Brainstorming as its commonly taught suggests that you mentally respond to every constraint identified during a session with "and" .... "such a filter requires extremely consistent pore sizes" and "consistent hole sizes are a natural outcome of self-replication in nature..."

I found Steve Jobs did something additional... "what else" at different scales...
We should open a coffee shop
What else
Here you have a number of vectors...
And a bookstore
Or/and
Enable On-line meetings from the shop...big screens etc
Or/and
And place them in trucks
Or/and
Many across the country to leverage the meetings
Or/and
Offer a substitute for coffee and baked goods
Perhaps coffee with muscle stimulators in the chairs
To improve muscle tone and mental games
Etc

great thoughts, many tnx Ed! — esp. like the use of "Or/and" connectors — as some folks have commented, one good method is to forbid people when responding to a wild idea from saying "But ..." (raising objections) and require them to say "And ..." (building upon previous suggestions)
