Inventing for Japan
Together, we’ll invent a product and donate the proceeds to benefit the victims of the tsunami.
All of Quirky’s gross profits on the item, as well as all community “influence payments” (10% of indirect sales, 30% of direct sales), will be allocated toward tsunami relief efforts. By participating in this project, you agree to these terms.
Here is my submission:
A dog toy that wakes up to play with your dog while you are at work!
We work long hours and our dog is alone at home bored and depressed. Our dog has many toys lying around but passive toys do not get Fido’s attention. Fido’s playfulness is based on his hunter instincts. In order to get Fido to play with the toy the toy has to start moving from itself.
My idea is battery driven programmed toy that will wake up during the day and initiate some action!
With chew proof thick rubber protective skin and simple mechanics it will be hours of fun for the bored dog.
See, discuss and vote for the best ideas and remember that all profits go to help the Japanese people rebuilding their destructed lives.
