This controlled hurricane would turn turbines that would produce electricity. Sullivan claims that aside from generating cheap Earth-driven power, the Sullivan Generator would also make clean water as a byproduct, as well as mineral deposits including gold.
Since the concentration of gold in seawater is an estimated parts per quadrillion, vast amounts of water would need to be filtered to accumulate a moderate quantity of gold. The ocean is full of many other trace elements and minerals, which would need to be separated in order to extract the gold. The primary byproduct would be an absurd amount of salt. In fact the salt would be worth more than the gold.
Have you ever used a bluetooth headset? Darren Johnson thought it was a good idea when he went into the Shark Tank with the Ionic Ear, a bluetooth device that would be implanted just below your ear. The device would contain a microphone, a speaker, and a battery. When your battery runs low, you simply plug the AC adapter into the charging port which is located conveniently inside your ear.
The Sharks had a hard time taking this one seriously and they all dropped out as soon as they understood what he was pitching. There is no sign of the Ionic Ear today and no website. He would have needed FDA approval and clinical trials to get the product on the market. Drew Beaumier came up with his Robot Drive Suits concept in while working on an entry for a costume contest.
Since creating his first model, Drew has traveled around the globe performing at events and demonstrating his invention, a robot suit that is a functioning vehicle capable of about 12 mph.

While standing up robot mode your suit will just make you look insane, but if you want to take things to a suicidal level, just transform yourself into vehicle mode and drive away. It looked promising but the deal fell apart before the show even aired, during the due diligence period. Drive Suits is still making humans into transformers though, and their website has moved to robotsandcarsentertainment.
There is now that we have UroClub , a fake golf club with a hidden reservoir that you can pee into.
It even comes with a privacy towel to help you cover up when in use. Seskin admitted that he would have taken even less and knew that Kevin would turn the UroClub into a big hit.

The sketch comedy series ran from to , appropriately during Cartoon Network's night-owl block Adult Swim. Collaborator Doug Lussenhop, a Columbia College alum who's also worked on Portlandia and The Eric Andre Show , helped shape Awesome Show 's surrealist antihumor with a distinctive eye-popping editing style full of stutters, skips, loops, repetition, and animation.
A sketch could feature well-known comedians and actors such as Maria Bamford, Zach Galifianakis, Bob Odenkirk, and "Weird Al" Yankovic, or unknowns like David Liebe Hart, an amateur puppeteer and songwriter, and cut-rate celebrity impressionist James Quall. Reilly's clueless and painfully awkward Dr.
Like Heidecker and Wareheim, Chicago's Steve Gadlin shares an affinity for vintage public-access TV—but he happens to be a modern-day denizen of the public airwaves.
As the host for two seasons of the variety show Steve Gadlin's Star Makers on CAN TV, he's given a platform to everyone from singer-songwriters and interpretive dancers to balloon artists and literal pickle lickers. Gadlin intends to fund a third season of Star Makers if his IndieGoGo campaign, " I'm the guy that sold 1, raccoon penis bones! Yes, he's actually selling raccoon penis bones.

Is there something special about performing here? This is gonna sound like pandering, but it's true: It is the best place to do comedy, and I don't really know why. The audience is smart but also engaged and excited and fun without being obnoxious. We always start with Pequod's pizza. We eat about two of those before we go on, and then we wanna seriously die because we can't move.
So the first show is always a little slow, a little pizza induced. I feel like [Chicago's food] is representative of Chicago people in terms of comedy.
They're accepting of new, experimental cuisine, and it's the same as comedy. Everyone's open-minded and willing to freak the fuck out. We're the same age, 41, but growing up I never got into things like G. I was a huge cable-access watcher. I'd find random Christian puppet shows and just fixate on them, and I think that's why a lot of what you guys do really resonates with me. I watched a lot of things like Cannonball Run , Airplane!
I had a somewhat normal media diet because it was restrictive of what was available to me. Joe and He-Man and all that stuff. I consumed it dutifully. Growing up in Allentown, Pennsylvania, there was cable access. I recall watching televangelists with my dad and laughing at that. I loved it much more than sports, or karate movies. The Chicago comedy scene's different than the New York or LA comedy scenes in that we don't have pressure to create something marketable.
It's this playground for people to try experimental stuff. Did you find that same atmosphere when you were coming up in Philadelphia? But, I mean, we were on our own. We had no reference point, we had no fears, we were literally making stuff in our basement by ourselves.
