Energy For Beer

No of course not - you cannot get energy from beer, beyond the psychological effects of drinking it. You can throw a lit match into it and just pfffts the flame out. You can put wires in it an it just sits there. If you pass a current through it, not exactly recommended, it just bubbles a little bit. It acts more like a resistor than anything that adds energy.

No, the energy is FOR the beer, not the other way around. Beer is not easily replaced by any other stuff. Wine is just not the same. Whiskey is definitely too much. You can't just chug mugs of tequila like you can chug mugs of beer. The Egyptians knew the importance of beer.

(Hmmm. I don't really like beer, or any alcoholic beverage.) But there are definite beer enthusiasts out there, entire football stadiums full. There are sports bars and pizza bars and barbecues and backyard cookouts, all with their favorite brews and some with their own breweries. But to make beer, you gotta have energy.

Certainly everyone knows about 60 cycle hum. This is the familiar hum of everyday house electricity in America. Light bulbs are all blinking 60 times per second. There are coils of wire that are being reversed in magnetic field polarity 60 times per second. One only need to produce very small balls that vibrate 60 times per second to produce energy. The balls will become slightly warmer. One can make many tiny pendulums that tick their 60 cycle ticks and produce a machine that perpetually runs, so long as the 60 cycle hum exists.

I shall name the resulting brew "HUMS Beer" -- from the land of 60 hertz.
