1 year agoThat’s a pretty interesting idea. Using a fluid much denser than water to turn turbines. My main concern would be what their “patented fluid” is and how much damage would be done if it leaks. EDIT: Had a look at their site and the “high tech” fluid is made of commonly available materials and is non-toxic, non-reactive and environmentally benign. Flour and water? Slime?
I was a little worried this would be “Commuting is bad for your mental health…so just live at work!”. I may be getting a little cynical in my old age.
