Crazy Ideas

Some ideas are so far fetched Silicon Valley refers to them as "Moon Shot Ideas." These are the products that if someone somehow figured out a way to create these, they would instantly take over the market. An example would be a hoverboard (one that actually floats). If it was possible and someone manufactured it everybody would go bananas to try and get one. Those crazy ambitious ideas are the ones that can produce the most success.
"The one's who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the one's who do."         -Steve Jobs
So the items that I am listing here from this website, are some of the crazy ideas that can be turned into reality and some of them have been.
Ideas such as Amazon.com's innovation to deliver their products through drones are in this category. While drones exist the possibility of them delivering things to your doorstep is basically impossible...and a little freaky. But their still working on it and trying to find a loophole or something that will allow them to do something similar.
Yves Rossy did more than think of a crazy idea, he did it. Being an inventor and former Swiss Air fighter Pilot this guy can literally fly with his new wingsuit. With four minature jet engines and a set of wings connected to his body Yves jumped out of a plan and flew 200 mph above the Swiss Alps. Now Rossy has got to be just a little bit crazy to do this but it could seriously change the world's transportation. He isn't quite ready to release his invention to the public but he says it will be available in a couple of years.
One more crazy but effective invention would be the honeycomb tires. Using Biomimicry (science that imitates nature to create new products) Resilient Technologies in Wisconsin has created a tire that will never go flat because they don't actually have air in them. These wheels are based off  a matrix found in nature: the honeycomb. The tires have six sided cells aligned in them that provide flexibility and hopefully improve transportation on vehicles as a whole.
One thing you may have heard of is the TV show Sharktank. When you think about it Sharktank is an invention about inventions. Produced by Mark Burnett this show is about a group of people who loan money to modern inventors after they have analyzed and approved that the product could make them profit. If the product doesn't satisfy the host's then no dice. If you have an invention that you want to introduce then try this TV show. (That is if you can deal with the drama)
