exploding head nodding dog
those silly nodding dogs would be more amusing if their heads flew off in a puff of smoke every so often. | |
I have a prototype that comes with an air line that is connected to the car’s brake pedal. the container (the dog’s body) is pumped with air until after so many squeezes, the pressure in the container projects the dog’s head from its body at speed.
n.b. a word to the wise; position the nodding
dog so that the head does not fly through the open (or even, heaven forbid - closed) window. a little experimentation should resolve this.
a supply of talcum powder in the dog’s body compartment should provide what looks like a puff of authentic smoke and by joining the airline to the brake pedal and not one of the others, then the dog’s head will only explode when the car is at rest and hopefully also the car behind. this thoughtful measure is so that prosecutions for damage do not occur as the result of the driver behind being distracted.
the dog’s head can be retrieved remotely via a retracting cord much like an automatic tape measure, as the journey continues.

Which airline are you using? KLM? |
|
| |
You have air in your brake line? HGV? |

Everything else in the HB in harnessed to provide energy. Why not harness the bobbling action of the bobblehead so the dog pumps itself up? |
|
| |
Better yet, oh yes, use one of
[squogglewonker]'s earthquake energy
harvesters, attached to the dog's head,
to power a small pump. |
|
| |
But wouldn't you only get one puff befor you would need to replace the talcum powder? |
|
| |
<thinks...> attach a retracting cord to that as well <for a moment...> |
|
| |
Really [po] - you're starting to sound like [afro]. Next
you'll be loading the heads with dynamite. |
|

Bomble heads.

Those would even more popular if they
were Bush dolls instead of dogs. There
are lots of angry liberals out there who
would pay good money to have Bush's
head blown off. |
|
| |
agreed, how could you make that work? |
|
| |
no, to hit it off the shelf, something would need to penetrate the glass. |
|
| |
there's plenty of room in the dog's body portion to incorporate a talcum powder reservoir that is drawn by a venturi. attn: hidden truths 2005 |
