Random power generation thought

[eno31krad]

Sorry didn't look too deep into it but had a random thought (and a couple drinks) ; would it be plausible to generate power by harnessing angular momentum from passing molecules? Perhaps hydro and wind generators could get an efficiency boost?

Welcome to PF.

This doesn't make any sense to me. Can you explain in more detail what you want to harness and how?

Angular momentum of molecules is randomly distributed, how would you sort out their directions to get a net increase in the motor? This is similar to the idea of Maxwell's Demon.
