Any perpetual motion machine. But the silliest such perpetual motion machine was the car that supposedly runs on water.

This is my favourite:
I don't think there's one single energy source that can get us off of fossil fuels, by itself, at least not with present technology. Luckily, there's not just one energy source out there. The more options we have in play, the sooner we can cut our use of coal and petroleum.
So, I figured I'd bring a touch of levity to Y!A GW today, by asking everyone to mention the most silly-seeming, bizarre, or outlandish plausible power/electricity sources they've seen. Sources, as always, welcome. But please stick to things that actually are at least plausible with current or very-near-future technology.
