It needs to be on the hood or were it can be seen because its primary use is as an "interest generator" but this has me thinking that a heavy weight 1lb, sprung so it could bob up and down in a coil of wire with a magnet inside the coil on the bobber might make enough to run the meter .012 watts ////or magnets on the base and coil on the bobber with some led lights so as you go over bumps the leds light. with the right setup I'll but you could get some real power out of your magnetic(Faraday coil) shocks? and no wind resistance ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jessica & Donald Jansen & Crabtree" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, September 12, 2002 6:28 AM Subject: Re: amazing! hood ornament
