Sometimes it takes a student to teach the sensei. A design competition for students has produced various ways to capture wind power by retrofitting highways and roadways with wind turbines. The simple [and brilliant] design captures the normally lost kinetic energy of vehicular traffic as it cruises along the PCH or GSP going 55-85mph.

I’m sure it will be a few years before we see such infrastructure actually implemented – but its about time designers start to think outside the box when it comes to creating ‘green’ technologies. We need to generate more great ideas like this: where energy is created through a simple and aesthetically pleasing device that that can be fitted within existing structures – like these jersey barrier turbines [shown below], which we covered here and here on MNP.

  1. Though this is a great idea, I believe I have an idea that I believe could generate far more energy than this, and it would not depend on the speed of the vehicle, and would be much simpler and barely discernable also.

    I am not an engineer, nor do I have credential of any sort, but the technical folks I’ve shared this with believe its a good idea but I just don’t know where to go with it without losing any proprietary rights.

    Perhaps this might be something of interest to you?!!
