    infinite power.

  • who else though of a dildo

  • Well, it's 3 years gone and I haven't seen anything about these yet

  • It's a gigantic dildo.

  • Well every idea we have came up with so far to make energy always has a negative effect, so don't go bashing just cause of a few flaws you find(everything has flaws). But it seems like with a little bit more tweaking it could be efficient and a good idea, prehaps even cost efficient...who knows.

    i didnt say the wind went down drastically. jjust not as strong as when windmill farms first began. i dont have a site. just word of mouth from a very reliable professor at my college

  • @thaBoooooogerMan Got a cite for that? All I know about wind power is that I've lived reasonably close to a large scale wind farm for about 20 years now... And it's still windy as F*** here.

  • this is worse than the windmill idea! its been prooven that where large scale windmill farms are, the force of the wind is slowly dying down... although its a very natural idea, its not long term. could happen to the waters as well.. i dont know full biology of water, but the same idea is there... if wind will slowly die down, wouldnt oceans currents slow down as well?

  • dildo
