Enigin - Generate the Energy that makes you feel better!

‘I can get a record player, and a generator. Generate the music that makes you feel better.’ -Generator Holloways

Are you musically inclined? Do you enjoy a good strum of the  guitar? A mighty rush on the piano? Or even a soft whistle on the flute?

Speaking as an avid pianist, I can say without a shadow of a   doubt that music is a fantastic way of expending mental, emotional and physical energy. They even say music is a vital  key in motivating one to lose weight and improve fitness. Granted they may be referring to the act of listening    and dancing to music. But surely playing music would add a measure of encouragement too…?

After going to a recent concert, I found myself pondering over what might be a revolutionary idea. The lead guitarist had so much passion in what he was playing, he was all over the stage. Jumping up and down, running from one end to the other. Although clearly satisfied with the performance, he was evidently exhausted by the end of it. The amount of energy he secreted after that one show must have amounted to something. After all, if approximately 28,500 footsteps can generate energy to power a train for one second [source: Christian Science Monitor], how easy could it be for one energetic musician to power the kettle for 30 seconds?

Ergo, my theory is this. If one could harness the energy accumulated after an energetic musical session, and somehow channel that energy into small kitchen appliances like a kettle or a toaster, that could save on energy consumption, reduce the carbon footprint and you’d be doing something you actually enjoy. Not to mention that with every brew your musical skills would improve. Killing two birds with one stone! (as Ben Freeman would say)

Maybe not exactly an Einstein equation, but you never know…maybe someone will read this and develop a series of revolutionary energy saving products based on musical abilities. Maybe I should suggest it to the board of directors at Enigin?

I’ll let you know how it goes….
