Apparently the great lakes have no such thing as wind :lol:


Fun to look at

Shouldn't be moved if he was implying the reminder that wind energy is a viable/renewable source of energy. There's also tide/current energy, harnessing casual kinetic energy (like a spring board hooked to a generator @ a night club), and, honestly, we can burn people. There are over 7 billion of those things; at least we should use the energy from people who are cremated.

So were gunna start burning people for energy now.

er... should be moved to general maybe?
I don't see a science section around here, do you?

Only place i really seemed it'd work.

Stirling engines are weak. You are saving a tiny amount of energy for a tiny amount of heat removal. An electric fan removes a lot more heat than it generates.

Yeah, but the more important consideration is how much power it takes to run an electric fan on something low powered (like maybe a laptop), a solution that would remove heat with a comparable efficacy without using battery power could be really useful.

You really think you're going to fit something like that in a laptop? Even if you could miniaturize it to that point it would be absolutely useless.
