I am going to apply for a patent for my idea of "Barbie Dolls skating  
on a treadmill"
The dolls will have powered roller skates that power them up an  
inclined treadmill
which will turn as they climb the incline.  The treadmill will turn a  
generator that will
provide power for the skates plus have enough left over for a "Barbie  
hairdryer" or
similar.  By making a wider treadmill and putting 3 Barbies abreast  
( ??? ) , the
device will increase it's output by a factor of nine.  I am not sure  
why.
I will be posting pictures and hopefully video along with some "  
before and after "
DMMs showing the extra voltage.  Is this legal ?

The guy has applied for four perpetual motion patents, hydro, solar  
and two
air, all abandoned.

My favorite is the "Self powered solar generator";

"This device is designed to create brightness (wattage) in the most
efficient manner using electric light. This light is then converted into
electricity by the most efficient photovoltaic solar panels and or solar
cells available. The theory is you can generate more electric power than
what it takes to power the device."

The diagrams are priceless :-)
