What's the environmental impact of people moving their permanent
magnet bearing PC's through the Earth's magnetic field? Couldn't
the electricity generated attract lightning or post a shock hazard?
Could this power be harnessed to power a laptop similar to "self-winding"
watches?
I guess non-green PC's haven't been a problem since the electromagnet is
de-energized while people move their PCs.
