The idea of ‘Best out of waste’ generates abundance of inventions, concepts, projects and practical solutions. Right from the kindergarten level, we are provoked to recycle the waste around us into something more constructive and functional. On the same line, folks at Make World Better have come up with a brilliant idea to recycle the most abundant pollutant factor on highways. Their main principle is to recycle otherwise wasted energy in to electrical power. It is not unknown that high velocity vehicles use and emit a lot of energy while zooming on the highways. And how is it possible to utilize this windpower into most sought after energy? Well, a series of vertical axle, bi-directional wind turbines sit at core of highway that is able to recycle wind draft energy from both way of traffic. These wind turbines have wind tunnels on both side of their housing to collect wind energy from both side of traffic.
Since natural wind blows at one direction; at middle of highway, wind blow at two opposite directions. Hence there are guiding walls in between two wind turbines to guide wind draft to wind turbine. It is estimated that an average U.S. vehicle is driven 11,900 miles per year.
