Post your hot business tips for the future. Let's start a bizniz on DU.

[The Backlash Cometh]

Who has access to a glacier? I'm serious, sort of. I say that we start collecting glacier water and bottle it. Just think of the investment potential of selling glacier water five years from today. Or sooner, if you want to sell it for actual drinking water.

Here's another hot tip: The kids at my daughter's high school are going nuts over a frequency on their cellphones that they can play that people over 30 years of age can't hear. I think it's a ring-tone option. Right now, it's an annoying sound to them, but us old folks are too hearing impaired to hear it. So, those of you who have access to the kinds of tools that can work out the specifics could hit it big if you could do more, than just come up with an annoying ring-tone.

Okay, don't forget to send the royalty checks when you hit it big.

1. So you want to melt the glaciers even faster to make a buck

You must be proud

3. Yeah, that was my first reaction, too.

Then it dawned on me, that there have been miles and miles of glacier that we have already lost. So just collect the fringes which are bound to disappear that day. Maybe even set up reflectors to protect what you can, as you go along. Like collecting an endangered species right before the forest fire consumes the area, and kills them all anyways.

2. John Wayne used glacier shavings in his drinks...

aboard his mine sweeper yacht, which he usually kept
moored at Rocky Point (Puerto Penasco, Mexico--
straight south of Tucson).

I lived in Tucson for a year.

4. Wouldn't that be poetic justice if we could sell it at outrageous prices

to the 1%ers, then turn the money around to do some good in the world, like save the wetlands? Of course, it only makes sense if you take from the glacier, that which will be gone that day, anyways.

5. Just print the instructions in a big font

so us old hippies can read it without glasses!

6. Actually, I'm near-sighted.

For a while there, I could read extremely fine print better than I could see long distances. Until my eye-sight became more specialized. I suspect it's because I type reclined in my chair, so now I've lost that ability to read very small print, but can read the computer from about a four foot distance. No clue if it's correlated. Just one of those things I've noticed.

7. On Demand Hydrogen Generator (for Internal Combustion Engines)

Hydrogen is the best alternative fuel source to power internal combustion engines. It can be created from water, is abundant in supply, and has been used on engines before. There is a corrosion factor to consider but it can be remedied with a little gasoline in the mixture.

With an on-demand hydrogen generator, the user will not have to worry about dangerous compressed storage containers and toxic fumes.

There is an invention that uses high grade stainless steel tubes and pulsed high voltage to convert water into hydrogen. The invention looks more efficient than all other electrolysis methods I've seen and produces plenty of hydrogen gas.

It would be nice if someone tested its efficiency and compared to conventional methods. Some have claimed it is a thousand percent more efficient. These claims lead me to believe,

1.) Conventional methods are less than .01 % efficient
2.) Miscalculation
3.) B.S.

There are a few reports of working units on the Internet so I doubt it is a load of B.S. In addition, I have yet to find detailed efficiency calculations on conventional techniques. Maybe someone here can help.

If this device works as advertised, it can be adapted for cars and emergency power generators. The profit potential should be huge for anyone that takes advantage of it.
