Comment on Earth needs more energy. Atlanta’s Super Soaker creator may have a solution.

Each door opening would have a physical theoretical max of 0.02 watt-hours.
Assuming you spent 8 hours opening a door every 10 seconds constantly, then you have 58 watt-hours of energy at the end of the day if you had 100% efficient generators. One typical solar panel would hit that in under 15 minutes in real-world energy collection, not theoretical.

Good soup thank you very much for doing the math. I was struggling
