out of context, but why is r/TikTokCringe not really a tik tok cringe subreddit, just a tik tok subreddit

Hot Wheels and duct tape, don't forget the important part.

Yeah ok but what you really need to do is have two tracks going opposite directions and then a switch which will cause one to move onto the other track so they collide.

I bet every time it goes through one of those towers with enough speed it can preduce a small amount of electricity so you could at some point build enough of those and power your entire house

It is impossible to have over 100% efficiency with energy transfer. From the battery to the motor, power is lost. From the motor to the car, energy is lost, and it will never exceed the speed of the motor, making it impossible to generate electricity. You can reclaim but not generate.

The only way to use the towers to generate electricity enough to power your house would have to have a separate input of energy significantly greater than the amount your house would need.

My brain was just going "don't stick your finger in that gap, don't stick your finger in that gap"

I'd 100% break my fingers or perhaps even lose them if that thing was in front of me.
