When I wrote that I was just thinking about the most popular sources of electricity would only make it spin faster. Rising temperatures because of all the dead dinosaurs we're burning = more melting = faster rotation = more electricity. I stand by my incredibly stupid initial statement with the dignity of a drowning seal.
As in global warming causes this, and the vast use of electricity and all it allows causes global warming, so using this to generate electricity would be ironic because it would produce just what's causing it to happen in the first place.
The energy produced is not the problem - it is the fossil fuel emissions generated by energy production that caust the warming. Once we have renewables (esp Solar, Wind and Wave) then energy production can proceed without causing damage to the environment.
Excellent. I remember seeing this years ago and have tried to find this footage again. Thanks for posting this.
That was fricking amazing!!
thats so cool, the glacier timelapse was breathtaking, but this one is really interesting.
my left ear thoroughly enjoyed this
Thats impressive. Imagine you spend half a day hanging pictures on the wall just to find them gone in a couple days :D Honey, thieves!
That's an ingenious use of low-tech. "Cool" stuff, thanks for posting!
Oh that's bad ass! It really is plastic deformation woah!
incredible piece of footage. Looked like a waterfall except it was ice of course
that is pretty amazing stuff!
They say "melted ice", because it was recently ice that melted (obviously). Water isn't only formed from ice melting. They were being specific.
i second that motion
I was looking fjord formation found sth really interesting
It is in the Alpes.
Between France, Switzerland and Italy ...
Whooo!
OPB HELL YEA!
I highly approve both of the original comment and later explanation.
"where a river of melted ice flows over the bedrock" MELTED ICE, HUH? what a fancy way of saying water! :D
I like, thumbs up.

Allot of force behind it, thinking about it one could attach a high tension gear of sorts to use the down movement to create energy. I think 😂
Me too, I want one ;]
Cool. Inventive
Trippy
Very cool. How did he find this place?
Impressive! Where is the glacier located?
incredible what happens in 10 minutes
@VmanLee That's really forward thinking of you. What would you have mounted your cantilever on? Nowadays this is done through GPS.
Obviously. But not just any old water, it's melted-ice water.
ironic electricity is the best kind of electricity
Jesus could you imagine if you fell and went into that river?
That would make for a nice cup of ice water
considering its a serious subject some of the comments on here are proper funny, you know, engage grey matter before jaw muscles, funny
i just want to drink all that!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why use complex mechanism or high tech components if not a spring attached bicycle wheel 😄
Surely then you could use it to generate some ironic electricity?
@ayuminor because if they didn't it'd sound like hello helllo. british comedy
So glacier speed is about 2.54×10^-5 km/h. REALLY slow.
The faster we mess up the world using conventional electricity, the quicker the wheels turn >_>
0:5.. sooo water? :L
Hipster electricity

A river of melted ice... isn't this just water?
Then why would a god make scientists?
ironic electricity?!?
ironictricity
"Melted ice"... so water then?

why the fuck did they translate the french guy with a english accent??
LOL
"a river of melted ice..." you mean water?
wow, its scary how many people liked your comment..
lol
Yes you could, but don't call me surely.
glaciers are melting because of our energy sources...could be used to generate clean energy and help save the planet
LUOA using 14 year old videos
Yes, because the use of electricity in itself is harmful in any way to the environment (sarcasm).
uhm
whose the wanna be morgan freeman?
