I remember being a little like this when I was younger. I remember having wacky ideas for inventions and drawing diagrams of them, but never making them as I've never really been much of the practical type:-p ! I remember talking to ppl who were more knowledgeable than me who ridiculed my ideas saying they were impractical and impossible. Even though I did realize as I got older, the failings in my ideas, I think it was a great learning experience that spurred my interest in how the world works. In this sense I sincerely agree with mooeypoo, and you should research these various ideas critical to engineering and physics like thermodynamics, entropy etc.

 

In fact, I think I'll give you some of the ideas I had. I once thought you could place small wind turbines on the side of a motorway(highway) to generate power from the gusts of air created by the cars passing by. I also had an idea whereby you could place a turbine on top of a car(hence the word wacky) to regenerate power when braking. I suppose a practical modification of this idea is already used in the brakes of some hybrid vehicles in order to slow the car and generate electricity.

Well you could it would just cost lots and not generate much power. Your idea is a bit silly, but their idea is based on utter bollocks; big difference.

nwaogu, you have to stop posting your posts a re ridiculous, and meainingless.

I wonder if they ever added "more woods and metals" and got it working...

Can you add a SFN User Award "Wall Of Shame"? I'd like to nominate the OP....
