    I suppose we could wire up their corpses to a turbine for free energy, since they’ll be spinning in their graves at around 15000 rpm.

      That’s way too fast, you need a speed of 3600 RPM to generate at 60Hz (3000 RPM for 50Hz).

        Well depending on the torque we could use some transmission or produce at a bit above 400Hz and use large frequency changers.

        Woah we went some torque too, ≈15k happens to be a nice multiple of 3 so just gear reduce it down to 3k.

      I haven’t been feeling my best last two days, but this actually gave me enough energy to laugh aloud. Thanks!
