I don't know if this counts but it works for me.
It's simple - and extension of uses of things already there - I use my mobile phone light for reading at night and my computer for warming my hands and water and cold food when it's cold because my comp gets heated up but best of all is in the nights when it's cold I don't use the light but the heater's light and that too, for a dual purpose - to give me light plus dry my clothes if they are wet. I wash my clothes with my hands - old Indian thing - and can dry them in the sun by hanging them out or if it's urgent by killing two birds with one stone - heater at night as light plus dryer. No washing machine.
I can put up photos of all these things but the most interesting thing is how my comp heats up and I think if I can think of it a bit more I could warm food on it and/or keep it warm if it's already hot. This would work in cold places like the one I'm in at present though it worries me that some people can't afford laptop computers.
Anyway the principle is light and heat can do two things at the same time and I want to leverage this more so it can help lots of people.
Even mobile phones when hot after charging can be used for little things I think like ironing handkerchiefs.
Maybe later I'll put in the photographs.

Future

Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More
