I t doesn't defy EXACTLY the laws of conservation guttering flame Send a noteboard - 20/11/2009 03:02:16 PM
You could create turbines near the shore, open a gateway several meters below the surface of the ocean, and let the ocean dump into the turbines to generate electricity. Then the water drains into the ocean and you have a fantastic violation of the conservation of energy which allows you to get out a lot more energy than you put in.

Or you could destroy the planet as you just mentioned.


It would work because there's an infinite reservoir of One Power energy that any channeler can channel by thinking about it (or then tie and leave to flow on on itself).

If the Forsaken really wanted to defeat the Light - gateways at the bottom of the ocean... Shannow - 20/11/2009 02:02:59 PM 2134 Views
I've actually thought that would be a great way to make a power plant. Narg - 20/11/2009 02:48:21 PM 1137 Views

The Forsaken don't think like that Sidious - 20/11/2009 02:57:27 PM 1176 Views
I specifically referred to Ishamael, who shares none of those motivations with the other Forsaken... Shannow - 20/11/2009 03:11:26 PM 1382 Views
What in the world... outer space?? This is fantasy, not sci-fi *NM* BlackAdder - 20/11/2009 03:08:26 PM 581 Views
RJ has stated that channelers can Travel to other planets, even other solar systems... Shannow - 20/11/2009 03:12:37 PM 1095 Views
I didn't expect him to answer that question, it was just something I was wondering about Ryan - 20/11/2009 04:06:53 PM 1130 Views
OK... BlackAdder - 20/11/2009 05:15:32 PM 978 Views

No. Only if the knott is deliberately tied loosely... Shannow - 20/11/2009 03:20:18 PM 991 Views
This brings up an "Evil Wins, What Next?" scenario I've always wondered about Sandwich - 20/11/2009 03:39:14 PM 1150 Views

Read Sanderson's Mistborn trilogy. =) *NM* Rand al'Thor - 20/11/2009 07:18:01 PM 559 Views
The DO doesn't have the motivations of the forsaken, he doesn't think like a human... Napoleon62 - 22/11/2009 03:38:15 PM 1122 Views
They would have to know the bottom of the ocean very well to create. *NM* LlordNakcor - 20/11/2009 05:02:50 PM 491 Views
Wouldn't be too hard, given Rand's trick. *NM* BlackAdder - 20/11/2009 05:12:22 PM 606 Views

You're kidding right? LewsTherin10 - 20/11/2009 05:31:36 PM 1043 Views
Yeah, this has actually been discussed Marshall - 20/11/2009 05:50:21 PM 1227 Views

Gateway "magic" accounts for this, or most gateways would have STRONG breeze Asha'man Warder - 20/11/2009 06:43:44 PM 1117 Views
Very conducive places, the bottom of the sea and outer space... fionwe1987 - 20/11/2009 07:01:56 PM 4475 Views
Knee jerk disagreement without thinking beyond: "I don't like the idea so let's flame it..." Shannow - 20/11/2009 07:12:38 PM 1281 Views
Actually... Rand al'Thor - 20/11/2009 09:15:39 PM 1101 Views
And your response is even sillier ideas? Think for more than three minutes before responding again. fionwe1987 - 20/11/2009 11:08:59 PM 1018 Views
I must say... this has been highly entertaining! *NM* BlackAdder - 21/11/2009 01:59:51 AM 1039 Views
Yeah... I've been chuckling at this whole thread Sidious - 21/11/2009 10:23:51 AM 1153 Views

Great question. These fundamental issues are the REAL challenges to be overcome, yes... Shannow - 21/11/2009 07:50:46 AM 1095 Views
Thanks guttering flame - 21/11/2009 08:03:28 AM 1109 Views
Fluids CAN move across gateways on their own. We saw it with the draft of wind in tGS. *NM* BlackAdder - 21/11/2009 01:32:46 PM 562 Views
Oh, and regarding the new Travelling skill Nynaeve mentions in tGS... Shannow - 21/11/2009 08:03:45 AM 1111 Views
Ah, thanks guttering flame - 21/11/2009 08:10:48 AM 1010 Views
Actually, I just reread that passage, and now I'm confused again... Shannow - 21/11/2009 08:30:17 AM 1028 Views
Its pretty simple... fionwe1987 - 21/11/2009 08:07:14 PM 980 Views
You don't learn a place when you Travel TO it... Shannow - 21/11/2009 08:23:11 PM 1065 Views
The same issue again... fionwe1987 - 21/11/2009 08:58:37 PM 1008 Views
No, you're wrong, and here are the quotes... Shannow - 22/11/2009 06:51:06 AM 1223 Views
That might mean nothing... fionwe1987 - 22/11/2009 06:37:33 PM 1092 Views
That does seem inconsistent... Legolas - 21/11/2009 09:25:52 PM 1300 Views
They might have shared Gateways, so only those who wove them know the area? *NM* Marshall - 21/11/2009 10:00:04 PM 506 Views
That has to be the first sensible question broached in this thread... Legolas - 21/11/2009 09:18:59 PM 1272 Views
Since Shannow seems to think disagreeing with him is EVIL... fionwe1987 - 21/11/2009 08:38:55 PM 1039 Views

The simplest explanation'd be that GWs can't be opened in water, since it moves/changes constantly Lordling - 20/11/2009 07:27:08 PM 940 Views

The Forsaken DON'T want to defeat the Light. Rand al'Thor - 20/11/2009 09:18:42 PM 1124 Views

Actually here's an even simpler idea: open a gateway into a Black Hole. *NM* BlackAdder - 21/11/2009 01:53:38 AM 630 Views
You can't...there aren't any Black Holes close enough... Shannow - 21/11/2009 03:22:38 AM 1050 Views

Surely Moridin could channel enough of the True Power... *NM* BlackAdder - 21/11/2009 01:19:05 PM 473 Views
Moridin cannot channel any more of the True Power than he can of the One Power. Shannow - 21/11/2009 01:58:30 PM 953 Views
He managed to do great fits with the power he had. guttering flame - 21/11/2009 05:12:52 PM 948 Views
