A device that fits over your car's exhaust pipe, with a
rotating bubble disc that picks up solution from a
reservoir as it goes around. The disc has built-in
propeller fins so its rotation is powered by the exhaust.
In case the exhaust pressure is too high to reliably blow
bubbles, a vent
could be used to bleed off part of the
pressure to power the whole thing.
The faster your engine is turning, the more bubbles it
makes!

Neighborhood children could run into the road and pop the bubbles! |

Distracts chasing dogs as well. I'm having a hard time seeing a downside with this one... unless I'm the guy behind you that's run out of washer fluid. |

Bubble solution could probably be cut with washer fluid.
You could be doing someone a favor. |

My first Jeep had a broken tube on the rear wiper that
sprayed fluid directly backwards; I put a small sign in the
rear window that said "honk for free carwash." |
|
| |
Hah! We used to point the nozzle on the windscreen
washers sideways. This was in the days before car
airconditioning was popular and people drove with
windows down. |

Did you find it difficult to drive when it was wiping your rear? |
|
| |
Sorry [rcarty] I have to use that one.... |
|
| |
For some reason this sounds familiar...but here you go. [+] |

Unless it was an emergency, I'd find a place to pull over. |

Ewwww... A bubble full of car fumes. Yecch.... |
|

Nice - these bubbles should rise pretty fast, being full of exhaust gases which are warmer than the ambient air. Thus, the exhaust gases will get carried up above the stream of traffic rather than mingling with and being cooled by the surrounding air where they would be inhaled by motorists, pedestrians and cyclists. |
