    Potential Generator

    Created in 2001 for Harrison’s Degree Show at Nottingham Trent University, this kinetic sculpture is designed to give gravitational potential energy to apples. Apples are placed on the escalator device at the rear of the bike and, when pedalled, are transported to a height above the ground proportional to their chemical energy content. A similar, proportionally larger, Potential Generator for doughnuts was also designed.

Terrific book. Very readable and so interesting. All your answers to why things (often not great) happen in Glasgow.

If you care about Glasgow read this book.

I finally finished it! An online comprehensive Bibliography for the Book. I hope it's useful: glasgoweffect.ellieharrison.com/bibliography/
