New Push Bike
I've been haunted by the idea of changing the normal push bikes into something better that requires less movement and sweat and at the same time that you can use any day of the year, not only when the weather allows it. My intial idea involes 4 wheels, half the width of a car, comfortable car seat and you can hang a jacket behind the seat. I'm still working on how to actually make it move. Maybe it's electric. Another idea that comes to mind is to use the same theory as wind-up cars. Suggestions?
Advertising idea for a car insurance company
It's pretty common in Australia that car insurance companies promote to pay a smaller fee if you prove you don't use your car as much as other people. I thought of a print idea where you see a street with many cars parked outside their houses and only one of those cars is covered with leaves or flowers, as if a season has passed by and you haven't used the car. "You hardly use your car? Pay Less!"
The theory of the cat-bread aka as the theory of "eternal movement"!
This is a stupid fun theory that my friend Burgues told me a few years back which is interesting as it may create eternal movement and may help stop using fuel and other chemical components to move things.
The theory goes like this: If you put butter on a bread and you let it fall to the ground, it will always land on the butter's side right? If you throw a cat to the floor, it will always land on its feet right? Well, what happens if you put butter on a cat's back? Experts say that the cat remains in the air rotating at a very fast pace, thus creating eternal movement as it will never fall to the floor. haha, promise no to include many jokes.

Car keys, house keys idea.
This is also one of the old ideas but this hasn't been done yet, which is strange. I've always liked the comfort of opening the car with a remote control, we should have the same with our houses don't you think? Obviously it would need to be "short" range and have some kind of security build into it, similar to a car's.
Idea for a Shower
This may exist nowadays, not sure... but I'm sure that when I thought about this idea like 7 years ago it didn't exist, so I'm proposing it anyway. I'd love to have a digital shower where you can pre-program the temperature of the water to your taste, very similar to a car stereo where you program your favorite radio stations. You could have a button for every member of the family and obviously the normal buttons On, Off, Hot and Cold buttons. All digital. Just to add a little extra "style" to it, I've always tought of having the shampoo shelve hidden in the shower wall, that opens gently by touching a specific area, like a bathroom mirror that has drawers inside it.
SOPASSSS!!! Que delicious. Idea para restaurante.
En china vi unas mesas tipo de tepanyaki pero para caldos o sopas. Inmediatamente se me antojo tener algo asi en Mexico. Abrir una Caldera, jaja, mas bien una casa de caldos y sopas. Excepto el caldo que toma mucho tiempo de cocinar casi todo se puede cocinar en la mesa. Menu sugerido: Caldo de camaron, caldo de carne, pozole, sopa de lima, birria. Mexico se pinta solo por su variedad de sopas y caldos asi que podria escribir un menu de 20 paginas que a nadie le interesa, el chiste es la idea.

Art exhibition or restaurant idea
I imagined having a hookah (a huge smoking pipe) in the center of an art gallery or restaurant. This pipe would have several extensions so several guests could smoke at the same time. This hookah would be somehow connected the art hanging on the wall (I thought of creating carved wood paintings sealed with acrylic) so everytime people would have a drag, the paintings would become "alive" with steam (only the carved part).
