Idea for a new engine type

Hello I have came up with an idea for a new engine type which I believe will be a great synergy of the singulo and the SM

Whats the two things that is everybodies favourite that the above have? It is super fun to throw things into it. I propose an engine that actively promotes throwing objects into it as an energy source. the better resources that you throw the better the engine runs and generates power and this promotes constant maintenance of the engine from the crew throughout the shift instead of the once and done of the two above engies. Thanks

There should be an idea-fuelled engine where you write down an idea and throw it in and it produces power. This combustion-type engine you're suggesting would work perfectly. People's ideas usually don't produce anything but with this they would consistently produce power for the station. The longer the idea, the more power it could produce.

Moment of silence for the paperwork engine, the greatest engine that /tg/station has ever known.

Mmm yes people sized hamster wheels to power the station.

This kind of power generation would husk you just by looking at it

I re-read that and I actually don't have any problems with it which almost never happens to me

have an engine where you put down a nylon carpet in a room and then set a dog loose in there so the dog runs around and generates static electricity

the terriersla engine
