Hydro Pillow

In the spririt of dumb-waiters and garbage chutes, I would like to propose a cost-efficient electricity supplement for use in high density urban settings (high rise apartments). The idea hit me the other day, after waking up in the morning with my cheek swimming in a puddle of my own night-slobber...I thought to myself, hmmm, self, how many other people do you think woke up this morning with wet cheeks of their own? My internal dialogue entered into a spirited debate, and resulted in the decision that most people drool in their sleep, and end up with saturated pillow cases.

So, now what? Well, the short story goes like this...each apartment unit should be fitted with a manual wringing device to put your pillow into every morning. The wringer will wring out all liquid in the pillow case and send it down a drain which connects to a common chute. This chute extends down the entire length of the building, ending in the basement. Here, a small generator will be creating electricity from the power of the stream of slobber each morning. This humble electric current could be used to power the night lights at the back of the building for security, or could be used to recharge a battery which is used to operate any number of small appliances in the common areas etc.

Yours in wetness.
