People send me stuff. I get about 1000 emails a day now, between all my different accounts. A lot of it is spam. Today I got an email from “Tesla Generator” advertising the usual “free energy” scam, and I figured I’d see something like this collection of Telsa Coils, Van de Graff generators, and Wimshurst static machines:
Boy was I surprised when I opened the email.
This isn’t even passable spam, as you expect some relevancy to the subject matter advertised. It’s like sending a picture of a Buick with a cake recipe. I thought you might get a chuckle out of it since it was so strange. I don’t think I’ve ever gotten anything so odd in email.

Would it count as free energy if someone else made the meal for you?
Who says free energy can’t be delicious?
I hate to disagree with you but I think it just passed. 😉
Spam? Spam eggs bacon and spam. Spam sausage and spam. Spam sausage and strawberries and spam?
We ordered a super-conducting, cold fusion, anti-gravity belt from Mr. Neutron some time ago, and received only a clothespin and two yards of twine. Does Mr. Neutron eat strawberries?
After the reaming the Supreme Court gave us this last week and the continued obstinence of the greenies this is funny.
Isn’t that just what you’d expect from fruitcake?
If you pick the fruit from others’ gardens, you do indeed get “free” food energy. Perhaps the “Tesla Generator” is a foolproof way to steal food?
Damn, I even visited their site and get no clue. I surely could use free (first and/or second law violating) power…

If some kind person serves it to me, I suppose it is free energy.
This is one of Andy’s images. One of his galleries is devoted to food. He does good work too. Andy is one of my indirect competitors on the non science, artistic photography side of life. (we do not photograph the same things) It looks like someone is having fun and taking physics with the seriousness a life of inquiry and discovery deserves.
Well, strictly on a field-strength basis (volts/meter) there’s a WHOLE LOT more electricity in a strawberry vine, or any old plant, than in a Van de Graaff generator. If you could hook the membrane potentials of all the cells in the proper series/parallel arrangement, you’d have a fine wet cell.
Food for thought !
LOL.
Looks like a take on the lemon battery trick. Instead of Lemons use Strawberries.
How to turn your dessert into free energy. The secrets finally out 🙂
You can have your cake and eat it, too?
You need an Orgone Generator or even better an Orgone Accumulator!

Now breath in the sound
Of course, by opening it and allowing the linked photo (I presume it was linked…) to be shown, you have just confirmed to whatever bot it is that 1.) you have a valid email address, and 2.) that you are the sort of person who opens spam emails!
Like feeding strawberries to a jackass. They just don’t appreciate it 🙂
Well, Mugi’s Cake is full of power.

That looks like it’d make me produce copious amounts of methane, which could be used to generate usable energy. But as is the normal case for “renewables”, collecting the “free energy” is a pain in the butt.
It was probably an attempt to evade or poison the spam filters by including an off topic and seemingly legitimate image.

Depends on the jackass.
For example, if the strawberry is a grant, and the recipient is a Climate Scientist….
Oh, I had better not go there….
Somebody took psych 101. The food pictures create a “good feeling”. This “good feeling” becomes associated with their crazy product. This is why lobbyists always feed congressmen lunch while they plug their agenda.

Alright, Andy Ryan’s got his 15 minutes. Check him off the list. How many to go?
I’ll bet that’s “leaked from the government’s top secret folders.”
When we get our 20% renewables by 2020, that is the cake they are going to let us eat.
