so /sci/, if I gave you a device that converts thermal energy to mechanical energy with 100% efficiency, albeit at a near-infinitesimally slow rate, what would you do with it?
>>9003139
I'd use it as insulation.
>>9003147
how will you deal with the mechanical output?
>>9003152
I wouldn't need to really. It is a near-infinitesimally slow rate. A gap a micron wide would be more than enough room for probably a million years or so of use.
I'd probably convert my dick heat into some massive sex machine
>>9003168
but it would be infinitesimally slow
>>9003139
I would donate it to the Museum of Hoaxes.
>>9003139
I'd make it go faster.
>>9003182
ill finally last >30 seconds then

By iterating on the design.
>>9003215
By iterating on the design hahaahah, is that supposed to be a serious answer? Do you feel smart or something? Are you twirling a pen, imagining how simple it would be for you to improve this machine?

Gears. Just put it on the slow end,

You ask a dumb question.
You get a dumb answer.
>>9003139
You are under arrest for violation of the second law of thermodynamics.
No idea what I would do with it so I'd probably sell it to someone who does.
