Experimental Methods: Step One - Energy Conversion

Because who needs boring, boring efficiency when converting energy? Not us! In this series, we're going to try and convert energy in the most convoluted, absurd ways possible. Today, we're starting with...

Step One: Using a Giant Rubber Chicken as a Heat Engine

We'll begin by placing a giant rubber chicken on a spinning wheel, then we'll attach a tiny motor to the chicken's beak. This will create a makeshift heat engine that converts kinetic energy into...

...a really good excuse for not doing any actual science.

Step Two: Harnessing the Power of Farting Cows

Step Three: Using a Giant Pinwheel of Doom to Generate Electricity
