    The Wilkinson ATD™ self-tuning bridge, which has been under development by Trev and his team at ‘Auto Tuning Developments’ over many years, is a super low profile, real time electro-mechanical device utilising ultra hi-tech micro gearboxes, designed to retrofit unobtrusively in to a standard Strat® vibrato bridge rout, (or similar), with a micro hex pickup, controls small enough not to notice, and an intuitive one touch button controlling all the functions and features of this truly incredible device.

    Spoon shaped chop sticks, so I can fake it better.

    A machine to convert dangerous methamphetamines back into useful pseudoephedrine so I can go back to wearing my fishbowl like a space helmet.

    That would be a great compliment to my indent-maker, for converting pancakes to waffles.

    Maybe we can market it with the Egg Unscrambler, for converting scambled eggs to sunside-up.

    I've also invented a device for converting lemonade back to lemons. I have a great marketing slogan: "When life gives you lemonade, make lemons!"

    I'd like cereal that doesn't stay crispy in milk. That way, I wouldn't have to wait for it to get properly soggy with the milk.

    The solar-powered candle.

    Room-temperature subconductor-- the colder you get it, the less electricity it carries.

    The macrochip-- a processor designed to fill as much space as possible.

    The nuclear-powered Geiger counter.

    The Giger counter-- it detects disturbing surrealist art.

    They have one, and it goes on once every 24 hours, but nobody's figured out how to turn it on at different times!

    And you forgot the guygirl counter. It counts the gender ratio at parties.
