I have often wondered if you could use an AVR to control the speed of the 
infamous cat-and-butter motor.  Since buttered bread always falls buttered 
side down, and cats always land on their feet, if you strap a piece of 
buttered bread to a cat's back (butter facing up) and drop him, the two 
laws cancel each other and the cat hovers spinning above the floor. Add a 
shaft and you can get real power out!

There must be a way to control the speed.
