in a magazine.

Invention Idea – Phone Lock for safes/strong rooms

A phone lock is a lock for a safe or strong room that is opened by dialling a number on a cell phone; in other words, rather than a combination, it has a phone number. This means it can be opened from anywhere in the world.

Toy Ideas:

Force Masters- Triboelectric Action Figure Toy Idea-

Force Masters are action figures that contain a small motor which produces static electricity that can be used to move light objects as if the action figures are wielding a magic force. Each figure would come with light props that can be moved by static electricity, like toy crates made from a thin plastic material

What inspired this idea? : I saw a science video where a man was moving a ping pong ball and an aluminium drinks can with a plastic tube rubbed against his sweater and it made me think, “What if an action figure could move things like that? It would be like the “Force” from Star Wars which would be really fun for kids”.

Fright Dolls –

These are large sized (about the size of a cabbage patch doll) girls dolls that have hair that stands on end when you rub them generating static electricity in the doll. Or they could simply contain a static electricity generator that you would activate by pushing a button.

Battle Monsters – Large Action Figure Toy inspired by Godzilla/King Kong Movies

Battle Monsters are giant mythical, prehistoric or alien monsters that fight each other like the creatures in Japanese Godzilla movies or Ray Harryhausen movies (Jason and the Argonauts, Clash of the Titans original movie); giant spiders and bugs versus dinosaurs and dragons as well as mythical monsters like the Cyclops and Medusa, Giants and Trolls even Monstrous plants. They all have friction or clockwork motors inside them so that as well as playing with them like action figures, you can just wind them up and let them crash into each other

Backstory: The creatures all live on Monster Island where, long ago, a strange meteor fell from the sky and, landing on the island made everything monstrous. Later, a group of people are shipwrecked on the island and have to escape with the help of a good band of monsters that are at war with the evil monsters
