Moonbat Tech: Blood-Powered Lamp

A true moonbat is willing to suffer to save the polar bears — even to bleed for them. That's why his home is not complete without a blood-powered lamp:

Perhaps you would be better about lowering your carbon footprint if lighting up your home required a sample of your own blood. Designer Mike Thompson thinks so.
His concept Blood Lamp calls for users to break off the top of the bulb-shaped glass, cut their finger on the jagged edge and then mix a tablet in with their own blood. Some sort of mysterious, unexplained chemistry ensues and the bulb glows.

In case you aren't moonbatty enough to grasp the moral significance, The Design Blog explains:

Illustrating the importance of energy in human life and provoking the consumers to reduce on their carbon footprints, designer Mike Thompson has designed an innovative light called "Blood Lamp" that as depicted by its name, generates power from blood. … As excessive blood loss is dangerous to one's life, similarly overexploitation of natural resources, to produce extra energy, effects the environment and our quality of life.

Only with the Blood Lamp can you wallow in deranged liberal sanctimony just by turning on a light.

Ok, at this point, if your going for the blood sacrifice, you've got to admit, it's a religion.

Posted by: tibby at September 22, 2009 1:19 PM

We just need to let the moonbats develop their technologies and encourage them. Give or take a few years they'll have generators working on human sacrifices.

Posted by: Jay B at September 22, 2009 1:23 PM

So I could abduct a moonbat, tie it up and use its blood for my lamp until it runs out, then go get another one. I think I could work with that. I like a lot of light.

What size holes do you need to poke in them to draw blood 5.56 or 7.62?

Posted by: Bill at September 22, 2009 1:43 PM

Even worse, as Tibby mentionned, sacrifices now mean it's officially a religion.

Posted by: Jay B. at September 22, 2009 1:48 PM

This is ridiculous, even for liberal crap. It's simply the luminol reaction, so beloved of CSI. Any heme protein will catalyze the reaction, even horseradish peroxidase. So spare yourself the blood and put some horseradish in instead.

Posted by: Jay Guevara at September 22, 2009 1:57 PM

PS: this stupid thing doesn't derive power from blood. The hemoglobin is strictly catalytic; it simply promotes the chemical reaction that releases the energy contained within the original reactants. The energy released no more comes from blood than that from burning gasoline comes from a spark. Sheesh.

Just as long as their earth mother GAIA demands daily sacrifices of unborn babies so they can read their SIERRA magazine without harming the earth they worship

1. Buy blood bulb.

2. Break glass.

3. Slash your wrist.

4. ????

5. Light!

Stay tuned for next Friday's sermon at your friendly neighborhood mosque where you'll hear how the Jooz use the blood of Christian/Muslim children to power their menorahs.

Posted by: BackPain at September 22, 2009 2:18 PM

anytime I can get a libtard to shed blood is a good day. I'm all for this. I suggest we start chipping in so that every libtard has at least 10000 of these in their home.

I like seeing libtards bleed.


Posted by: FreeWillie at September 22, 2009 2:32 PM

So what you're saying, Jay, is you'd have to buy a new bulb every time you wanted light, because the reaction is irreversible, is that correct? Brilliant from a marketing standpoint, idiotic from a conservation standpoint.

Posted by: Judith M. at September 22, 2009 2:39 PM

Judith, that's absolutely correct, on both counts. Blood doesn't generate the power, it frees the power inherent in the reaction mixture in the bulb. The situation is exactly analogous to switching on a flashlight; doing so just releases the power stored in the dry cells. When they're exhausted, that's it - time for new dry cells. The switch is incidental to the whole thing.

Just means more animals being killed to light peoples homes . You have an option in Moonbat World , slash yourself or the neighborhoods pets .

Posted by: Galligher at September 22, 2009 2:57 PM

@ BackPain:

Never happen. Christian children (the remaining ones who haven't been converted over to leftist theology and cajoled into turning their parents into the White House) and their parents will be the first ones marched into the ovens by Reichschancellor Jugears; you'll never hear the left complain about the deaths of practicing Catholics or Protestants.

