Babies. They like white or whitish noise, such as the hairdryer going, or the sound of a car engine. These noises will send them to and keep them asleep.
Babies. Not, when in comfortable cot, crib or basket repose, that manoeuvreable.
You. A proud owner of the Hovercot, which provides white
noise from its coal, petrol or pigeon powered engine, along with the smooth ease of movement that comes from resting on a cushion of air.
You, half drunk with lack of sleep, playing Baby Pong in the comfort of your own suburban midden.

Complete with ear plugs, perhaps? |

Blessings are showering down upon you, and yours. |

So... when trying to get Baby asleep, you are literally burning the
midnight oil? Well sure, and you can't really put a price on Baby's
silence, so I guess the fuel costs are totally worth it. I'd get one
for my stepson. Little bugger keeps us awake half the night. For
the other half, I put in earplugs. |

I thought this would follow around a habitual sleepwalker and take him back home when he laid down. Not that this would work for me, it could never keep up with the car. |

For a moment I was expecting a newly discovered lost
episode of Blue Jam to begin. |

Baby Pong. I remember that and it chills me to my feet. It's like old Vietnam veterans and the rank, oily smell of napalm. |

"You smell that ? DO YOU SMELL THAT ? Napalm, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that .... i love the smell of Napalm in the morning ...." |

We consider that this invention could be considerably improved by using a pyrotechnic gas generator as the power source. |
|
| |
But you consider that about most inventions, nicht wahr? ;) |

Is there any reason why it wouldn't be able to be powered by battery or AC electricity? Coal, petrol, and pigeons are all fairly dirty. |

None at all - I think that both would be better than coal or petrol (though I have a soft spot for the use of pigeons as a power source). Howsobeit, had I put these eminently sensible power-source suggestions into my posting, the idea would have been torn to raggedy, joyless little bits by the ruthlessly practical and whimsy-deficient element of the massed halfbakers. Reverse pandering, I suppose. |

But they're quite difficult to light. |
