Who else thought that was an Arduino?

Where are you attaching that shaft?! Poor cat!

CoolMatt ,

Except that's the engine part of the generator, which is the part that spins the alternator, which is the part that generates electricity.

So you're just attaching a make spinny part to another make spinny part, which cancel each other out so the cat just remains stationary as long as the engine runs, creating zero electricity.

There’s a fatal flaw in the premise. It is impossible to fasten something to a cat.

Even if it were, attaching it to the generator prevents the cat-bread from falling, thus canceling the motion.

This brings up some interesting moral questions

Neither is falling when connected to the generator. That's nature's cruel joke; the cat-bread dynamo is limitless energy but it can never be harnessed.

It could perhaps turns a fan due to the air current it generates by spinning?

so its like on its late 50s?

I'm concerned about how the generator is connected to that poor cat

My first thought as well. No straps, just straight into the cat's arse.

KISSmyOSFeddit ,

nope. The cat would land on its feet, then instantly roll around to spread the butter on your carpet.

cmgvd3lw ,

In that case you can use it as a spreader. Great success

Cat-bread would keep rotating and never falls as it falls to the ground
