Hey /sci/. I want to see your ideas for inventions, or improvements on already existing technologies that you think would improve life. Critiques and suggestions recommended.

The microwave oven stirrer has always bugged me. Microwaves bounce off of a motorized spinning piece of metal to spread them out in the cooking chamber. It doesn't do a very good job and the motor dies after a few decades. There's got to be a better solution. If you had precise control over the microwaves you could concentrate them on parts of the food you want to get more heat. Eliminate the problem of something being burning hot on the outside and still frozen on the inside.

That would be rather expensive.

A series of smaller uWave sources and using beam formers might do the trick.

All I got, might be useful in like 100 years if we ever get to the speeds/accuracy it actually works at. I was trying to invent a 3D space compass to go with it but came to a dead end as there is literally no way to get a 3D reference without relying on magnetometers or pulsar GPS.

But I mean, there's no sides on space. There only are if you're measuring relative to something, say Earth.

What?

As far as i know there aren't any spacecraft traveling at even a fraction of c so therefore the slower you travel the accuracy needed to get a reading needs to go up.
>Whys that a problem
The main problem is external apparatus is needed (the huge boon on most current satellites is usually the magnetometer) which are usually delicate, getting everything done on a chip would be an ideal solution.

Once i was akid i though of making holes in volcanos with hollowed drill bits in orther to avoid explosions kek
I think controlled explosions would actually be usefull, though. For instance in that italy city nearby an active volcano

A humane method of execution. Lethal injection can still go wrong in many ways, and it is overall a quite stressful procedure. I believe a means of quick beheading could be much more reliable.

Beheading leaves the brain intact. I propose that we use a pressurised nail and a CT scan to locate the area of the brain responsible for consciousness, and just have it be lights out immediately with no pain whatsoever.

My 7th grade science fair project was putting iron filings in paper and seeing if magnets could make it easier to recycle. Sadly, it didnt work but I did learn a lot about how to conduct experiments.

Non-lethal weapons like a brain-controlled whip-like long arm. The idea is to equip the police with non-damaging true non-lethal means of defense, instead of simply less than lethal weapons. It'd be very light and have a long string of joints that are excitable by electricity into taking a shape or angle.

Dynamite would be instant. It would also gross out people. By US legal standards it may also be "unusual" which is also a killer (no pun).
