The Feline Engine (a.k.a The Cattery)

Everyone knows that cats always land on their feet, right?  And of course, the old addage states that buttered toast always lands buttered side down.  Well, I propose we attatch buttered toast (buttered side up) to the backs of cats.  When dropped, the cat/toast will hover above the ground, spinning ever faster as the cat attempts to land on its feet and the toast attempts to spread its spread upon the floor.  Once this spinning phenomenon has begun, I propose we encase this spinning cat/toast in a wool lined tube.  As the cat spins, its fur will react with the wool and create static electricity.  This electricity can be captured and harnessed for a clean, limitless supply of energy.  Households will be run from spinning cats.  Whole cities can be powered by subteranean tabbies spinning in tubes.

Furthermore, I beleive that after a set amount of time (which I beleive to be 3.14 years due to the number pi's relevance to rotational motion) the rotational velocity of the cat/toast will begin to approach infinity.  At this point, the amount of energy produced by one cat will exceed anything the world can use.  One spinning cat, giving power to the entire world.

On the down side, feeding these cats will pose a problem.
