Researchers Develop Method to Harness Puppy Energy

Puppies could be the solution to the world’s energy problems, according to researchers from the University of West Staffordshire in Great Britain. A team there claims to have developed a way to harness excess energy given off by puppies and convert it into usable electric power.

“The key is to take the kinetic energy of a puppy at play and then feed it into a low density battery for storage and trasport,” said researcher Alan Fwickle. “Then it’s just a matter of offloading it into a cooling tower where it heats water to create steam and spins turbines.”

If the team’s research can be validated, it could be a boon for the clean energy industry. 

According to Fwickle there are enough dogs in the world to meet all of the energy needs of Western Europe.

Puppy Aces Agility Tests

The first step to obtaining a puppy license is agility testing, and local dog Grigsby has scored a perfect 10 out of 10 on his tests.

According to a press release issued by the State Board of Puppy Certification, Grigsby set a state record on the cones and absolutely demolished the ropes course enroute to his perfect score. It is only the third perfect score in the history of the test.

Next, Grigsby will face the very challenging written exam.
