Wind Power from Highways
Here’s a great concept for re-using the wind generated from cars racing on the highways. Great idea! Save earth and peace!
Average vehicle speeds on the valley highways are approximately 70 mph. Using average annual wind speeds of 10 mph as a baseline, each single wind turbine will produce 9,600KwH of energy, annually (enough to fully power my 700 s.f. apartment). This power production estimate will increase exponentially with an increase in wind turbulence speed. I believe that the wind stream created over the freeways by our primary mode of transportation will create an average annual wind speed well beyond the baseline of 10 mph.

Cool robots~
What do a 47 year old wind-turbine designer, a 16 year old high school student, a 30-something hobbyist and ex-R/C car fanatic, and the world’s most well known character-type robot creator have in common?
They all live, eat, breath, and sleep humanoid robots. For them, it’s an uncontrollable passion. Plain and simple, they love robots. And, luckily for all the rest of us robot fans around the world, Kyosho, with support from Kondo brought together this unusual team of robot creators to give birth to the growing line of MANOI Athlete Humanoid Robots - the AT01 and the PF01.
