Magnetic tarp that can stick to car
Magnetic tarp that can stick to car
Idea Description
The tarp will have very powerful magenets on one end and is weighted on the other to keep the tarp from fluttering about in the wind. This would also be made of a waterproof and reflective material that not only keeps the user dry but it would be able to be seen at night and keeps the sun off it during the day. Useful when you're stuck in the middle of nowhere and it's pouring and you need to change a tire and want to stay dry or in the middle of the desert and you need to check on your engine and you want to keep in the shade.
What will you do if you win $10,000 for this idea?
My next step would be to pitch this to a few major automotive companies as this would assist motorists around the world. I would have to have a prototype built to show the companies and also research into different fabrics and materials as well as magnets in order to ensure compatibility with most cars.
Vote for it now.

try using the same material they use on camping tents. it strong keeps water out, light, strong, easy to fold up.
Shepps iidea of an emergency reflective tarp sounds great. how about this a tarp thats a bright orange with reflective tape across the middle and edges. 2ft in hieght and 3or4ft in lenght comes with magnet sewn inti it every twelve inches or so. or small suction cups every twelve inches. so that if you are on the side of the road and changing a tire. you take the tarp out of your trunk open it like a blanket and stick it on to the back or side of your car whatever part is facing traffic so on-coming traffic can see you easier?
