What about placing the pedestrian push button on the ground?
I think that would make it easier for people to use it. When someone carries heavy bags for example it's easier to step on it than lift the arms to push it. People who are very tall have to bend and people who are very short have to stretch or lift their arms. It's also more hygienic as people don't have to use their hands to press it.

More roundabouts would be nice
Roundabouts are a seeming contradiction, they slow traffic while they keep it moving. But they are safer than traffic lights because they demand that your - and more to the point everybody else's - operation is cooperation. They save fuel because unlike a light-directed intersection they don't require you to stop, idle and start again. They have no moving parts. And you can plant trees and flowers in the circle.

Wood in fire placed like bowling pins on the stage!

Thinking about it probably began when I first heard my grandparents complain about not being able to light the fireplace as often as they used to. The reason is that they had to rely on others to carry the wood inside the house. So, what about a simple mechanism that carries the wood from its storage place into the fireplace? The idea came to me when I was out playing bowling with my friends. The plastic pins were switched to wooden pins in my mind for a moment and since then I kept thinking, why not?

If a light food product you buy in the supermarket means a product with less calories, then you can turn every food into light food by adding water to it. Most calorie measurements in food are based on samples of 100 grams, so if you add water the 100 grams become 200 but the calories stay the same or are less as percentage of the overall intake
Products I can think of this can apply are alcohol, beer, wine, yogurt, soups, milk shakes, ice cream, coke etc
The taste might be diluted but will still be the same. If you turn normal food products into light ones this way, you will also be saving money as light products are usually more expensive compared to the original ones!

What about lights that repel mosquitos?

i don't know if such invention exists already, but think it would be helpful to people in Africa where malaria kills thousands of children every year. I know for example that rats can be repelled with sound, so what if light at a certain frequency could repel mosquitos? What do you think, is this possible?