Race war and theistic genocide brought to you by Soros & Co; coming soon. Enjoy.

Posted by: The End at September 22, 2009 3:02 PM

I hope they will need a LOT of light. BUT it would be just like taxes, they just like to write them NOT pay them. They'll be wanting someone to bleed for them. Watch out for the Blood Czar.

Posted by: TED at September 22, 2009 3:15 PM

This is great! Conservatives should buy these bulbs and invite over some liberals for political debate.

After enough logic is injected into the air, blood will be shooting out their ears and everything will be illumniated.

Posted by: arkady at September 22, 2009 3:45 PM

Hoo boy! Another "too many ideas to chose from" artical! Well, here goes:

> Now you know what they mean by "bleeding heart Liberal".
> I can't power this bulb because I gave my last drop of blood to the IRS!
> Get your guns, the Liberals are out for blood!
> Now we know how the "science czar" plans to distribute the sterilization drug to reduce the population.

Posted by: KHarn at September 22, 2009 3:50 PM

No blood for light!

Jay G. This is almost as cool as the orange juice powered clock! (Are you a science teacher/professor?). I'm not for the record, although I work with chemsitry/biology teachers.

"save the polar bears"

On July 30th accuweather.com posted:

"The National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) released a graph showing the different projections for the Arctic sea ice minimum that will occur sometime in September. The researchers make projections using a variety of techniques, ranging from sophisticated sea ice [models] to simpler statistical analyses."

http://global-warming.accuweather.com/2009/07/where_will_the_arctic_sea_ice.html#comments

16 different research teams predicted between 4.0 million sq km to 5.2 million sq km as the minimum extent of sea ice for this year.

IJIS reports that the minimum for 2009 was 5.25 million sq km, reached on September 13th.

Despite their variety of techniques, we have more sea ice than any expert predicted. Chalk [another] one up to the skeptics.

The New Bio-Hazard Lamp! A sure-fire way to spread all blood-borne diseases as easy as snap, crack, slit! Haz-Mat's dream come true! More gov't involvement when disposing of the "lamp" at the end of it's life ... adding to the evil landfill.

How about blood from the jugular vein? Rid the earth of humans, remember! Tag! You're it! (idiot)

That's one of the funniest things I've read for quite some time!! Your keen insight is appreciated. Thank you!

Posted by: Murff at September 23, 2009 4:05 AM

Mr Evilwrench,

The "experts" are manipulating the future of American prosperity by making projections through the use of flawed science. The graph from the NSIDC clearly shows.

Conclusion: The planet is stable. The global warming alarmists are not.

Posted by: RICH at September 23, 2009 4:52 AM

Why can't you conservatards ever have an open mind about new ideas? We need to consider energy from ALL sources, even the human powered bicycles used on Gilligan's Island.

Posted by: Meh at September 23, 2009 8:05 AM

It's really true: you can't fix stupid.

Posted by: Jay Guevara at September 23, 2009 9:55 AM

Meh,

You're not a conservative? Don't you believe in the conservation of energy?

I agree with you, in part, that we need to consider all [viable] energy sources. However, the ways and means for securing our future (cap and trade) is not the way to go.

We have time. There is no tipping point when it comes to AGW. This is pseudo-science perpetuated by nut jobs, the MSM, and those with ulterior motives.

We are still the greatest and most innovative country in the world. Atleast for now. Let the free markets work.

Some of these eco-weenie wackos are so into this gaia poppycock preached by that wacko jerk JAMES LOVELOCK they must think every earthquake,storm,drougth,etc is gaia sending a message to her children to treat her with respect its like a dumb bumper sticker i saw a few weeks ago showing the earth and saying LOVE YOUR MOTHER the typical ideas from stupid green cunts

Al Gore and Michelle Obama would be bloodless in five minutes if they applied this concept to all of their "carbon footprints".
