today Make Blog has two projects that could keep the bailiffs away from the door this cold dark winter.
Shake it like a Tic-Tac! (Rechargeable led flashlight powered by magnets in a Tic-Tac case)
or try a “Self charging LED cactus”
me, I will unplug the door bell, make a crystal radio & tune to 252LW on the bed post, soon crystal technology will be the only FTA radio available (joke) but T3 gadget mag (all style no substance or detail) says Satellite radio is coming for a small fee, see here
Also on free energy.. the guys in my business park (no i don’t own the park)
from a company called Steorn have invented free energy…. oil hungry juntas listen up, as Dempsey launches the first green paper on energy for nearly 30 years today, a few miles away in an old IDA unit in East Wall a company claims to have invented free energy.
from RTE
It says its invention smashes one of the basic laws of physics by producing free energy. The company, called Steorn, has placed an advertisement in the Economist seeking 12 top scientists to examine its invention, based on magnetic fields, and publish their results. It says the energy eliminates the need to recharge mobile phones or refuel cars.
1. The technology has a coefficient of performance greater than 100%.
2. The operation of the technology (i.e. the creation of energy) is not derived from the degradation of its component parts.
3. There is no identifiable environmental source of the energy (as might be witnessed by a cooling of ambient air temperature).
The sum of these claims is that their technology creates free energy.

what ever happened to the monsters INC idea of getting free energy from kids laughter?
