Problem engineers?

Who else thought that was an Arduino?

Where are you attaching that shaft?! Poor cat!

Except that's the engine part of the generator, which is the part that spins the alternator, which is the part that generates electricity.

So you're just attaching a make spinny part to another make spinny part, which cancel each other out so the cat just remains stationary as long as the engine runs, creating zero electricity.

There’s a fatal flaw in the premise. It is impossible to fasten something to a cat.

This brings up some interesting moral questions

Neither is falling when connected to the generator. That's nature's cruel joke; the cat-bread dynamo is limitless energy but it can never be harnessed.

The Omelas generator

This joke is so old it owns a home.

Ba dum tss.

I'm concerned about how the generator is connected to that poor cat

nope. The cat would land on its feet, then instantly roll around to spread the butter on your carpet.

Cat-bread would keep rotating ~~and never falls~~ as it falls to the ground
