Masturbatory Electricity Production   (+1, -10)  [vote for, against]
Use the up and down motion to produce electricity

Since about 95% of males do "it" and there is an energy shortage, I suggest a device that would be attached to a male's "member" during masturbation. A latex membrane would be embedded with a wire coil and slipped over the penis. A permanent magnet would be placed over the membrane and used for the stroking motion. The electrical energy generated could be put back on the "grid".

The question is not so much whether or not this could be made to work, but whether you're the first one to think of this. Did you google to see if you're the first to document this? I'm betting not.

Considering the workings of the electric motor, it should be possible to recharge a vibrator (at least one containing the appropiate type of batteries) by shaking it for a while.

If I had a volt for every time I ... I .. could have been making volts all this time.

I think this would require some sort of Zener Diode circuit here; to ensure a constant voltage output; otherwise when you speed up at the end you'd get "Vinegar Stroke Voltage Spikes" in your supply.

Oh come now, the idea's a bit stiff but it probably pops the lid off others.

...so a thousand 15-year-olds, seated at a thousand keyboards for a thousand websites...
Yup, that get my bun.

Some might be worried about a short circuit.

//so a thousand 15-year-olds...//

I just had a vision of a matrix style set up of this with row after row of 15 year olds going at it, all pasty white from lack of sun, hunched over, their spines making prominent ridges along their backs, with plugs hooked everywhere all leading to a giant cell.

Thanks alot, [m_Al_com]. I haven't even had my morning chai yet.

Sorry guys I did'nt look "hard" enough before posting the idea.

And slightly geeky teenagers everywhere would reverse the polarity, hook up to mains power and either rip their members out by the roots or burnish the flesh off their pelvic girdles (depending on gender).

yeah but who would expect that someone else would have also come up with this idea :)
