Windspire vertical turbine on sale now, aiming to capture the consumer wind power market (4)
on
Engadget (254) permalink
We've covered plenty of wind turbines over the years, but most tend to be awfully conceptual or rather unsuited to consumer applications. Being eco-geeks at heart we're happy to report on a new one that is both consumer-friendly and in production now. Mariah Power's Windspire is a 9 meter tall vertical turbine intended for residential or commercial installation, capable of providing about a quarter of the power an "average" household needs (2000 kWh annually). It's ...Contribute comment -

30 Compelling Works of Color Monochromatic Photography (15)
on
WebUrbanist (38) permalink
(source: fornal) When most people think about monochrome photography (or monotone photography for that matter), they immediately jump to black & white or grayscale. That’s not to say that they’re wrong, since monochrome photography most often does refer to capturing three-dimensional spaces in two-dimensional black-and-white, but by doing so they are limiting their options. Monochrome simply means ‘of one color’, and what that color ends up being, is entirely up to you. Here are some ...Shared by adam (11) Carl (21) DermDoc (Jeff) (27) Douglas L.

The blogosphere is all a-blog of a new cringe-inducing spoof published at McSweeney's. Its title, "Atlas Shrugged Updated for the Current Financial Crisis" sums it up well enough.

15 Seriously Strange and Amazing Staircases | WebUrbanist (41)
onWhen it comes to staircases, most architects stick to the basics, putting safety and stability before aesthetics. But others strive to have both, and in some cases, their creations become the focal point of a room - more art installation than functional architectural element. Stairs made of glass seemingly float on air, and innovative wooden creations serve as book storage and seating. These stair designs that go far beyond the basic, becoming works of art, ...Shared by Abhi (1) adam (11) adam (72) Adam Cook (1) Alex (7) Alfonso Martinez (0) Carl (21) chris (0) Chris H (1) db (14) Deborah Petersen (127) derek markham (90) DermDoc (Jeff) (27) hanzahar (0) homaid (0) jack (0) jason o (52) Jeff (47) Leena (120) lindenb (2) Mahesh Basantani (2) Marissa (4) MCK2007 (13) miasarmento (6) Miz Helena (0) Muhammad Saleem (51) Nathan (0) Nicolas Roberge (2) noel (2) NomadRip (3) nparker13 (27) pala (0) Russell (0) Sun Tzu (117) Susana Machado (1) sushaantu (0) Toby (26) Victor Barrera (96) Will (3) william barnes (1) Yvette (0)
