The government shoots down anyone who does this
Epilepsy warning.
Stop giving epilepsy spoilers!
This joke is so old it owns a home.
Ba dum tss.
so its like on its late 50s?
Neither is falling when connected to the generator. That's nature's cruel joke; the cat-bread dynamo is limitless energy but it can never be harnessed.
It could perhaps turns a fan due to the air current it generates by spinning?
There’s a fatal flaw in the premise. It is impossible to fasten something to a cat.
Even if it were, attaching it to the generator prevents the cat-bread from falling, thus canceling the motion.
nope. The cat would land on its feet, then instantly roll around to spread the butter on your carpet.
In that case you can use it as a spreader. Great success
I'm concerned about how the generator is connected to that poor cat
My first thought as well. No straps, just straight into the cat's arse.
Where are you attaching that shaft?! Poor cat!
Problem engineers?
Who else thought that was an Arduino?
Except that's the engine part of the generator, which is the part that spins the alternator, which is the part that generates electricity.
So you're just attaching a make spinny part to another make spinny part, which cancel each other out so the cat just remains stationary as long as the engine runs, creating zero electricity.
Cat-bread would keep rotating ~~and never falls~~ as it falls to the ground
The Omelas generator
This brings up some interesting moral questions
