Great Thoughts Friday: Kickstarter as a way to fund some of these crazy projects

I was thinking about this yesterday, but did not get around to writing this entry before today. So it really is a Great Thoughts Friday entry. 

Some of you may not know about Kickstarter. it is a site where one features project that requests funding from people on the interwebs. Examples for the technology or photography section include:

• Animo - Brainwaves for everyone
• BESPIN - Weather Balloon Space Exploration

• Aperture Science Sentry Turret
• Hipoflex

• Hackarduino: The Arduino Prototyping Platform
• olloclip: iPhone 4 quick change camera lens system

Following some of the themes mentioned here, what could be some of the crazy projects thast could be funded through Kickstarter ?

• an iPad/iPod app that downloads automatically all the pdfs featured on nuit blanche for offline viewing
• fly a high altitude balloon to get a hemispherical view of the horizon
• development of a platform to be flown on a high altitude balloon to allow for an on board camera to be directed from the ground
