      check it out... you may have to depend on 400 other people to be waiting on the train too, or else you may not be leaving the station...

      what software do you think they used?

      more...

        A little OT, but you reminded me of an idea I thunk up over 20 years ago-- (I'm one of those people who are always coming up with ideas that entertain or frighten)... I was thinking why not embed plates in a roadway where there is a lot of heavy truck traffic? I was a sonar guy in the navy, so I was aware of piezoelectric theory.
        No one ever took me serious, but I never heard a reason why those trucks couldn't generate a lot of power.

        Software for the crowd farm.. uhhh-- Maya?

        help me!!! I have more ideas.. how about plug in a bunch of kids to tramplolines? 😲

          .. or connecting all the exercise bikes in gyms to the national grid - burn off calories and power the lights at the same time.

            I believe that this is based on a bridge that was made in England, and it generates enough power to run the lights on part of the road, makes a ton of sense to me!
