Subject: [alt-beam] Re: absorbpsion circuit or something
I've had an idea cooking in my little bit of brain for about 10 years or
so...Walkers that live in the area between the false ceiling of office
buildings and the true ceiling. I have a voltage detector that indicates
presence of 50V about 8 to 10 inches from the ends of flourescant tubes
(lamps). I figured that there was some way to use that energy to trickle
charge the 'bots during the day so that they could perform security and
surveillance during the night (when the lights are off). Parasitic feeding
in an abstract sense.
