NEVER underestimate the ingenuity of a desperate man! Where to all of these "devices" originate from? They originate from all the "stuff" that quits working and is "abandoned" by those without the "vision" to see that something that's "broken" may still be useful....

Which reminds me of the ingenuity/desperation of the American Army officer trying to organize, run, and supply the Phillipine Resistance to the Japanese during WW2. Making bullets by hand-filing brass curtain rods to shape, cobbling together a radio out of some really unlikely stuff, and lots of other "Mother of Invention" stuff.
