    Bah! You whipper snappers and your 'new' powerless remotes. The Very first remote control was powerless. The button ringed a chime in the remote and the TV changed channel when it herd certain tones. Now get off my lawn!

    I also have a magic device that uses no batteries, yet continues to function as a mechanical marvel. It doesn't generate electricity, but the basic idea remains the same:

    Maybe they could create a remote where the mechanical pressure on a button generates energy which is turned into ultrasound and triggers the TV.

    ;)

    In reply to Allergy Warning: The ITER Fusion Facility Contains Coconuts
    Oh, cool stuff. That makes perfect sense, too. Coconut shells are remarkably clean materials. Almost zero ash content. That means cleaner, more effective carbon/charcoal for adsorption/filtration.

    I never thought I'd say this, but coconuts just got way cooler in my mind. #thermonuclearfusion

    Seems practical. To achieve efficient energy production we need to destroy all of the coconut trees on the planet. Like Easter island did with their trees to move the monoliths. #thermonuclearfusion
