See-Saw Power

Now this is thinking ahead: kids using a see-saw on a playground to generate power. I bet we could all easily think of ten things like this in our lives that could turn our physical efforts into electricity rather than let it evaporate. There is no silver bullet for our energy needs, no single technology that will make it all better. We can use what we’ve already got, and ideas like this are what we need. Thanks for the tip, Guy.

    Yeah i’ve seen similar devices before. Specifically a merry-go-round which doubles as a water pump.

    Get those kids to work, damit!
