Sunny Days and Overcast days
Have thick shatter proof glass half circles, 2 ft high and 4 ft wide, on roof. The semi-circles must be air tight. Sun heats the air inside dome and water in an enclosed duct. Heated water turns to steam, starts movement on fan that blows hot air through paddles and starts turning to create electricity and movement of paddles to turn generator to power heat pump/ac and excess goes to rest of house and property and excess goes to electric co. Hot water and steam goes to hot water heater and turns paddles that create electricity by quickly turning paddles connected to heat pump/ac. Other paddles charge photovoltaic batteries to run everything when sun isn't shining.
Rainy Days
Rain runs into grooves on roof that direct it to holes with easily cleaned plastic screens over the hole openings to keep out leaves. As many pipes as grooves can supply depending on size of roof. Located on both pitches or all. The rain runs into the 3" pipes with paddles inside that turn by water pressure and power the electrical system and charge batteries.

Magnifying Lap Desk
A Magnifying Lap desk will come in handy for reading while in bed or in an area lacking a good flat work space.
The desk consists of a flat, sturdy, lightweight plastic board connected to a magnifying "glass" that will fold over the board with a paper or a book in between. The connection device is adjustable to allow from one page to 3 inches of pages with a large book under magnifier. There will be an LED light within the magnifier to help the reader see the reading material more clearly. Under the supportive plastic board will be a soft fabric material stuffed for maximum softness with a hypo-allergenic filler. The material will be attached all the way around to the plastic board, covering any sharp edges. The dimensions of the plastic board will be 12" x 24" with the pieces connected at the left edge and opening like a book. The stuffing will be light yet supportive and will maintain fluffiness. The covering material will be attractively patterned and colored and very substantial to avoid rips. The covering material will consist of "suede", corderoy, crushed velvet and other fabrics that will prevent slipping. There will be a zippered compartment along each side to store pens, pencils--any small items needed while reading, working at the desk.
