A New Zealand man named Sandy Sanderson made a business out of the aluminum softdrink cans that are so plenty here in the Philippines. This is a great negosyo idea for anyone who wants to starts small and the materials can be found readily.

Here is a report from Jalopnik. While finishing a canned beverage he thought of model airplanes he’d seen made from cans and thought why not make cars out of the same material? And thus was born the CanCar.

Now Sandy is selling copies of his plans for building the cars on his website for $10 each. A business that helps recycling and makes money…a great deal!

Ever annoyed driving in some exclusive roads that have humps which can be stressing to break, change gear and push the accelerator again? Well here is an innovative idea that is good to have here in the Philippines.

They call it “smart” but I think it’s genius: Concern about the environmental impact of excessive breaking and accelerating has led Mexico to develop a “smart” speed bump writes USA Today.

When a driver is going the speed limit, the bump retracts into the ground. Says the company manufacturing the device: “With this speed bump, people will feel rewarded for obeying the law.”

Tarpaulin printing business are popping up everywhere in the Philippines right now, with so much competition, one needs to have some unique ideas in order to stay afloat. Here is a great idea to help the tarpaulin business or start your own niche business using the large format printers use in tarpaulin printing.

On even the most tastefully appointed of houses, garage doors tend to be drab and monochrome eyesores, designed apparently without even the smallest nod to aesthetics. A German company aims to change all that, however, with large-scale posters that transform the doors through highly realistic 3D images.

Style-your-garage.com’s photo tarpaulins are available with a variety of motifs and images that are sure to cause neighbours, friends and passers-by to stop and stare.

A photographic version of trompe l’oeil, some are designed to give the impression that unusual contents can be found in the garage, such as an airplane, race car or monster-sized kitty. Others aim to provide a glimpse of the world beyond the garage door, such as a Tuscan landscape or what seems to be the home’s very own golf course.

Another series, meanwhile, aims to give the garage door itself another look altogether, such as through a rustic wooden appearance. Consumers can also upload the digital image of their choice and have it turned into a customised photo tarpaulin. In fact, Style-your-garage.com invites consumers to submit ideas for new designs as well, and promises a share of the profits if their idea gets accepted.

The company’s posters are designed primarily for up-and-over garage doors but can be adapted for sectional or wing doors as well. Crafted from material similar to that used for truck tarpaulins, they are rip-proof, weather-proof and even come with a fire safety certificate.
