Wednesday, August 27 - Animal Invention


                                                  Sniff Detector?

         Dogs have a really great sense of smell. They know right where to go if you have food anywhere in the house even if the food is concealed. Certain dogs are trained to sniff out poisoned/spoiled food or even drugs. Who has the time and money to buy a dog and train it for these things? There should be an invention that does this stuff for you. It could be a gadget that you simply place in front of the thing you want it to detect and it will say if it is clear or not. This is great if you don't quite know if a certain food is expired or not. The police force could also use this because they do not have a dog on hand at all times for drugs. This gadget is a subtle way to check for drugs because it could be small and concealed. A dog is not very subtle. It could also check for buried humans if they got stuck in an avalanche or it is a murder case. The name could be the "Sniff Detector". This could also sniff out the difference in the salt and sugar for example if you are baking and get confused. This " Sniff Detector would be a useful tool all around the world. It is like the sense of smell a dog has without the hassle and the smell is heightened.

  1. Positive = enhanced smell would be pretty useful
    Constructive = you need to be more specific of how this would work. Is it a implant or a devise you carry on you?
