You know,a limitless source of power? Have a whole team of them pull plows or buggies,being led with blinders and a rat in a cage in front. Like leading a donkey with a carrot on a stick! They could turn a grain mill, because that's just walking in circles. Get them turning some power generators while they're at it. I see a green future with clean, sustainable zombie power!
shareThat idea was actually used by a group of pirates in the Z NATION comic miniseries earlier this year (put together by that show's co-creator). They didn't blindfold the zombies; they put a live person in there and had the zombies follow him around.
shareIs the show or comic any good?
shareThey're both a blast. The comic was only a miniseries--a six-issue prequel to the tv shows. The series is great. It takes a few eps for it to find itself--the pilot is pretty rough and the first few eps imperfect--but by the 4th ep, it's cooking with gas and pretty much stays good. A lot better than THE WALKING DEAD.
shareNice. I see they are on Netflix. I'll probably start this weekend.
shareI love the comics. It adds a great other depth to the show. Issue 174 just came out. You can read them all for free on Youtube (shh). Also, there is a 16 part comic of Negan's backstory. It does not spoil anything for the show. It's called "Here's Negan" . That is also on YT.
Edit - Sorry - I am referring to TWD
The compendiums are very affordable. I'll get them some day.
shareThere was an article on Jalopnik a while back with some designs for zombie (albeit GoT zombies) powered vehicles. Quite entertaining. But yeah, definitely a source of energy until they full rot and can't walk. I envision putting a bunch of them strapped to beams, walking around in circles, pushing around a central post that turns like a turbine.

There's also the theory of making zombie diesel with lye and methanol but that might be complete fantasy that I read somewhere.
Sounds great. If poor oxen can be used, why not walkers !
