There's *got* to be a use for these things.

I'm guessing that if you strapped a couple hundred or so of the larger
models together, they'd make a fairly respectable sludge aeration
machine for a small sewage treatment plant. You could use captured
methane to supply the electricity, and a rural village somewhere in some
"emerging economy" would have a nasty sanitation problem solved *and*
probably have electricity left over so they could watch QVC on TV!
