Should we operate a power plant where cockroaches run on wheels connected to a generator to produce electricity?

The food to feed and human labor of handling isn't cost effective. There's also control voltage accross the entire network that needs to be maintained. Bugs running when they want to run is not reliable.

Here's a fun video about that

Who said anything about labor costs? What if this factory is self sustaining and full automated?

And we have batteries to store electricity.

[Stupidsigninpage]

And cockroaches are not picky eaters and can survive weeks without food.

[NaultD]

We're in fantasy land talks now. Someone has to put the bug on a wheel. The food has to come from someone. Plus the video explains how the greater power grids work and why machines are nessesary.

[Stupidsigninpage]

Your argument about labor costs can also apply to any other type of power plant.

Labor costs for nuclear power would be way more expensive than what I'm proposing

Feed the cockroaches algae

[jshm2]

How about just adding a dynamo to that slack jaw of yours? Must as well get some benefit from you moving your mouth.

[Stupidsigninpage]

How am I moving my mouth by typing? You liberals never cease to amaze me with your stupidity.

[Ryfyle]

You are better off burning the bugs as fuel.

[Stupidsigninpage]

Why not both? Wait until the bugs are maxed out before burning them.

[Ryfyle]

Because you wouldn't have enough fuel left.

[Stupidsigninpage]

What do you mean? You breed the roaches

[Ryfyle]

Life in itself is a machine, Cells require energy to do work. If a bunch of bugs run through their supply of carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins that hard, you don't have much fuel to use, its already CO2.

[Stupidsigninpage]

What are you talking about? I'm using work from cockroaches to produce energy. Make them eat algae. Cockroaches are not picky eaters. Put shock collars around them and zap them to make them run.

[Ryfyle]

So you are going to use far more energy then you will gain to get a soon to be dead bug to move. Have you ever graduated high school?

[Stupidsigninpage]

And if you're so worried about co2 escaping into the atmosphere, seal the cockroaches and store their gases in a chamber.

[Stupidsigninpage]

Algae requires co2 and sunlight to reproduce. That's an endless supply of food for the cockroaches. What I'm proposing is carbon neutral.

[Stupidsigninpage]

You know cockroaches can survive weeks without food. Have you ever graduated high school?

[Ryfyle]

Weeks without constant exertion, you fucking retard. Get back to huffing paint on your retarded hypothetical.

[Stupidsigninpage]

'Weeks without exertion?'

Did I say that cockroaches would do nothing all day?

The only retard is you because you still don't understand what I am proposing.

Breed cockroaches and feed them with algae, which can be endlessly produced.

Make them run on wheels connected to a generator.

They generate electricity.

When they die of old age, you burn the cockroaches.

Store their co2 into a chamber to feed the algae.

So you are getting additional energy on top of the energy they consumed via the algae.

[Stupidsigninpage]

And why call me a retard? You jealous of my idea, normie?

[Ryfyle]

No because its fucking retarded.

[Stupidsigninpage]

How is it retarded?

[Stupidsigninpage]

Look up the stats on this. Little tiny rotating bottle cap wheels connected to a giant generator can power hundreds or houses.

Wind power doesn't work all the time because the wind is not always available.

This idea is more efficient than wind energy for that reason.

beacuse there is a better fucking idea than putting bugs on a hamster wheel.

[Stupidsigninpage]

It's. Not its. The irony of you calling me retarded.

[Ryfyle]

How much weed do you consume in an hour?

[Stupidsigninpage]

I don't use weed. But I do take shrooms from time to time.

[Stupidsigninpage]

So why not produce electricity from both their neurochemistry and kinetic output?

[Ryfyle]

So you are high as fuck right now?
