OLPC experiments with cow-powered laptops (seriously)
,----[ Quote ]
| The One Laptop Per Child Project (OLPC) is toying with a novel source of
| power for its low-cost XO laptops: cows.
|
| "We plan to drive a dynamo (taken from an old Fiat) through a system of belts
| and pulleys using cows/cattle," wrote OLPC's Arjun Sarwal, in an e-mail dated
| Oct. 21 and posted to one of the group's discussion lists.
