Would we have to convert our grid to 9v?
Oh and for patent protection update the battery type to rechargeable, so your patent doesn't get trumped with a superior design, however unlikely the possibility of something being superior to this.
SHISHKABOB said:the reason why windmills use wind to turn them is because wind is a nearly infinite source of power as long as it's blowing. If the guy (or something else) pushed on the windmill, all of his energy would go directly into generating electricity. So why not just have the guy do something else that doesn't involve a giant vacuum chamber.

I don't see the purpose of that set up.

Pengwuino said:You've only delayed the issue because that oxygen tank can only last a finite amount of time. He will die soon. Physics demands this.
Seriously though, this idea is stupid and I hope you realize this. The instant someone tries to draw a current (in other words, actually use the electricity), the turbines will come to a stop via Lenz's law. I actually did this once in class as it is very easy to show. I setup a steam turbine generator system and boiled some water to spin the sucker. It setup a good 10-12V AC potential. Then I hooked up a small 1 watt incandescent light bulb to the generator , allowing current to actually flow. The instant I connected it, the generator stopped dead in its tracks. The back EMF stopped the turbine just as any actual load on your hypothetical system would stop the turbines immediately as well.
"gigantic vacuum chamber"shishkabob said:remember conservation of energy and friction?
Borek said:Perhaps these pictures were intended to be funny, but the only thing they do is they break the forum formatting because they are too wide.
And the friction on the mechanisms and via the magnetic fieldKartiky14 said:"gigantic vacuum chamber"shishkabob said:remember conservation of energy and friction?
phinds said:Since you have the battery shorted out all this setup will do is create a very hot wire and/or blow the battery.
Pengwuino said:Thus, killing the guy.
See, the guy always dies.
Or a stupid way...leroyjenkens said:Maybe the purpose of the device is to kill the guy in an innovative way.

The purpose of this image is to challenge our perceptions and biases towards new ideas and innovations. It aims to spark critical thinking and open-mindedness towards unconventional or seemingly "stupid" ideas.
This image defines innovation as the creation or introduction of something new or improved, while stupidity is defined as a lack of intelligence or common sense. It suggests that what may seem innovative to some may be perceived as stupid by others.
No, there is not a clear distinction between innovation and stupidity. The line between the two can be blurred and subjective, as what may be considered an innovative idea to one person may be seen as stupid to another.
Yes, something can be both innovative and stupid. This image suggests that innovation and stupidity are not mutually exclusive and can coexist in a single idea or concept.
This image can challenge our preconceived notions of what is considered innovative and stupid. It can encourage us to think critically and be open to new and unconventional ideas, rather than dismissing them as stupid without giving them a chance.
