    Newton's cradle sounds like a kinky sex move, which is ironic since Newton was likely a virgin.

  • Yeah. Sort of like holding two ends of a chain and dragging it back and forth. Even if the chain isn’t traveling the full length, it’s still moving and you could still extract power from the system if you attached something to the middle of the chain.
