New student miracle technology generates clean energy, pays tuition, and provides a livable wage

Students in ASU's School of Sustainability have discovered a ground-breaking new technology for producing clean energy on campus. When fully launched, it will provide free electricity, eliminate all tuition fees, and pay participating students a livable wage. The super-secret system -- which is still under wraps until patent issues are settled -- works by tapping into the vast, but previously under-utilized, "waste" energy generated by everyday student activities, for example, skateboarding, dancing, pencil tapping, laughing, recycling, texting, and deep thinking. Excess energy from these pursuits is captured and then transmitted via a wireless intra-grid where it is converted to commercial-grade electricity for use as needed. "So far we've only tested this technology on the Polytechnic campus," said a student source, "but we see no reason why it can't be scaled up to power entire cities."
