In this electrifying episode of Sparking Interest, Kaden dives headfirst into humanity’s most hilariously misguided attempts at generating power — from jellyfish-powered solar cells to hamster-wheel electricity, coffee-fueled cars, and even the absurd dream of tapping into planetary motion. With a blend of humor, curiosity, and just the right amount of scientific skepticism, Kaden explores how our boldest energy ideas often teeter between genius and spectacular failure. Along the way, you’ll encounter perpetual motion machines, crystal-powered fantasies, and a beer-fueled brewery that actually worked. It’s a whirlwind tour of invention, ambition, and glorious nonsense — a celebration of the wonderfully ridiculous spirit that keeps humanity dreaming, tinkering, and occasionally lighting things on fire (for science, of course). Tune in, get charged up, and remember: even the worst ideas can spark something incredible.
