Strange and Interesting Power Sources

[Nephtys]

There's a sci-fi RPG called Cthulutech. One fun concept was called the D-Engine, which (as with the setting) uses some sort of non-euclidean engineering that causes some mass to move in a 4th cartesian plane, generating work while remaining stationary in the 3d. Unlimited power. Except that if you ever look into the casing of the device, you go mad. Naturally.

And naturally the engineers who work on such things tend to go crazy over the years, mandating psychiatric help while working with CAD.

Also, if the D-Engine suffer a containment breach, bad thingsTM happen, in keeping with the Lovecraftian theme of the RPG (ex : incursion of extra-dimensional entities into our plane of existence).

The funny things is : even private cars are equipped with D-Engine, or their derivative technology the D-Batteries.

Ergon power, yes it's powered by sex drive

[Lord of the Abyss]

I recall reading about that, except it's Orgone.
