Ringo Gondola

Created: 9 March 2008
Medium: Scrap paper, Pen
Description: For your soft toy apples to have abit of fun. Special effects can be made for a winter ski scene. Applicable to other soft toys.

Explanation: A string is tied from the chair leg to the window grill. This is String 1. Another string is tied to the gondola, behind the window grille and the Director(you) holds the other end. The Director sits on the chair. The gondola is made up of a hair curler, plastic bag material and an empty tissue box. The hair curler goes through String 1. To bring the Gondola to the top, pull String 2(The one the director holds). And when you want to release the gondola to go down, start untwining the string. You can repeat the process over and over again, so what are you waiting for? Go get the materials and start having fun with your Ringos.

Ringo=Japanese word for Apple

Note: This invention has been created physically and worked.

The Sneaky Tubes

Created: October 31 2007
Medium: Zig pens
Description: a very very simple invention, for convenient use of handphones in the classroom. requires a small amount of acting skills.

Explanation: the mouth tube consists of a mouthpiece which looks like a toilet plunger, except skinnier and smaller. it does not allow sound to escape, unless you didnt put on the mouthpiece properly. the transparent mouthpiece is connected to a transparent tube, which is to be plugged into the phone( you know how those things work). the tissue over the mouthpiece makes you look as if you are blowing your nose, just so long as you put your hand over it and squinch your eyes now and then and look as if you are blowing your nose. the earpiece is also transparent, and is covered by the tissue. these tubes are connected to your handphone, which is to be in your bag.
smart tip: bend over so as not to attract attention and look as if you are searching for something.


also, special thanks go to amelia the amoeba, who brought up the problem.

The Potato Shooter

Created: Long Long ago when the picture couldn't be uploaded
Medium: Black Pen, Blue Zig Pen, Half A4 Paper
Description: Yearning to carry out an attack on someone? Here's your big chance. All you need is the Potato Shooter, and a couple of potatoes.

Explanation in case of Fuzzy Image: This is a streamlined, transparent vehicle on wheels. It operates when you step on the buttons(they are big for convenience). There is a short-range telescope which can enable you to see in all directions due to its extremely curved surface. Thus you can take aim too. The tube from which potatoes come out has a laser light lining the top. It marks your target. There is the Jaws invention which works on battery, and it grasps potatoes from the sack to the caterpillar tracks, and the tracks bring it up to the pipe which shoots the potato at the directed target. You can start or stop the Jaws by stepping on the thierd button.
The direction can be adjusted by pulling the two strings, which are connected to the left and right handles of the pipe. The pipe is flexible. The chair of the user can revolve, to inspect all directions. The exhaust pipe is multi- tasking. If you feel mean, you can put paintballs in the exhaust pipe, and they will shoot out at the unsuspecting enemy trailing you behind. There are tiny holes to enable air circulation too.
Small Note: potatoes can be replaced by other items like tomatoes.

Slight Glitch

Dear Valued Readers,
I am sorry to inform you that there is a problem with the uploading of images and I will try to upload the Potato Shooter as soon as possible.

The Mushwoom Bouncer

Created: 15 October 2007, at home, 0800-0900

Medium: Brother's pen, half of A4 paper

Description: The perfect creation for your pet mushwoom to have some fun. practical. bounces better than a pogo stick.

Explanation in case of fuzzy image: the ball bounces between the board and the air pump repeatedly. the bouncing ball pumps air from the air pump into the giant balloon. the bouncer board and the mushwoom is raised higher and higher. on the right there is a travellator, with a naughty weasel whose feet are superglued to the travellator. the naughty weasels pops the inflated balloon with its needle as it passes by. the bouncer board with the mushwoom falls to the floor and starts bouncing on its springs. meanwhile, the giant thud activates the sensor on the ground, producing a new inflatable balloon, ready to be inflated by the air pump. the hose sucks up the fragments of broken burst balloon. there are control cushions made up of sturdy wood covered in cotton so that the bouncer board and its mushwoom does not go out of control. the cycle is repeated over and over again.
