15.1 Commercial Building Incinerator

Description: A smaller sized incinerator for highrise and lowrise buildings. It incinerates certain types of garbage and hard to recycle items, providing heat and/or electricity to the building.

Pros: generating heat and power on site reduces loss of energy due to travel from utility source, reduces garbage pickup and heating costs.

Cons: Even the most efficient incinerator designs will have emissions, tenants/building managers may burn things that shouldn’t be burned. Initial investment could be too high to justify the savings.

15.2 Flush Counter

Description: For toilets and RV drains it measures the amount of water/flushes that pass through a drain to tell you how full your tanks are. Current tank measures are faulty, getting gunked up on black tanks by the sewage. These have to be attachable to current drains in already fully built RVs.

Pros: There is a market for aftermarket RV products as new RVs are often poorly constructed using cheap parts.

Cons: This may exist somewhere

15.3 Wave Scanner

Description: A device that measures and tells you the levels of various waves/radiation in a room/location. Can measure radio waves, wifi, cell data, other electronic interference, microwaves, ect. Sold more as curiosity device and not tied/marketed to any sort of conspiracy.

Pros: People have health concerns about the radiation/waves given off by electric devices

Cons: Can this technology be created easily and semi-cheaply? Or is this difficult to make?

15.4 Forager App

Description: an app that can work entirely offline that can identify plants based on taking a picture of it in the wild. It will tell you what it is while showing what else looks like it to confirm it yourself instead of only relying on the app. It tells how it is usually prepared, whether its edible and how much of it should you eat.

Pros: This can enable safer foraging and be helpful to people in the case of food shortages

Cons: If it mis-identifies the wrong plant, someone could die by eating poison.

15.5 Plant Based Home

Description: A business that sells and installs plants to perform some function on the building. Drainage: vines that act as downspouts, plants that perform like drain tile around the perimeter of the house. A trellis type wall system that is close to but not attached to the walls of the building, the vines reflect sunlight and divert rain. Roof plants or green roofs that absorb rain and disperse it slowly over time. A roof garden that terraces so the water can work its way down from the roof through multiple plants.

Food production: fruit trees on rooftops where the roof catches fallen fruit without damaging it (if possible).

Barriers/privacy: source and install a wide variety of hedges, include spikey varieties for extra security.

A maintenance package would be sold with each installation as root and sucker parts have to be prevented from damaging wall systems.

Pros: if done tastefully, it will look attractive and neighbours/guests will ask how to get this done. Social media viral worthy as well. It provides cleaner air to the property and helps prevent decay and damage if done correctly

Cons: without maintenance these installations will damage the building. Property owners may not want to pay for the added maintenance. Other contractors could spread doubt about these products.

15.6 Roof Honey

Description: A service that offers to put a beehive (or hives) on your roof free of charge. They will maintain it and the homeowner gets a percentage of profits or honey based on the production of the hive(s). Not every roof will work; wind, proximity to flowers, slope and access are factors.

A beekeeper uses small cameras and/or a drone to keep an eye on progress and visits the hives as needed.

Pros: Passive income for the homeowner. Processed sugar is becoming less popular, alternatives, preferably local are in greater demand.

Cons: Initial investment may be too high to recoup after profits of honey.

15.7 New materials subdivision

Description: This will be a development of tiny homes purpose built as rentals. Each house will use a sample of at least one unique, new (or new to the region) construction material. These will essentially be test cases of the materials. For some materials this will include removable panels to show and inspect its performance (insulation, plumbing). Once a year (or more often if profitable) there will be open homes event where renters are paid to vacate in order to show off the materials performance in a real life application over time.

The materials must be bought at a discount with the promise of multiple home shows, press coverage and internet videos.

It would be best to have carpenters/other trades on staff to avoid contractors overcharging to compensate for the unknowns of never before installed materials.

Pros: building materials can be bought for a discount in this case. Home shows and internet videos can be an added income stream

Cons: Contractors would overcharge to install an “unknown” system. Tenants may avoid renting these units as the materials are unfamiliar and having to vacate for showings. Tenants could also abuse the home, making the comparison between homes difficult. Material manufacturers could try to influence results to favour their products.

15.8 Jet Skis Only

Description: Operate a service that buys, sells and repairs vehicles with odd propulsion systems. Jet-skis are a good example as they are often left broken as few mechanics will service them. The service would travel a circuit from lake to lake repairing jet-skis and selling used ones. This may require some custom parts made by metal shops or 3D printing to replace old parts. It would require a warehouse of old parts and an online shop.

Pros: you corner a market on these types of machines. Every large, accessible lake has jet-skis, there is a market for this.

Cons: there is a maximum people will pay to fix a lake toy. The market for this may not justify a specific business.

15.9 Secure the Perimeter

Description: A combination dog collar and fence system. Sensors are set up at the perimeter of your yard. They correspond to a shock collar on your dog. If the dog barks without the sensor detecting entry onto your property, the dog is shocked. If something over a certain size crosses into you yard, the dog is free to bark. This is to train your dog not to bark at everything that passes by your property, only animals and people who enter, try to enter or get too close.

The sensors can turn on exterior cameras as well when something enters the yard. It could be triggered to open a dog door at night if something enters the yard as well.

Pros: this keeps your dog from barking all day just because someone is walking by, walking their dog by etc.

Cons: the dog may not care it’s being shocked and bark anyway. It could also be so used to not barking that it doesn’t bark when someone enters the yard.
