This is something I thought of the other day, but dunno if it exists or anything.
So electricity can be generated from temperature differences. See the thermoelectric effect https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoelectric_effect
And ground temperatures usually remain a constant temperature or so. Example chart http://www.building.co.uk/Journals/Graphic/n/p/b/Fig-3.gif
Thus could someone not create a device that makes use of the thermoelectric effect and take advantage of the temperature difference between the surface ambient temperature and the temperature 10-15 meters below the surface; which would generate "free" electricity for most months of the year.

check out robert murray smith on you tube... he has a few temperature differential generators.
and some really good sterling motors which can be made inexpensively.

I have an idea for a small gutter than can be attached to a tarp. To drain rain water away from your site when camping. Going to make a prototype this month and hopefully start tooling the mold soon

Of course they each need a tiny bit of work but there you go.
These are billion or trillion dollar ideas and do not qualify for this thread.

Here's one I got: It's called breathbox
It's essentially a portable breathalyzer with a locking compartment for your keys. When you get to a party, throw your keys in the locking box and set it's BAC threshold, say to .06.
When you want to go home you have to blow into it at .06 or under to get your car keys back. Sure you could break the box if you are desperate but that costa like $50, which really is good for business anyways, as you'll just buy another. But more importantly it will make people wait to be sober before they even have the option to drive home. I see a lot of Uber calls happening as a result of this invention.

I always thought it would be cool to have an odometer on your shoes. I walk a lot so I'd love to see exactly how many I put on on any given pair.

I still like my idea...
Another one is to create a new stock indicator that works technical or fundamental
