Post (GRD) great republican depression era people will not stay up at night. They will obay natures sun rise, sun set model, and have little use for huge whalloping power lines bristling with A.C.

Piezo-electrics will serve mankind, but in a much different way in the new America and no easy source of power will go unexploited!

This is essentially asking people to generate the power themselves to run the machines (ticket gates ) that they will be using. Why not take it a step further? Early telephones had a crank generator in them that you had to actually crank to use the phone. I guess we're too spoiled to do that today. They have to trick us into generating the power by the walking that we would do anyway. Why not put a crank generator on the ticket gates and require a few seconds cranking from each customer? Interesting. This is essentially asking people to generate the power themselves to run the machines (ticket gates ) that they will be using.

One would think the options are virtually unlimited, especially within many facets of the building industry. Amazing to realize that most anywhere there is stress or vibration we can generate power.
