Inside the mind of an inventor

This post is dedicated to the genius and down right ridiculous inventions of my friend. From key-rings that have an alarm when you call them from your mobile, to life saving devices such as emergency exit plans for skyscraper buildings; such as the Twin Towers, whereby instead of having stairs, a much faster way to evacuate people would be to have a fireman's pole down the outside of the buildings... I'm sure we can all decipher how that one would turn out! The best one was the inflatable car parts which activate when the car hits water in order to stop it sinking. This had merit and could even possibly work.

There is a new one to emerge in his mind in a bid to help the Japanese from future Tsunamis. It is called the Tsunami Pod. They will have one in their home, so when a Tsunami is about to hit they quickly climb in to ride out the water. It would have to be strong enough to with stand ships, buildings and other pods crashing into it. It will have to be big enough to hold food and water supplies. It will have to have some form of tracking devise incase the occupant is swept out to sea. Finally, it will have to have toilet facilities, because lets face it after the first five terrifying minutes in there it's already going to stink of... you know. Some how I can't really see this one being affordable or practical; although, hats off to him for trying to think of a way to save lives in future.
