ELECTRICAL SOUND

Its interesting that you can get sounds that are so evocative of an electrical action through something purely mechanical. When sound comes from an electric generator, such as the one hidden in the shed in case the electricity fails, its an electrical (not sure thats the right word) sound isnt it? I thought, but like with the car, it is a physical mechanical sound. Talking and house music need electrical sound to transmit.

POTENTIAL ENERGY TO MOVEMENT

To apply extra touches, like the additional tube in this contraption adds a more applicable element to an otherwise less useful movement.

Hydro power in movement

This is a potential in energy generation. If you think of the way a horse lopes, something like this would be constantly swished back and forth, and so putting a turbine inside may beable to make that movement capturable.

How and how much we need and need to create

giving away the secrets beneath

these little washers are moving around, looking a bit like fish in a pond. They seem to do it alone but are actually being acted on by a magnetic force, the same force which could potentially be the source of getting your torch to work.

Food conversion comparison


1.5Kg = 1Kg Fish
2.0Kg = 1Kg Chicken
2.4Kg = 1L Ethanol
3.0Kg = 1Kg Pork
5.0Kg = 1Kg Beef
40Kg = 1Kg Human

So you see, humans are very bad converters of energy. Perhaps that is the reason we don't cultivate and eat each other.
