[Describe panel here]

Ladies and gentlemen, according to the media, america has a blood pressure problem. I say no. We have a blood pressure surplus.

Suppose we assume the average american is 50 mmhg over the ideal systolic blood pressure.

Suppose that the average american contains 6 liters of blood.

According to bernoullis

Equation for incompressible fluids, if we can harvest that pressure with perfect efficiency, we can access 40 megajoules per

Person.

That's 12 billion mega-joules of american energy enough to launch ten million kilograms to space!

Think about it - why would the government fund vast

Public health campaigns to try to make us diet and exercise unless they had a compelling

Reason/d

They're not protecting our health/ they're

Citizens! Every time we increase our average surplus blood pressure ten percent we gain a ballistic cannon to space!

Protecting their space combat

Advantage!

How would you harvest any of that energy let alone all of it.2

In closing an idealized model is always a good

Starting point.
