PDA magnifier

Sounds dorky, but its practical: the idea comes from the movie
Brazil. The scene at work where their computer terminals are sitting
behind big magnifying screens is not so farfetched. If you are going
to be on a plane and plan on watching a movie on your smartphone, you
could whip out your 6 inch wide magnifying cover screen and watch the
movie 30% larger. It would be rigid, and be held in place one inch or
do above the smartphone screen. Snaps on place. Made of corn Plastic.
Inexpensive.
X2 idea value. Shazam!

Functional Designer Whirligigs

Home power should be cool. Those backyard whirligigs (they are often
made to depict little scenes like a guy rowing a boat or a woman
churning butter or something), they should be larger and cooler and
should actually do real power generation.
Sure, some power is lost making the cool action scene, but ya gots ta
have you some fun!
