I was inspired by cw&t's brilliant nounnoun. Which randomly pairs two nouns from a database to come up with new novel names. This simply adds a visual element to the process to come up with ideas for products and solutions. Borrow it, use it, add to it, break it - for goodness sake!
Try the IDEA MACHINE out.

Some good ideas generated by the program.
We could use a great number of small, low cost, planes like this one to autonomously collect air quality data on a massive scale for scientists.
What better way to explain protein synthesis and function, than to use the analogy of rope and knots to explain the way that a chain of amino acids forms a protein that functions in a specific way.
What if we used multiple LEDs in different colors to better track and analyze movement. We could track the movements of master craftsmen and athletes.
If self driving cars become a reality, we could use small, light duty, driverless electric delivery vehicles to deliver freight. This could reduce emissions of tons of CO2 on the infamous "last mile" of package delivery.
What if we integrated flexible solar panels into all personal electronics like cameras and cell phones? We might be able to do without chargers, or at least, charge them less often.
Lets make a chair out of paper pulp.
Is the Mayan written language like a graphic novel? Does it make written language more like graphic storytelling? How do typography, and graphic elements of written language tell part of a story?
What if we made clothing like this dress out of paper or cardboard.
