Hee hee! The best
impossible Pop Tronics April Fool's project was the one that we see very often today!
The solar powered nightlight!
Back then, economical rechargeable dry batteries and LED Lights had not been invented.
I had earlier done a solar cell project and remember looking at the schematic for about two seconds and thought "No way is that little solar cell going to provide enough amperage for that light bulb --." Then it dawned on me if there was enough light for the solar cell, one would not need the night light.
