About | Norm's Inventions for a greater universe

https://normsinventions.wordpress.com/about

Norm’s Inventions for a greater universe. Some stuff from my head. Sometimes I see a problem that needs an engineering solution. Sometimes I scribble my ideas on a piece of paper. Sometimes I think it’s an idea that will make me millions but I’m never going to do anything about it… so…. Sometimes I’ll be scanning in and describing my inventions here. Sometimes there will be gaping design flaws and totally nonsensical, unreadable scribbles. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Enter your comment here.

Switch on NFC cards | Norm's Inventions for a greater universe

https://normsinventions.wordpress.com/2013/03/15/switch-on-nfc-cards

Norm’s Inventions for a greater universe. Some stuff from my head. Switch on NFC cards. There’s lots of cards with NFC in people’s pockets . cards that can be read by a passing reader or the wrong card read when using it. If the antenna in the card had 2 contacts exposed like in the pic above that required, the card wouldn’t have enough power to work until a finger was placed over to make the circuit thus both securing and ensuring the card is only read when the user wants it to be.

Grumpy Review: Nokia Lumia 920 | Norm's Inventions for a greater universe

https://normsinventions.wordpress.com/2013/01/31/grumpy-review-nokia-lumia-920

Norm’s Inventions for a greater universe. Some stuff from my head. Grumpy Review: Nokia Lumia 920. There’s plenty of reviewers who will tell you how great the Lumia 920 is (it is! 8211; but ain’t nobody got time for that. Here’s the downsides…. Upgrading a Nokia is always excitement, tinged with disappointment. Maybe it’s that Finnish air that even if you’re having 24hour daylight parties, you know the winter is coming. I recently upgraded from the N8 to the Lumia 920. What’s the point in that? Every tim...

Norm’s Inventions for a greater universe. Some stuff from my head. BBC London News Drinking Game. What better way to get your weekday evening underway than drinking to the local news…. Take a gulp for…. Bad music sync on the handover from national (drink double if you see a shot of sportsdesk or other region). 8220;Including…” [cut to VT].

HS2 & train entry/exit pods & high speed travellators | Norm's Inventions for a greater universe

https://normsinventions.wordpress.com/2013/01/29/hs2-train-entryexit-pods-high-speed-travellators

Norm’s Inventions for a greater universe. Some stuff from my head. HS2 and train entry/exit pods and high speed travellators. Yesterday was announced the new route for the 2nd half of HS2, the high speed rail for UK. Now I do think they should do the northern bit first…. perhaps actually a big private company should just do it and show them how it’s done. This would help regenerate the north, especially when the shale gas money starts coming in. This is where the vestibule of each carriage is detachable.

Norm’s Inventions for a greater universe. Some stuff from my head. Just found this post in drafts from Nov 2010. not sure why I didn’t publish – maybe covered in a different post…. All this talk of sending someone on a one way trip to start colonising mars – why don’t we try underwater? Although that doesn’t sound very pleasant and I think colonising mars would be more fun than getting cold and wet and recreating the film waterworld. Comments : Leave a Comment. My idea was that it would take photos too s...

Phone Security | Norm's Inventions for a greater universe

https://normsinventions.wordpress.com/2013/04/23/phone-security

Norm’s Inventions for a greater universe. Some stuff from my head. I know there are devices available which you can put one in your bag and the other on the phone and if they are split then this would lock the phone. But they are clunky and people just stick them in the same place and they get robbed together. So another idea using NFC, why not have a ring that is used to unlock the phone so that whenever it is held in the hand it is unlocked and then locks again automatically. Date : April 23, 2013.

Vegan (and other foodstyles) Labelling | Norm's Inventions for a greater universe

https://normsinventions.wordpress.com/2013/03/01/vegan-and-other-foodstyles-labelling

Norm’s Inventions for a greater universe. Some stuff from my head. Vegan (and other foodstyles) Labelling. Being a non-religious meat-eater, I’ve been trying to cook/eat vegan for lent. I decided to do this before the horsemeat stuff, which is a bit annoying as people (or my nectar card) will think I’m doing it ‘cos of that. Being Vegetarian is quite easy – everything has a label but then I guess that’s because vegetarianism is quite well defined. So the next choice is vegan. But where do you stop? The l...

LaneHogCam | Norm's Inventions for a greater universe

https://normsinventions.wordpress.com/2010/01/17/lanehogcam

Norm’s Inventions for a greater universe. Some stuff from my head. Speed Cameras are horrible; not only are they just annoying when driving they are used by government as a reminder as to who is in charge and that you aren’t free to go about your business or be slightly rebellious. So as speed cameras are here to stay, how’s about lane cameras for those that are the root cause of most problems, delays and accidents on the motorways. I give you, the LaneHogCam (click to enlarge):. The camera continues to ...
