Tornado Lights

Idea: To fly swarms of tiny drones with bright lights on them into tornadoes so people can easily see the tornadoes for safety reasons. Also: the tiny drones could be released from self-driving large military drones or self-driving cars; some of the drones could have audio sirens (for rural areas without tornado alarms) and some could make a line in the sky to show the projected future path of the tornado; if the tornado lights were too pretty people would walk outside to see them and get killed (kind of like bugs flying into a bug light)

Drone Charging Network 2

Idea: A nationwide grid of volunteer drone enthusiasts who set up their homes as "drone charging stations", so cellular/satellite-controlled hobby drones can hop across the country from house to house, while the person piloting the drone is doing so from the convenience of their own house. Also: kits for setting up your house as a drone charging station, either in your garage or your attic; shipping the drones across areas without any charging stations, or swapping control of drones with other people in different regions; having volunteers fix drones and get them out of trees, possibly with the aid of falcons; using the drones and drone stations to sightsee, do scavenger hunts, consensually peek in windows via an OnlyFans-style service, receive Amazon packages inside your house, and transfer data of a non-Internet-based social network

Garden De-Worming Birds

Idea: To train birds to eat the worms off of plants in a garden on command. Also: using drones to de-worm plants and then feed the worms to birds, which would then become too fat and lazy to fly; using the same trained birds to eat head lice off of people's heads; an anti-dandelion conspiracy theory

Street Light Deer Spotlights

Idea: For street light poles to have LIDAR sensors and to use AI (artificial intelligence) to detect deer in the dark and then shine a spotlight on the deer to help drivers see them and thus avoid hitting them. The AI would prevent falsely detecting deer and erroneously turning on the spotlight all the time, unlike crappy motion lights for your house which turn on all the time when the wind blows leaves in nearby trees. Also: if it can detect deer and then turn on (and aim) a spotlight, it could also detect cars and pedestrians and only turn on the normal (stationary) street light if someone is there; to get rid of most of the street signs because drivers can use navigation apps instead; to use spotlights (which are either mounted on street light poles or are being flown by drones) to light the area in front of cars so we no longer have to rely on other drivers to dim their "brights" to not be temporarily blinded as they drive by

Stuff-On-Demand Mini Cruise Ship Clusters (Tom Walma)

Idea: To have many tiny cruise ships (from family-sized to max size of appx 200 people) that travel in clusters, along with giant supply ships, with drones and rowboat-sized supply boats to move food and other supplies between the giant supply ships and the tiny cruise ships. Also: tiny cruise ships could dock in ports which aren't big enough to dock giant cruise ships; putting people on separate tiny cruise ships instead of one giant cruise ship could dramatically reduce the spread of COVID and other viruses; activities like rock-climbing walls which aren't feasible on tiny cruise ships could be located on the giant supply ships and drones could take people from their tiny cruise ships to the giant supply ships

Drone Food Delivery To Moving Vehicles

Idea: To have drones deliver food to people in moving vehicles, such as cars stuck in traffic. Also: how some technology of today would seem insane and/or ridiculous to people in the past; holding out bags of food on hooks which people on trains can grab as the train drives by; having drones swap your normal helmet with a "beer helmet" while you're driving a motorcycle

Drone Charging Network

Idea: A kit for toy drone enthusiasts to convert an attic vent to a "drone doggy-door" and put a grid of wireless drone charging stations in their attic. They could then register their house as a "drone charging station" to create a nationwide "drone charging network", thus allowing people to gradually fly toy drones (which are connected to the cell phone network) across the country

Drone Sightseeing Tours

Idea: An hourly drone rental service for sightseeing at the Grand Canyon (or some other vacation destination), where you'd control the drone remotely from your computer, tablet, or VR headset. Afterwards, it would send you 4k video recorded by the drone. Also: why sightseeing vacations don't make sense; social drones which have a screen that shows your face

Virtual-Only Experiences With Real Human Guides

A bunch of ideas for virtual (i.e. Zoom/Skype) entertainment experiences with real human guides, where the experiences would be impossible to do in-person in the real world (as opposed to "Amazon Explore", which is virtual versions of real-world experiences). Examples include virtual tours of historical places and historical disasters, virtual tours of real-world places with "inappropriate" tour guides (such as comedians), video-drone tours of real world places which are off-limits to tourists (the moon, parts of the Grand Canyon, etc.), and real world events/games where the person participating virtually plays a role of a team (for example, being a lookout in a heist)

Social Toy Drones

Idea (NSFW, dark humor): Flying a toy drone with a videocamera on it is like playing a videogame where nothing fun happens. A videodrone would be much funner if it had a speaker and a screen to show your face, that way you could do social things with real people and other videodrones. Examples include games like hide-and-seek, guided sky tours, drone charging "forts", kids using the drones to play together outside when their parents make them stay inside, playing with animals using apps that make animal noises, etc. Also: controlling a drone with your mind so that you feel like an actual bird

Monitoring of Pedophiles with Drones

Idea (NSFW): To pay a bunch of people to follow pedophiles and suspected pedophiles with drones to make sure they don't do horrible things Also: being followed by a drone might cause little boys to think you're cool, the creepiness of drones, R Kelly's alleged cult of young aspiring female singers

Drone Tarzan

Idea: To use drones to help you swing through the trees like Tarzan by performing tasks such as helping you build platforms, attaching ropes, transporting piles of leaves to use for padding, resetting the ropes back into swinging position after each stunt, adjusting the position of the ropes as you're flying through the air so you don't miss them and fall to the ground, and filming the stunts for YouTube. Also: other stunts such as ziplines, waterslides, trapeze swings, and catapults; an elaborate Rube-Goldberg machine that results in you breaking your ankle, using a live alligator instead of an inner tube on a waterslide

Drone Hot Dog Stand

Idea: To use drones to deliver food from a single food stand to multiple nearby locations in a place where lots of people are spread out, such as a park containing several small picnic areas. Also: ordering food while in line at an amusement park, ordering different food genres from different nearby food stands at a festival, food-carrying drones getting attacked by birds (and possible countermeasures), eating crickets and giant God cows

Drone-Propelled Rollerskating VR Game

Idea: A virtual reality videogame where the main character uses a handheld helicopter drone to propel himself/herself around on roller skates and chop up enemies. Also: VR for exercise, changing the stereotype of a "gamer", movement in VR that won't make you feel sick like walking or running often does

Drug Disposal Drones

Idea: a toy-sized drone to be used to fly drugs out of your car window if you get pulled over by the cops. Also: a retired police officer's thoughts on the idea, police falcons to chase the drones

Modular Indoor/Outdoor Electric Flying Car

Idea (NSFW): A single-person electric car whose chassis can switch between horizontal mode (like a motorcycle) and vertical mode (like a Segway). When in vertical mode, it would be thin enough to fit through an ordinary door, so you could drive it inside buildings and up and down elevators. Modular attachments would be available, such as an SUV-like "family compartment" or a quadcopter flying car attachment
