Hoby Discussion Board: What is your Dream?: Using elephants for electricity

By Anonymous on Friday, January 17, 2003 - 04:36 pm

I've read that elephants in Laos and Thailand are having a difficult time fitting into modern society, mostly because it cost so much to feed them.

I was wondering if elephants could be used to generate electricity. If you build a generator that took advantage of the elephants weight and/or strengh to drive it, you should be able to generate a significant amount of power.

Any one have any thoughts on how practical this idea is?
