   Stents that dissolve could be endoscopically placed at the lungs to treat COPD   
   and other things, drug eluting stents already exist but it is possible ice   
   cream sandwich stents could have value   
      
   I have read about stage musicians at performances wearing in-ear speakers so   
   they can hear their own instruments, the focalized audio technology that can   
   follow the person could possibly be used instead   
      
   Hormesis is when something bad for you is good for you in (usually) much   
   smaller doses, ionizing radiation is one of them, minute amounts of ethanol   
   double the lifespan of c elegans although ethanol is deleterious to humans,   
   they could make molecular    
   variants and screen them for hormetic benefits that are higher and at a wider   
   dose range like minute doses of butanol, propanol, pnetyl, hexyl, heptyl, or,   
   with ionizing radiation specific particle energies, more than 600 hormetic   
   chemicals have been    
   published   
      
   They could make checkerboard ice cream sandwiches # so each bite had a   
   different flavor and heightening flavor deliciousness so as you travelled   
   along the ice cream sandwich path, the ice cream would get even more delicious   
   and likely sweeter and sweeter    
   and call it Journey or something   
      
   I read about an autonomous bicycle that Combines several computer   
   architectures into one AI, this would be beneficial at powered exoskeletons,   
   and there are many possible applications, it is possible a vestibular sense   
   comfort drug could make using these    
   more pleasant and even fun, if the drug reduces other illnesses that would be   
   beneficial, one drug betahistine lowers blood pressure and does not have   
   sedative effects, it may have some localization to the vestibular system,   
   variations on this drug that    
   lower blood pressure slightly among the well (say 119 to 114) could prevent   
   some disease, if it does localize to the vestibular system then they can   
   screen molecules that do this better, find one that has high localization but   
   no drug effect then attach    
   it to a new molecule that effects neurons, noting over 100 different kinds of   
   neurotransmitter neurons a couple of the rarer neurotransmitter neurons   
   interrupting or downplaying vestibular responsiveness (too much causes vertigo   
   and dizziness) could    
   decrease dizziness and vertigo with minimal effects on cognition and   
   personality, look for the rare and localized neurons and drug them, sparing   
   cognition, emotion and personality   
      
   Some antivertigo drugs cause a rebound effect actually upregulating   
   sensitivity, it is possible drugs that very mildly upregulated vestibular   
   output while completely asleep would make it so there was resistance to   
   vertigo and dizziness while awake, also,    
   there could possibly be an absence of vertigo while asleep because the person   
   is laying flat and not moving much   
      
   I read dizziness effects people, there is likely a genetic component that can   
   be addressed with gene therapy   
      
   The green revolution contained breeding wheat with shorter varieties to cause   
   plants with a higher grain to stalk ratio, using the photosynthetic food more   
   efficiently, I do not know if they have screened mycorhizzial ecology for   
   fungi and bacteria that    
   cause plants to be shorter, if they do they could find these fairly easily by   
   measuring the height of identical strains of grains at different geographical   
   regions and soil types and finding the 9.99th percentile of actual grain:hay   
   mass ratio, they    
   could also combine the genes of the 99th percentile grain:hay ratio ones to   
   find out if that can produce a better grain:hay ratio than even the 99.9th   
   percentile mycorhizzial ecology   
      
   When oil and liquid hydrocarbons flow underground they have some moisture in   
   them and I think detergents    
      
   Oil wells come in different lengths/depths and I have read about having pumps   
   at the tops and base of a well, because oil wells come in different lengths   
   there is a place in the middle of the tube where another pump could raise   
   pressure to get oil out,    
   wires for power already reach the base, a mid-depth of tube pump could be semi   
   robotic, able to move, and having something like extensible drum brakes that   
   transversely extend out to fix it in place, there are many approaches to a   
   simple rugged pump but    
   a stack of >>> chevrons with one way flaps on them that moves up and down   
   could do it as well as a screw pump, I think this might be called an inline   
   pump, you just push the mid-pump down the hole to where engineers or computer   
   models think it should go   
      
   Some students learn well from educational software, there could be a quick   
   diagnostic where people learn something then they get a quiz three days later   
   and a psychometric test to find out if their personality is like those   
   students that keep up and pass,   
    those that do well could have online college and perhaps high school   
   coursework advertised to them in a favorable light, universities already have   
   endowed scholarships, those students the computer program projects would   
   actually raise their GPAs from    
   online coursework could get scholarships   
      
   I may have calculated that over the course of its life, each century an   
   evergreen tree produces 40,000 seeds, and if a forest remains the same size   
   produces 1 plant to replace itself, I think that could go up an order of   
   magnitude with 10 seeds surviving    
   to mature trees, genetically engineering evergreen seeds that survive the   
   digestive tracts of herbivores (squirrels), drought resistance, and possibly   
   make birth control peptides and proteins could do this as well, immunity to   
   "do not germinate"    
   chemicals other plants make could also assist, the trees could be beautiful,   
   tall and useful, this would also work with non evergreen deciduous trees   
      
   Nootropics modified to be body side only of the blood brain barrier could   
   benefit reaction times and physical motion abilities like dance without   
   effecting cognition, making them hydrophilic, negatively charged and attaching   
   certain amino acids to them    
   to make them more than 400 AMU could keep them on the body side of the blood   
   brain barrier   
      
   Dopamine is a rewarding neurotransmitter, dopamine antagonists that stay on   
   the body side of the blood brain barrier could cause greater longevity
