Thanks to Beene and Grimer for the inspiration.
Imagine a gyroscope with zero bearing friction and windage. It is
anchored at the base axle. The top axle is attached to a point on the
edge of a wheel. The wheel will rotate slowly due to the precession of
the gyroscope. If the wheel turns another axle which turns a
generator, you have just made a device which converts gravity to
electricity.
N'est-ce pas?
