Thousands of olfactory gourmets can’t be wrong. You too can enter the world of richer fragrances at your fingertips, when you strap on your foot-long nostril extender.
Unlike a cheap rip-off that looks like a pair of soda straws, these designer tubes unite in a common spiracle with an attractive
flare at the end. Insert the double barrels in your nose, pull the elastic loops over your ears and take pleasure in the intense scent of a steak, the bountiful bouquet of a lily or the inebriating whiff of your honey’s cleavage. It’s also excellent for covert self-checks for underarm odor.

Should be used before attaching the Nostril Extender. Is there a word for the nose-based equivalent of the gastronome? If not, there really should be. [lostdog, Oct 05 2004]

Nose Trumpets for the hard of smelling... Excellent, FJ. |
|
| |
Or, if you opt for the elephant's trunk snorkel arrangement, you can happily push through the madding crowds of commuters, without inhaling the body odors prevalent at such close quarters. |

Is that a nostril extender in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me? |
|

Love the concept, but be careful with the design. [bz]'s nose tubes should be thinner, as the current design looks like you'll need a full inhalation before you'll get any scent. Minimize volume (to a point just before air friction becomes an issue), and this is a winner. |
|

[phundug], I think you mean "...happy to smell me." |
|
| |
Useful for directing sternutation ejecta as well. |
|
| |
Attach Shop-Vac for instant decongestant. As is [waugs], I'm thinking "snot ducts". |
|
| |
Just imagine falling on your face... |
|
| |
...I suppose if you're lucky the ends would come out of your ears. Leaving you cupping your hand to your nose for the rest of your life whenever anyone speaks too quietly to you. |

[just back from reality, the sensation hasn't worn off yet] |

Won't you actually need some kind of turbo charger or
something to get more scent molecules over your smell
receptors, (or whatever they are called)? Here you are still
using your lungs to inhale, so the volume/second of air
through your nose is the same. I can see the great benefit
of isolating the scent source that this invention provides,
but is that amplification? How? I must be missing
something. (re-read what I just wrote) Well now I'm
really confused. You must be on to something. [+] |

I was thinking the same thing -
the inlet trumpetty bits should
have little fans to force more air
in. |
|
| |
That sure is pretty, bris. If they're hooked up wrong, they may prove to be brain shredders. |
|
| |
Wow, looks like [bristolz] has too much free time. Is that
SolidWorks? |
|
| |
Keep away from John Belushi! |
|
| |
So do the impellers alternately inhale and exhale, or do you have to breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth? Or is one nostril the intake and the other one the exhaust? |
|
| |
Those seem a good three questions for hippo and oxen crossing. |

I was just about to post this idea. I'm late by 8
years. ++. |
