In case you hadn’t heard, a company is claiming they have discovered “a technology that produces free, clean and constant energy“. The only thing that’s standing in their way is the laws of physics. Once that little hurdle has been overcome, we’ll end our dependency on oil, the world will be at peace, and all that crap. Hey, at least they’ve got a good marketing department.

When it comes to free energy, I prefer Rube Goldberg’s method (apologizes for the low-quality image) :

Driver opens trapdoor (A) - Monkey (B) reaches for banana (C), upsetting basket of cotton (D) - Ducks (E), mistaking cotton for snow, think winter has arrived and fly south, pulling car forward.

P.S. These are vitamin-fed superducks.

We could use a few more superducks these days.
