Fetus power
Start with a flexible and expandable harness... | |
Open the amniotic sac, apply harness to fetus, close sac. Now, every time the fetus kicks or moves some other way, the harness generates electricty. This electricity could be used to power an in-womb low-volume music device --or perhaps something else; I'm only suggesting a music device because it
is known that older fetuses appear to like music. They also have enough brainpower to quickly learn that their movements cause the music, so they will get plenty of exercise if we simply make sure to include appropriate music. Jazzercise-in-the-womb, call it, perhaps.
One consequence is that after such unusual exertion, caused by wanting to hear the music, the fetus will fall asleep faster and sleep longer, benefiting its pregnant hostess by giving her a better chance to get a decent amount of sleep....

Less invasive idea

someone you know is pregnant, yes? Opening the
womb is never a good idea. just play the music on the
outside. |
|
| |
As pointed out above, too invasive. Try custard-suspended piezo devices in fashionable mommy-wear. |
|
| |
oh and somehow the baby stepping downwards onto the bladder could result in a neat bass drum rhythm... |
|
| |
there must be a way that the music could be generated from outside the mother's body without the need for this dangerous harness. |
|
| |
on the subject of the harness, is it leather with metal links and horse brasses? |
|
| |
Ooh, pony girl wear, I like it ;-) |
|

Just for the record, this is a non-serious Idea, posted for the fun of it. And no, no known pregnancies had anything to do with thinking it up. |
|
| |
On another hand, if someone wanted to pursue it seriously, then the above objections regarding danger in opening the amniotic sac would easily explain why this Idea is Half-Baked. That is, that sac problem must be thoroughly solved before this Idea could be seriously considered. |

Just received the subpoena for the paternity test? |
|
| |
pregnancy is a stage faaaar in my past, but I can still
cringe when I read this. |

Dentworth, I've explained before that "Dentworth" is clearly
a male name. When will you abandon this twisted fantasy? |
|

Makes me wonder if infants <later edit> fetuses <l/e> could learn a rudimentary morse code type thing where they reply with kicks. One kick for yes, and two kicks for no.
Since they already know all of the important stuff in the womb that they begin un-learning at birth it could be quite enlightening. |
|
| |
(+) For making me wonder that. |
|
| |
yes Max , whatever you say Max. and I've said before
dentworth starts with a lower case d. I guess I also
want to say this is bad science but not bad enough to
mfd, and it could also be seen as cruelty, but not
realistic enough to be taken that seriously. so Vernon
have your fun. |
