The Garrett update

The Garrett has been changed from 'Sarcasm' to 'Snarky'
This is a more accurate reflection of what I am trying to do. Make a punctuation that adds a level of clarity to online conversations.

Warm beds

Imagine a cap over a heating vent in the home. A plastic tube comes out of the cap and attaches to your bed.
Now hot air is blown into your bed or box spring whenever the heat comes on, or A/C I suppose.

Swine Flu

How come there hasn't been any stories of news people looking into the illegal alien culture to see if people are getting sick but are to afraid to report it?
Maybe someone has and there isn't a story, but still I would ahte for there to be an underground spike in swine flu that suddenly blossoms into the main stream media without warning.
Not that I think this is the end of the world, just to be prudent.

Spiral Solar Thermal

Traditionally Solar Thermal is trough about 100 yards long with a Fresnel lens focusing light to super heat a liquid. This heated liquid is stored and then used to heat water, creating stem and turning a generator to produce electricity.
The holding take holds the liquad through the night providing 24/7 power. There are also concentrated mirror types.

No imagine the top 10 floors of a high rise dedicated to solar thermal. Use a spiral design, the windows would be your lenses. Put the steam generator in the middle, even without an holding tank it would go a long way to offset energy costs.

Actually with the much smaller foot print, they could be used anywhere there is a little open space.

What I mean by 'Idea'

By 'Idea' I mean something practical. This might be an improvement or something new but it should be practical.
For example:
"We should all have jet packs."
While a great idea, it's not very practical.
If I had an idea on how to improve the thrust/weight ratio, then that would be a practical idea. That being the only real problem that would need to be solved for jet packs.
