Somewhere out there a true Scotsman is rolling over in his grave like a turbine.
and with the manual transmission of a pickup truck, some u-joints and a drive shaft we can couple him to a generator!
The fact that we will be making money off him at little cost to us and zero compensation to him should start 8 of the nearest (buried) true Scotsmen also spinning. At that point we hook them all up and via RPM modulation we can play "When Irish Eyes are Smiling"! This will cause all the remaining true Scotsman (dead and possibly living) to also spin like turbines and energy will flow from Great Britain like water. I have to go write some IPO stuff and maybe make a kickstarter page for start up capital...
Thanks!

If you've got it, a horse brought it!
