You made one critical error in this perpetual energy machine plan: linux users don’t go outside.
I do, because I also avoid using Amazon as much as possible
It sucks
Amazon or going outside?
Yes.
(oh I don’t think he heard…) Amazon or going outside?
I go outside mostly to acquire necessities. Like the other chap I refuse to use Amazon. Plus I live in an area where most essential shops are within walking distance.
Not actually true outside of those who have poor lifestyles

Well you can’t control life sometimes
Hello! Here is your random engineer: You have to connect both trap doors to the same side of the turbine. Otherwise your generator has a great chance to get blocked by users.
Otherwise the concept looks good. If we find a way to get the Linux guys out and make them able to walk a slight incline without collapsing this should work.
Tbh any turbine likely has the potential to be blocked, if two come along at once, making one become trapped between the turbine blade and the wall.
For maximal efficiency, I would suggest a spring-loaded ring of rollers inside a solid metal ring, conforming to the shape of passing Linux users. The dynamos would need to be calibrated such that the stiction of passing users is enough to slow their fall to match the current flow rate of entering users (n.b. is this doable? If not may need to use the spring pressure for this) to ensure maximal energy extraction for available user flow.
To address the blocking issue, i propose a vibrating (and cushioned) funnel to make sure that the linux users get to the turbine in single file. this keeps the system simpler and helps the linux users pass more easily, because it adheres to the UNIX philosophy of doing just one thing, which works as a lubricant.
I’m fairly sure there’s a queuing module implemented by
sys.hthat could help with that.Do you see that hill? Wouldn’t you like to… see what’s behind it?
Would I !
I think the biggest flaw is the name.
energy would be used by the Linux guys. That energy is probably equal or less than what the turbine produces. That makes it not a perpetual motion machine. It is free energy for the owner though as long as the speakers don’t consume too much energy as the Linux guys will come and for free to no cost of the owner
this is so silly. you need to connect the speaker to the turbine for it to be perpetual. otherwise it’s sokar powered duh
sokar powered
He presides over the literal planet hell, lots of geothermal potential!
😅 it’s a good typo. it stays.
Or, or, hear me out, Sokka powered:
Linux has you covered. Just call
insmod -v pwr_perpertuum_mobile.o
The -v is short for --violate and allows you to violate the laws of thermodynamics.
Finally an energy source that isn’t just steam
“are we a joke to you?”
Steam but colder.
Ah yes a cold steam plant.
Steam with extra steps
Damn, that’s a beautiful dam.
My state’s pride and joy, Itaipú. Provides the entire southern region of Brazil (as well as the entire country of Paraguay) with green electricity.
But steam does work on Linux!!!
Steam? Absolutely proprietary!
A single Arch user can generate enough energy to power a family home for a day. Just tell them the latest update to grdfrgl-upflmupfl-lib.tar.gz just dropped and they have to register on the hill to download it.
Real arch users are not compable of climbing small inclines
A real Arch user would never register for something like that
A real Arch user would make a trapdoor of their own, with blackjack, and very plain but efficient hookers.
This is huge brain stuff, honestly.
Here’s my idea a keyboard that generate electricity every press. Distribute it to everyone we have ourselves free electricity.
Piezo master race checking in
Dude, that’s genius! What if we also attached a thousand motors that spin on each key you press and press a thousand other keys in turn?
This is great, but I’ve increased output by replacing the windows user with a tech-illiterate person showing a screenshot of Ubuntu saying “I’m so glad my grandson switched me to Linux”.

I love it. I’d get lots of exercise, enjoy a cool underground slide and fix the world. To make it really high output, you should ad a very large trap intake for the window users that will inevitably climb up to complain they can’t game on Linux. Now you are going to need lot of bait sentences that will trigger a Linux enthousiast. Here are some. ; > I wish I could apply all updates at a convenient time> or > I have these MRI image I want to look at> who has more?
“Ugh my old laptop runs so slow now. I’m gonna have to buy one, won’t I?”
“Seriously? I can’t uninstall candy fucking crush now?”
“Man, why do they always make it so hard to change the most basic of settings?”
XXX is best distro
All hail the GIMP bell pepper
What’s the connection? I thought Wilber was the logo?
I half expected to see Sadam Hussain hiding somewhere in there.
This isn’t perpetual it’s just an extremely efficient system.
Eventually the pit will fill up
Right. The energy of the growing numbers of Linux Evangelists could save the planet!
