Ahh but thats the beauty of a Design Concept... You don't have to worry yourself with pesky details like the cost of Production, Retooling factories, Marketing, Support, Patents, Licensing... and lots of the time - Even being a functioning device!!
(Oh the number of 'passive' concepts I have seen
)
People quite often mistake the point of Design Concepts - Just look at the way people heap crap onto nearly every Japanese Concept Car... the point is to test 'concepts' - not produce a 'product'... they are two very very different things
Take any 'pipe dream' and wrap some modelling clay around it and sure it can be impressive... but its about 1/10th of getting a product to market
Heck - Personal JetPacks is probably a fantastic example of this
Or Room Temperature SuperCoductors (Physics be damned!!
)....
