billvon 3,121 #28 June 27, 2003 How about: A PBMR (type of nuclear reactor) that operates at temperatures high enough to dissociate water. You put one of these on the coast and use filtered seawater to cool the plant. The high temperature stage dissociates water to hydrogen and oxygen; you vent the oxygen and pipe the hydrogen to people for fuel. The waste heat drives steam turbines/generators like they do at a normal nuclear plant, and the wet steam is then used to boil ocean water. The ocean water is condensed to fresh water to feed the dissociator and provide drinking water for nearby cities. You end up with a plant that generates electricity, hydrogen and fresh water from seawater. A cellphone you can drop in any country with an evil dictator. They form ad-hoc networks (i.e. each cellphone can also relay calls from other cellphones) and are encrypted so the government can't get one and eavesdrop on people. Within days you have a secure network that people can talk to each other on to forment dissent, plan plots to overthrow the dictator, ask advice of their pal in New Jersey etc. We keep the ESN's and PN values, of course, so when Al Qaeda gets their hands on them we can listen in on them. Cheap, small aircraft (<50 lbs) that can take off and fly to anywhere in the world via GPS. They try to land at their destination; if they can't land, they use a parachute or just crash. Give them a range of 1000 miles, and they can carry emergency supplies, mail, vaccines etc to people just about anywhere on the planet. Again, we'd make sure there was a way to disable one that was, say, headed to the Sears Tower with a suspicious payload. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SpeedRacer 1 #30 June 28, 2003 little miniature cameras that are inside little animatronic birds that can actually make at least one flight and land safely (maybe even perch on a bush or rock or tree limb). They can transmit images to a satellite. Then the satellite beams the images to computers where the images can be viewed. You fly over eastern Afghanistan and drop a bunch of these birds in so you can find bin Laden & his gangs.

Have them sit on a rock in the Grotto at the Playboy mansion. I don't need to know where OBL is today, but I'm darned interested in what goes on at the Grotto.
