So you have already build a hard drive clock. What else could an old hard drive be good for? How about a hard drive generator? The guys at The Workshop were thinking outside of the box when they came up with this one.
“Here’s an excelent way to recycle your old hard drives and have them create energy for you! This site shows how to use a bunch of old hard drive parts to create a generator and elsewhere on the site there are directions on how to set up a windmill. So when you’re done you can have the wind turn parts of your old hard drives and give you free electricity!”
