Design a ‘kinetic keyboard’ for laptop computers. The
                       battery life of the computer would be extended by the
                       energy provided by the user’s keystrokes when typing.
                       When switched to ‘kinetic mode’ the keys would offer
                       more resistance in order to convert more energy. The
                       effort required would be similar to that needed when

377typing on an old fashioned manual typewriter.

                       Retail individual, bottled fizzy drinks with plastic
                       drinking straws already inside the bottles. When the
                       cap is unscrewed, the straw would be lifted above the
                       neck by the air bubbles.
