Slide Power

After dinner I took the kids to the playground. While Olivia played in the sand, Evan was dutifully working on solving the world's energy problems.

Solar panels: who need 'em? Hydo power: no thanks. Hybrid cars: Damn Hippies! We don't need any of that as we have SLIDE POWER!




We have run into one problem. While Evan can generate enough voltage to stop your heart if you touch him before he gets off the slide, he is not the best battery. He's constantly discharging his energy into anything he touches. The other problem is the amount of time and energy you have to put into Evan. He takes 24 hours of supervision, fresh food and constant attention.
