I have been sitting on two ideas for many years now. One is potentially environmentally helpfull and perhaps wildly profitable. The other is a way to repair the hole in the ozone layer. I realize that neither fall into the confines of your contest, but to sit on them any longer may be immoral. The first may reduce fossil fuel usage by at least 10% globally. The second would cost a whole lot of money and require the assistance of NASA.

As far as the first goes I might need a patent attorney.

The second is so out of the box it does’nt matter. Here goes.
As you may know, ozone can not be created at ground level to the benifit of the ozone layer. Actually it’s a very bad thing down here. Ozone can be created with electricity and oxygen. To carry oxygen into orbit with current technology would destroy more than it could help.

Recent discovery says that the moon has lunar ice caps. Using robotic mining equipment and solar plants to convert the ice to hydrogen and oxygen, drones could then use the hydrogen as fuel, and go into low earth orbit with their payload of oxygen. The oxygen would then be delivered to orbiting solar-powered ozone generators, dropping the ozone from above, and the drone would then return to the moon base.

Just a thought.
