CAR THAT RUNS ON AIR
If planes can stay in the air due to air lift and wind turbines can generate power with air, why can't cars?

Eye Glasses
You know as we age, contacts are no longer an option for many of us. So, we end up wearing reading glasses and distance glasses or triofocals for those who don't want to bother with three pair of glasses.
I tried triofocals, but never had enough vision in each section of the lens. And, I hate carrying 3 pair of glasses. So, my solution would be to make reversible glasses. One side is for distance, one side is for closeup.
Or at the very lease make glass covers that allow two pair of glasses inside. One pair could be in the top case, another pair in the bottom case.

Yarn Covered Letters
This looks kind of sloppy (I plan to redo), but gives an idea of how this could work. Get some plastic jugs (I used water jugs) and trace letters. As you can see I used hand-lettering (LOL), but for a more uniform look use stencils or print letters out of world or measure with a tape measure.
Wrap yarn around the letters or cover with fabric. If you can knit (I can't, but plan to learn) make cute little "letter covers".
This idea could be used for wall hangings, or decorating objects.

Frames for Glasses that Don't Break
Just one of my wishes. I wish someone would come up with frames that don't break--or at least the frames were made in sections--especially around the nose, as that seems to be a spot that breaks a lot. Okay, so a section for each side, and a section for the bridge. When one section breaks, you just pop it off and pop a new one one.
