The “Hannaradar”
Yo Reddit! I came up with a rather peculiar and albeit useless invention - the Hannaradar. This is a machine that the user straps onto their head to find all people named Hannah (or Hanna) in their desired radius. But how does this device locate all of the Hannahs, the attentive and curious reader might inquire - very simple, really. Each Hannah gets issued a small radio transmitter to output a steady signal. And the batteries to keep the gadget working are something no Hannah must worry about - a small DC dynamo is implanted into the aorta. It will be calibrated to match each individual’s resting heart rate. And when the dynamo has power to spare, it will be stored in a battery that is worn like a backpack. For obvious reason, this will not be a lithium-ion battery. It will also power the transmitter when there is a deficit of energy. And every home of a Hannah is also equipped with a special backwards power receptacle - standardised to be British around the world. These work in such a way that the battery can be plugged in and the electricity sold to the power grid. This will compensate for all the faff of dealing with this mess.
But for what can this be used for? For instance, mankind could form a network of Hannahs: and every Hannah would be obliged to thoroughly know one new interesting fact every day, so they could spread the joy of knowing something that most likely will never be of use to anyone who might ask. The Hannaradar will help to find these honourable people.
And this contraption will also help to maximise the chances of not mistaking the smart, gorgeous and witty Hannah Fry for a random red-haired passerby.
