Gigantic drinking birds

[Humbugger]

25 watts sound okay,if you play around with it, and add more generators you can get to 50 watts, just like adding multiple batterys in series,

you could make a 25 watt allways on light bulb,i would think that to be cool,you could tell scientists who think free energy is aload of bull , it, heh.

well,if you come up with something quite impressive with drinking birds i would be interested in buying it.

You could crank up the output to 100watts,see how much that would be with a bit of profit etc,

to me 100-200watts sound minimal enough for me, 25 watts for a always on lightblub,

even though i would be interested in buying a 25 watt fe drinking bird machine.

heh keep going.

If we consider that an average man in good health, pedalling hard on a stationary bicycle equipped with a generator for half an hour produces an average power of 150W and ends up pretty well totally exhausted, I think our friend mister bird is going to have to be about 373 feet tall and weigh 952 kilograms to do a steady 25W.  Just a wild guess.

see my previous reply.

because the atmosphere  becomes saturated with water vapor and the bird stops. we want the vapor to stay away from the bird's bottom so it stays dry so rising the ceiling creates distance and vapor stays away from the bottom.

Okay...that seems like it makes reasonable sense...I guess.  I think if a kit were to be marketed though, most folks would want it outdoors as a kind of lawn curiosity.  Who knows?  People do love curiosities and things that demonstrate non-intuitive principals.

yeah it can be outside or anywhere really.
the cover that seals the whole bird can be transparent so you can see everything never having to add liquid.






edit - the height of the ceiling will depend on how much liquid you are using i guess, the more the liquid the higher the ceiling.
guess it also depends on the weather.

Have a look at this ferris wheel.
Maybe it is better to built it like this
or combine it with a Wally Minto wheel:



Then you have a real rotation instead of a rocking for- and backwards.

Here are some great links:

There it seems that Diethylether would be the best, but today is
mostly used the less dangerous Methylenchlorid.
