Title: Cricket Piezo Electric Generator
Post by: sparks on December 09, 2008, 06:53:33 PM
    Gather up a couple of crickets and give em whatever they need to populate a couple of thousand square feet.  Feed em some waste laced with cricket aphrodisiacs so they really start chirpping.  Putt a lattice of piezo electric transducers (chip grown should be cheap) at the end of a resonant cavity that focuses the energy at their emission frequency.  Run away fast before they make you deaf.   Stop laughing now.  The pyramids have these granite stones that form this giant resonator.  On the top floor they found dead bug bodies.  From the kings chamber is this resonant cavity and down at the end of that is a channel down to a tunnel with electrodes coming from the end.  Maybe they were using cricket sound energy to cause ionization in a liquid to form a battery. :D

Cross breed your piezo bugs with a pistol shrimp, and you'll probably get a wee beasty that shoots flames out its arse

Sound into power, through resonance in a liquid .
I like that !

Yeah, cept the sound was surely that of thousands of beaten slaves.  The liquid, their own blood, sweat, and tears.


No Cornerstone for you!

   Dragon pistol shrimps wouldnt be much different than a Tesla Mortar. :)
The land dragons were thought to  store up methane gas in pouches and when threatened would release the methane gas and ignite it with a special set of teeth that were capable of ignition temperatures when clicked together.  Flamethrowing cows. ;)
