Wind powered ?!*%?
Thought it’d be fun to see what *else* can be wind powered other than a house. So, here’s what I’ve discovered.
- Wind powered car. What fun!
- Wind powered garden light. Not sure why wind would be better than solar in this case, but to each his own.
- Knitting machine that works when the wind blows.
- Robot! (Okay, so it’s not *really* a robot powered by a breeze, but the video is still really cool.)
- “Wind powered” laptop. (Read why that’s in quotes .) Seems one company thought labeling a laptop as green by buying some carbon offset credits would make it sell better in Japan. A must-read about how consumers are being hoodwinked by the green trend. (Which is not to say that everything green-related is a scam, just that some companies are less than above board in this arena.)
Enjoy the links to all-things wind powered and to learning about what *else* you can use renewable energy for. I sure did enjoy creating the roundup!
