Mandarine on Monday

September 10th, 2007

Over at Aerophant, Tai has established a very sound rule: a picture of Puck every friday. As a regular copycat, I am going to follow the same weekly rule, and start a regular feature entitled Mandarine on Monday. Here comes the first installment.

Cats have built-in solar cells

Call for volunteers: there are five other days of the week left for other cat bloggers.

    M: What an ideal image for Mandarine’s Monday maiden voyage. Looking forward to subsequent installments.

    Have you found a way to capture and transfer the heat buildup from the feline solar cell?

  2. mandarine Says:

    Yes I have. All I have to do is sit down, call ‘viens mandarine’, and the heat buildup transfers to my lap via a 15′ charge cycle before I am too hot or the cat is discharged and jumps away. The only drawbacks of the system are the very loud low frequency noise (sounds like a 12V-50Hz voltage transformer) and the static electricity.

    Clever! I will have to try this method with Puck. With enough photovoltaicats in operation, we may be able to produce enough direct current to power a can opener.

    One of these days, I will have a cat and will learn the ins and outs of digital photography and will choose a day.

    Welcome to the club. You can book your day right now if you want.

    I have no cat but I totally relate… as I am a kind of lazy red-hair girl myself. I’m looking forward to my next nap in the sun (this weekend if the weather allows)!
