Nothing here but that image on the left. Years ago I got the idiotic idea that the nighttime-to-day temperature change could generate energy. So I made this thing that converts the expansion of a plastic jug (with a bit of gasoline in it) into rotation of a flywheel. I posted a question on a website, like Ask-a-Physicist or something, about how much energy the world might have from this. I was laughed off the stage... my post was deleted as frivolous actually. Then a couple of years later, these guys at MIT had the same idea and maybe it wasn't so dumb after all.
