Finally, some way to a positive use for all those redtop newspapers.
Collect the papers, put between two boards, place in chamber with layer of water, the chamber has a flexible panel. As the water is sucked up by capillary action, it creates a vacuum, flexing the panel which is connected to a generator.
Repeat.

(A) I don't understand this and (B) you will need to replace or dry out the newspapers at each step. |
|

and ( C ) something something mumble mumble oh ... never mind. Duff ? |

//I don't understand this |

Hmmm. Ok...I might go for a re-write of this. just using gravity. Lots of newspaper aligned vertically in a container which can slide vertically on two or more poles*, with the bottom of the newspapers dipped into water. |
|
| |
The water will sneak up the paper due to capillary action and so the container gets heavier, and exerts more force downwards on [a machine that makes electricity, of your choice]. |
|
| |
Last stage of the process is sling away the soggy newspapers, and start again. |

//Duff.
Meaning - no good, doesn't work, etc. Not to be confused with 'up the duff', or Duff Cooper, or Hilary Duff. |

This is about reusing, recycling and global warming. Right?
What does redtop mean. |

Ah, but there is a better way. Give the soggy newspapers to the homeless to sleep under - their body heat will dry them out, and they can then be reclaimed and reused. |

[pashute] a "redtop" is a tabloid newspaper of the lower classes, so called because the Sun (one such paper, in the UK) has its title printed in red. |

On cold nights, this will rapidly induce potentially fatal hypothermia. |

Utter brilliance - dry newspaper for re-use, and the deceased homeless can be quietly reprocessed into soap, lampshades, bonemeal and petfood*. [++++] doubleplusgood ! |
