Japan - New ticket gates use you to generate electricity

Something tells me you won't be saving anything on your train ticket over this either!

PS. Sorry about the translation, but I don't read Japanese.

Link is busted. :down:

Just clicked it and worked for me. Its going through Google because I am not aware of two many other engines that translate Japanese.

Must had been a glitch, OK now. Not sure what to think about that one. :hmm:

Great news!

Finally, a use!

Have any of you seen those "dancing" machines on Arcades where our teens go jump and stomp at the pad after finishing their home-work and book reading session (the latter part is ironical)?

Well, there we have it. If we made the pad with this technology, we could forget about Oil and Nuclear energy! All we'd have to do is build lots of Arcade and put only these dancing machines on them and let the kids loose on the thing, all day long, taking shifts or turns once they get too tired, and we'd have unlimited free energy!

Every parent could buy a personal unit and force his children to jump on it all day long, eliminating energy bills and even selling excess energy back to the company.

Thank you Japan, I thought your dancing machines were annoying at times, but now I have seen the light! The light! *drum roll*, you know, electricity, light, light bulbs, even the machines have plenty of light and stuff, ah nevermind.
