Here is a revolutionary new method for harnessing wind power:

Rube Goldberg was on this same laugh track, when he designed a device capable of harnessing politicians’ otherwise useless bloated airs.

If only the solution to Iraq and our energy problems were as simple as this new Rube Goldberg machine:

Lastly, we see that the official door-slammed-tight policy of the United States Patent office is that “you can’t get something for nothing.”
Interesting here too, how the American Petroleum Institution was bragging back in 1940 that our automobiles contain “ever increasing efficiency.”

Stop, look and listen closely at 4:33 when the narrator announces:

“No Mr. Goldberg, not even your genius is equal to that task. In fact, the United States patent office will no longer grant a patent for the design of a perpetual motion machine. Because the experts in that office know that, you can’t get something for nothing. That you can’t get power out of an engine without paying for it in fuel. Fortunately, for us however, man has discovered a virtually unlimited source of power. He has paid for it that power by years of painstaking research and experimentation. That source of power is gasoline.”

Then the hot-air blather continues in perpetuum unharnessed…
