Power can be drawn off this generator at multiple points. It is, however, a net user of energy and is of novelty value only.
<<cycle initiates>>
[dentworth] tosses a Living Hat into the air, which prompts [Guncrazy] to blast away at it with his SKS assault rifle. Overshooting bullets pierce one
of the propulsive balloons on the Hullaballoon, causing pilot [bristolz] to jettison some ballast chillies. Raining jalapenos spotted by [Pericles] who runs forward to gather them, along a large rubber tube filled with custard…….
[Pericles]’ peristaltic pumping causes the yellow goo to flow along a hose, driving a small turbine which powers up a gang of Flocking Road Cones armed with Tazers. The cones push [stf3] along a see-saw, until it tips, pulling up a dividing wall which had been separating two cubicles containing [hazel] and [jonthegeologist]…..
Piezoelectric cells in their bedbase convert mechanical bonking energy into a current which powers up a small [thumbwax] TV Bible, tuned to Fox News, in a neighbouring cubicle occupied by [scout] and [bobad]…..
The right wing backslapping gets the boys excited and they leap up in a “Seig Heil” salute, breaking a photoelectric beam which unlocks [verdashi]’s keyboard…..
800 keystrkes into his idea, [verdashi] hits the period key for the first time, at which point [idischler], [worldengineer], [DrCurry] and [waugsqueke] let out a huge sigh of relief…
The wind from this trips a flap holding a Zorb ball containing [farmerjohn] and [jutta] which rolls downhill into [UnaBubba]’s Bakerworld….
[UnaBubba], pissed at the intrusion, fires his Condom Gun at the interlopers, which deflects the Zorb into a Bed of Nail Guns that trigger off, forming a shower of tinkling steel…..
An Acoustic Generator converts the sound of the falling nails into a small current which lights up a [2 fries shy of a happy meal] Pumpkameleon, waking up a nearby herd of Red Squirrels which get mad and drop their radishes into a bag held by [neilp] standing on a DeliWeigh….
The DeliWeigh rotating dial powers up [hippo]’s Cellphone Radio Telescope which, in reverse (transmission) mode, signals [DesertFox] in his Oblique Space Colony Near The Sun to tilt the giant structure slightly…..
blocking out just enough light from the Wallpaper Solar Panels powering the restraining bolts on [AfroAssault]’s cage to cause them to release…..
allowing him to ignite his stash of C4 in a giant cylinder which drives out a piston connected to a rubber Mickey Mouse hand which pokes [dentworth] causing her to toss a Living Hat in the air….

No CG, no cuts. 606 maddening takes. [jutta, Nov 26 2004]

Art film. Ancestor of "Cog". Lots and lots of cuts, long, still fun to watch. [jutta, Nov 26 2004]

I think C4 will ignite but wouldn't it work better if it were detonated? |
|
| |
Quite [bristolz], but we don't want to poke [dentworth] toooo hard....it's a very finely tuned engine. |
|
| |
Ah so. Ever seen that British Honda commercial? |
|
| |
Yeah, love it, but I can't get the real story on whether it was a single run through, or a series of actions filmed on a smaller stage and spliced, or a combination of real motion and CG? |
|
| |
made in two sections if memory serves me right |
|
| |
aww po you've spoiled it for me now. but its you so thats ok. |
|
| |
[looks at hat] You've blasted a hole the size of the Holland tunnel, how am I supposed to throw this up twice? |
|
| |
I'm counting on [Guncrazy]'s marksmanship not being all that flash. Otherwise, the generator will require a supply of Living Hats, as well as nails, condoms, C4 and custard. It may get too complicated to run... |

//[scout]…right wing backslapping//
Hmm, interesting! What you take to be right wing ranting, I take to be irony and sarcasm. Who is right, I wonder?
+ for entertainment value. - for cheap shot. Overall fishcake ;0) |
|
| |
I'll get on with the production right away! |
|
| |
agree [DrBob], don't think [scout] will approve his reference. |
|
| |
I never liked custard, but Jalapeños I love. [+] |
|
| |
...and if [johnthegeologist] uses some weird horizontal drill technique... |
