Sometimes things get done because someone does not know that it cannot be done. How is that we can limit ourselves by the perspective of something being impossible? Why do we as a race mock those we seek to try to the impossible? It appears that the first time is always the hardest, the no one has done it, what make you think you'll succeed. Maybe it's just a matter of perspective on the impossible, much like the famous math student who solves an unsolved equation because he thought it was part of a homework assignment. The sonic "barrier" also considered impossible. Just wondering how far we will go if we stop thinking about the thing we "cannot" do, and instead consider what we can!
In response "Thought 14 - Perpetual Cat" sugarbumkin said, "The same theory could be applied to balloons tied to kindergarteners at recess. I like it." Well this got me thinking... Clothes with that are laced with MEMS generators. A MEMS generator is a solid state electronic circuit that generates low level of current though passive motion of the environment. Things like temperature change, acceleration, and even Brownian motion are converted to power using a MEMS generator. So, now we have attached them to small free moving bipeds of pure energy. How do we get the energy back. I figure that we isolate the playground into a large battery configuration where the children are running around on a conductive plate that makes contact with the heels of their shoes. They will run around with a super capacitor in addition to the MEMS, when their feet touch the ground the super-cap is discharged into the conductive plate underneath them. I do not think that the childr...
