Industrial Design of the Week: TOPIC SUGGESTIONS

[silicone]

has anyone ever seen dino-riders?.....it was this old cartoon where a human space fighter and an alien one are doing battle in space. Anyway...someone initiates the space warp drive but the alien ship has their tractor beam on and they end up on a planet where dinosaurs dominate.....both races are still fighting to win....but the humans choose peace with the dinosaurs while the aliens attatch brain control harnesses and ride these dinosaurs as war vehicles....lets do that.....oh and the dinosaurs have like laser cannons attached an obviously the T-rex is most powerful on the aliens team, while the humans have the triceratops....tiz like natural vs technological, human vs alien, herbivore vs carnivore....we design the harnesses for the T-rex and the Triceratops....mean!

Ha, I remember Dino-Riders. I got 2 of the toys my aunt bought for me. I remember how awesome I thought the T-Rex was.

Evangelion-style bodysuit
Space battleship modeled after aquatic life. (Example: Darius by Taito.)
Half-track car.

[83rd Dream]

New Dakar Truck

[Sebastian Hampen]

Dinoriders, would be awesome.
Since we´re talking childhood stuff here, how about a redesign of the monstertruck: Gravedigger.
Would be tons of fun!

[Sickbrush]

childhood themes hmmm...

-a "Wacky Racers" car
- redesign the "Swat Catz" jet plane
- X-men jet plane redesign
- domestic transformers
- Dexter's first invention redesign [Dexter's laboratory] i mean

more will come as i advance into the path of coffee

How about we redesign the god-emperor's golden throne

I would for sure want to see how it realy functions, and what it looks like in its entirety, not just some snapshots at pieces and parts

Can you revive the god-emperor?

[Sebastian Hampen]

by the way, since there was a dino-riders mini series by marvel, there could theoretically be a hulk-osaurus rex or ar a venom-ciraptor or a ..... But that´d be cow stuff.
So how about a steampunk pirate ship, or a cool suicide weapon (like those orcish catapults, shooting with orcs...), or equipment for futuristic gladiators that is still based on the Aesthetics of roman or a similiar design

[templar007]

Trying my luck again with the golden throne of the emperor. Naah, just kidding, how about the Astronomicon. The Astronomican is a psychic beacon located on Terra, which projects an astropathic beam 70,000 light years across the Milky Way Galaxy which the human Navigators utilize to pilot the starships of the Imperium of Man through the otherwise unnavigable chaos of Warpspace.

For more details, look here: http://warhammer40k.wikia.com/wiki/Astronomican

Big, construction/destruction type of equipment?

[zenarion]

Next-gen gaming console with controller.
Because controllers haven't evolved much.

-Rosary
-Bibles
-Mallet
-Stacks
-Bottle of Holy water
-Various flasks with potions and herbs

IDW #200 is fast approaching! Now is the time to get your topics out there!

My daughter's idea: An ornate flask for a particularly nasty poison.

Also...

Intergalactic coin or currency.

Spy drone

Dystopian protective gear

Staff of the Lizard Tribe Shaman

Single person submersible

Specialized nanites (okay, I did nanites in my one IDW effort, but I think its a fun idea)

Swamp Hag's cauldron

Robotic major domo

ceremonial sacrifice dagger

anti-lava suit

Cybernetic eye implants

I'm a bit new to the game (and a little lazy) so I apologize if any of these duplicate previous IDW's.

Re-purposed War Walker: The Great War has been over for several years now, but many of the fearsome war machines remain- some intact, some as half-destroyed wrecks. The shell-shocked survivors have begun to refit the machines for peaceful purposes, showing the sort of ingenuity that desperation can inspire.

The challenge is to create two designs- one the original war machine, and the second to show how the machine has been adapted for a new peacetime role.

So the new topic, "methane ice miner" has me thinking, why don't we use a source of energy that's... all around us, but is totally wasted. Yes you guessed it, I'm talkin' Fart Recyclers!

[ashess]

bit based on this weeks eow. but mechas based on greek gods. awesome idea, no?

[Si_Swe]

Been watching a lot of Bond flicks lately, been making me think this would be a funny topic:
Bond Villain's over-the-top doomsday device

[isdebesl]

My first IOW ideas!!:
2050 NASCAR cars
Future lamp battery
Frankenstein destroyer tank
Gray hybrid future car
Twisted Metal cars
Food wish machine
Small industrial world with 45 people (sry too long)
Kappa detector
Super permanent glue
Mariana Trench future submarine

If I understand the concept here then this would be my take:

Mass Pwr Generation system that has the ability to generate a magnetic field so pwrful it will operate the transite system of the city in which is built upon it.
The core would be in the design of the black hole generator of the Event Horizon.
A hydroponic chamber that is not only self sufficient but also has portability.
Create cells out of mack trailers and place them in a stack with running facilities within each.

Anyway, I hope this was the idea.... Thanks...

Not sure if you've done this one since I was too lazy to look for a list of old topics But how about headphone designs? I confess I just feel like designing some headphones and a topic on here would get me extra motivated

[Moirae]

Antimatter chopsticks (redesign from Red Dwarf episode "legion").
Cyber steed (no wheels allowed).
Sci fi Swiss army knife.
