Have you ever peed on the floor and said “I wish I could save the world?” How about “I wish this would clean itself up all by itself?”Well, now both are possible, with the Peelectric Bath Mat. It works likes this: A highly conductive film lines the bathroom floor around the toilet. Renegade urine collects on the film and its electrostatic potential is converted to energy. How? (Wow, I just proposed a clean source of energy and you no longer have to clean the bathroom floor and you ask me how?) The triboelectric effect is a type of contact electrification in which certain materials become electrically charged when coming into contact with another. Happy? It’s all summed up in the simple formula, P=mc².Once you have the electricity you can fold the energy back into your own home’s power grid. Alternately, set the Peelectric on “penalty mode” if you’re tired of people peeing on the floor. In penalty mode, the film is electrified to send a small reminder shock to Mr. Leaky.It’s Peelectric! Boogie Woogie Woogie!

I seem to get a slight thrill of letting the gas gauge go down to “E” but if I had my way I would carry extra fuel in my car in a heartbeat ( and when I mean “my way”, I mean no danger of combusting into a extra large fireball, passing out from gas fumes wafting up from cheap plastic containers and using up all my trunk space with gallons upon gallons of liquid.) So veggie fuel almost makes this dream come true but what I really want is concentrated fuel cubes (kinda like Jell-O shots for your car.) Small, potent and fast acting.
