Typical force on an old-style (heavy) keyboard =
0.5N, travel = 5mm. Assume that "a little harder
to depress" means doubling both force and
distance, 1N x 10mm. Assume 100% energy
recovery = 0.01J. |
|
|
Assume 5 characters per second = 0.05J/s = 50mW
of harvestable energy per atheist. |

// every time they are depressed |
|
|
How can you tell if they are depressed? |
|
|
Usually if they are writing a lot about atheism. |

Not bad for running the keyboard itself ! My wireless keyboard is ready to attach the depression/voltage converter. Now I need to improve my atheism. |

It also seems that by simply semantically tagging
various arguments on the internet, these
repeated
arguments could be automated. That's a lot of
monitors which would not need to be on,
easily offsetting any additional processing power
consumed in the argument automation. |

//Surely the faithful have more fervour ?// |
|
|
I think we have proven as much. |

the zealot seems to have detected our scheme. the ideas are getting shorter and shorter. we. are. running.. low. on.... power. |
|
|
Can't help wondering at "zealot" and "ocelot". There's must be some connection... |
|
|
Actually, "ocelot" comes from the Nahuatl word
"ocelotl", reflecting its shared ancestry with the
axolotl. |
