Can the excess energy of my shaking Chihuahua be used as an alternate energy source?

How would you harness chihuahua energy?
How many chihuahuas would it take to light a lightbulb?
Would this make chihuahuas the most sustainable breed?

A germane albeit not specifically related answer would cover the buttered-toast cat engine (also known as Murphy's law application for antigravitatory cats)

The attached picture pretty much covers the gist but it all started with the question: So, what would happen if we stick a slice of toast with butter to a
cat's back and we throw it to the air?

The cat, by law, will land on its
feet, but the toast, (by law too) will land on the butter's side.

Against this problem of physics laws, the nature chooses the best way of taking a solution: the cat may just not
fall.

The cat with the toast, once it's free in the air, will float at its
cat-toast equilibrium point, where butter repulsion forces and cat forces are in balance. This point
can be adjusted by removing some butter from the toast, adding it, or
cutting some hairs (or legs) from the cat. In theory, this will cause
the cat to remain stationary, however, in reality, due to varied nature
of gravity and the non-uniform profile of Earth, the cat will simply
spin around its center of gravity at ever-increasing speed.

Surely we have some science whiz who could connected the buttered cat anti-grav device with the skaking chihuahua as a propulsion system??

I reckon if you connect the Chihuahua to a small alternator it would then be able to charge a battery and provide energy that way.

It would only take 3 Chihuahuas to change a light bulb, one to steady the ladder, one to unscrew the old bulb and one to pass the new bulb over.

Chihuahuas are without doubt the most sustainable breed, they are so clever they can make us do almost anything for them!

I think you're really onto something here. Maybe there are lots of other animals that shake. Or we could get people with ADHD as well - they squirm around a lot.

Put them up on the top of tall poles. Then harness the motion in a generator.
My back of the envelope calculation says we could get about 50 watts an hour out of this. A lower power light bulb. or maybe an eco bulb for sure.

so to replace a 10MWatt powerstation we need about ...well... heaps.... of dogs.... just heaps... hey where do you get them anyway..... From the state of Chihuahua.... or from that fast food chain... maybe they have some....

eco power. I'm an expert. trust me

I call shenanigans. Before you get my penny I want to see that envelope.

No this is not an alternate energy source but maybe you could use the dog as a massager. Just hold it on your back when it hurts and you have saved the electricity of a real one. So therefore you have used him as a means to the same end.

That answer wins 10 brownie points for cuteness. The visual is simply hilarious!

Perhaps if you feed your Chihuahua a radioactive chalupa, it will grow to the size of Oshkosh, Wisconsin! Then it's a simple conversion of those ocean wave electrical generators, and voila! Hopefully your dog won't roam the earth looking for a cure.

I have a Chihuahua and from observing her I don’t feel that she can be a constant ‘alternative’ energy as she doesn’t shake all the time, however there are some uses I can think of:

Backup Generator – as my Chihuahua shakes most violently during a storm, then I can hook her up to a pulley system that would supply backup energy – this is especially useful if the storm leads to a power outage.

Drinks Mixer – my daughter just attended bar tending school and learned how to make a lot of cocktails – what better use of a Chihuahua’s latent power by strapping the cocktail ‘bottle’ to her back and helping my daughter mix those cocktails perfectly.

Salad – I love a good salad, but often find that it’s difficult to get the lettuce dry after washing it – so, get a colander, strap it to the Chihuahua’s back and you’ll have dry lettuce in no time.

Babies – we have a new grandson in the house and he often falls asleep when slowly rocked – however this can get tiresome for the parents, so strap the Chihuahua to the baby’s cot and you have an instant rocking cot!
