Brainstorming Ideas for Adding Light to TV Projection

Has anyone been trying to figure out a way to add light to a projection being made from a TV, like the one at "Very simple projection Tv plans" (search for it to view, I am lazy right now and don't want to post a link)? As in creating a TV projector and putting more light into the projection so that you don't need a larger TV to project? Also, as has been said in the beforementioned topic, to un-reverse the image, just add another lens to flip it back around- maybe use one as a flipper and one to focus?!

My idea for adding light is (I think) theoretically doable. What if you added light into, taking this as an example, into the black cardboard tubing just above and in front of the TV at a very small angle, or even on top of the TV at the same angle as the TV, but before the freshnel lens? In theory, the two different light sources would combine to form a single, brighter image. Anyone wishing to test this, go right ahead-I wish I had the time.

And if this has been answered (I searched but it came up with completely irrulevant answers), sorry for the post.
 
I wil tell you right now that using two frenels will not fix your image... In fact, it will make it very, very faint. The best way is to have a repair shop change the yoke (i belive it is called)... The second best way is to use a mirror. If you read on how fresnel work you would understand why. www.howstuffworks.com. Also making a tv brighter is virtually impossable, unless you can somehow open up the tv tube and stick in a brighter light. That is to say you get around the high voltage and are able to re vacum it. Could you add an external light? Who knows... Why don't you make an lcd projector, you will actually get a desent picture that way for under 200 bucks...
