We are always brainstorming ways to cut down on our server costs. One of the biggest costs is the electricity to run these machines so we have been on the lookout for alternative power sources. It turns out one of those power sources is in your hands. It is estimated that internet users generate approximately 1.21GW of electricity by spinning the scroll wheels on their mice and we intend to capture this and put it to good use.
Without getting too much into the details, we have been working with a hardware manufacturer to build an intermediary device that sits between your mouse and your PC that captures the power generated by your mouse wheel and uses 5G technology to route the power to your local data center.
If you are interested, check out the Power Generation page and see how much power you can contribute. Thanks for lending us a hand!
@PlaneFlightX Hacking? I'm really not sure how to explain that...
Ok, this could generate power for MY (nonexistent) local data centers, but what about me generating power for YOUR local data centers? I don't see how generating power for someone's local data center from far away could be feasible at all, plus why me to do the electricity work? I'm lazy af! I don't want to!
.
I've got a better idea. Why not just build a giant computer mouse, replace the scroll wheel with a water wheel, put the mouse upside down, and put it in a river? BOOM! now that's a better solution, and it doesn't rely on some dude with impending carpal tunnel syndrome!
If you're one mobile

@windshifter1 yeah that doesn't explain the meme amount of gigawatts though. I spent half an hour combining a full stream deck of macros and my G502's unlockable scroll wheel and I could only do 8 kilowatts per session.
@windshifter1
Ah….
UNLIMITED POWER!!!!!
@RepublicOfCursedPlanes @TheMouse I've seen this before, and I know it is so old, but I just figured it out. Just increase your mouse's scroll speed (under 'lines to scroll at a time')
@plane918273645
How do you have so much power?
UNLIMITED POWER!
how was one person able to generate 314,159,265,358,979,000 gigawatts
@Juno joke
Is this an actual thing that works, or is it just a joke?
I thought I was being hacked
So i was hoping to 3d print some stuff like before bit before there was that thing we could use that is no oonger a partner (also they didn't print moving parts as moving meaning you always ended up with a solid block )
I was wondering what 3d printers would work in printing parts that can move
Wait what..... Wireless power? Maybe I'm stupid and misunderstood something but if i didn't then we could use this technology to make planes with infinite range...
Can anyone explain why my achievement of 457.816 Gigawatt's of server power was reduced?
Is this another one of those COOL KIDS conspiracies on SP? Ya know where
only a certain group somehow ever gets massive votes and spotlights even when their
build is complete garbage. While some little guy goes unnoticed. I am just Chaka, I
didn't know Elite were going to take me down too.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@rexzion whislt this is true i will grudgingly upvote
every time yall ask for an update andrew garrison delays the update 1 month more
Hi 👋 is there going to be a big update or an update it been like 7 to 8 months with out one ☝️ I know you have your hands full with simple rockets 🚀 2 but is there going to be a update for us SimplePlanes player it’s just fill like we been leaved in the dark it would be great if you can let us know if there is going to be a update or last update for this game? or maybe 🤔 there might be a simpleplanes 2 in the making 🤔 that would be great as well 🤤. all the best
But when will the new update appear?@Jundroo @AndrewGarrison
1.21 GW GREAT SCOTT!
@RunwayLane yeah:'(
I wonder if WNP78 could time travel with the electricity he made
Tip:
If your mouse wheel can be loosen, you can use a compressed air can/sprayer to get a $H|t ton of velocity
@Cream oh hey you're kinda back tho
