This really sounds like one of those "What If" deals that is trying to come up with something that hasn't been done before, on a budget and with stuff at hand.
There is a 99% failure rate on dreams like this, due to lack of money, time or abilities.
Of the stuff that reaches the test phase, I'd guess that the failure rate is still over 50% and by that time the thinker has found out enough to realise that the project is doomed because things that are already built are both cheaper and better.
Dreaming is great, but temper it with some knowledge of how the stuff works and if anyone has already littered the path with broken dreams.
