    When I was a kid I learned how aircraft wings worked, then visualized one spinning so the airfoil was annular. Then I rememebered the frisbee already existed.

    I was going through a lot of batteries at that time (hello, Radio Shack free battery punchcard!) and dreamed of wirelessly powering devices from a wallsocket transmitter. My TX looked like an upright toilet paper roll for some reason. A few decades later I was delighted to learn Tesla had been interested in the idea, too. Vindication, bishes!
