ATOT effect needed

[OOBradm]

My friend just finished a project for one of her engineering classes, and she gets a prize if her video has the most views in the class.

http://www.metacafe.com/watch/...15/you_gotta_see_this/

Please help her out by clicking on the video - you dont have to watch the whole thing if you dont want to.

Its basically an invention that lets small electronics charge from a heat source, in this case they use a blowtorch.

Thanks ATOT!

Done and done. That's pretty cool too btw. <rim shot>

Neat.

 

[ConstipatedVigilante]

That's pretty cool. I wish I could recharge my cell phone with my lighter.

Your female friend sounds like a dude, are you sure you've got that figured out? Not that there's anything wrong with that...

 

[dighn]

neat

looks very cool, imagine we could install those in cars and charge an electric battery from the motor's heat. endless energy?

I was thinking the same damn thing. Weird...

lol that's exactly what I was going to say

That's pretty cool.


Though I still think the best source of energy is solar and wind power. It's free (for the energy, not the equipment) and available at a constant rate.

its not a constant rate because the sun doesnt always shine and the wind isnt always blowing.

Well if you look at it over the course of a 24 hour period, you'll always have sun and most likely wind. So as long as you have a way to reserve the energy you can have a constant source of free energy. Region has a big impact too though. Like some regions don't get much wind, or hardly no sun, so would not work well.

Also I would assume a solar panel that is good still works if there's clouds as it's still fairly bright out, or would it?

Cool project. :thumbsup:

yeah they still work when clouds are in the sky

Engine would eventually shut-down/fail. not perpetual motion.

Nice video.

Interesting tags on that video ...
