Cool concept.
Got to be careful bungee jumping of that one..
Solid idea, why hasn't this been used yet.
If the women don't find ya handsome. They should at least find ya handy.

Should probably specify that in the title.FloppY_ wrote:

So should the people who wrote the article ... but it's pretty obvious once you've read the first 10 words or looked at the picture.
I know, but I can't since the artist seems to have dubbed his creation the solar wind bridgeUnkleRukus wrote:

Seems like a pretty good idea.
Probably cost, as well as campaign donations from ExxonMobil and co.RDMC wrote:

theyre not stupid, theyd ride on this shit too. a lot of alt energy developments are from investment firms and oil companies lulz.loubot wrote:

probably won't look like that, turbines will be uniformed-sized ish or not even turbines, rather those spinning helical blade thingies
Depends, if someone would actually care about aesthetics they could be like that...Trotskygrad wrote:

But since politicians are in charge of the $$$ then yeah, they'd remake it to look boring as fuck...

Looks inefficient, turbines need to be as high as possible, that'll really increase the side loading and will only work in two narrow directions.
Not a good idea at all.

The bridge is already there and has been decommissioned... architects were tasked to find uses for it...Dilbert_X wrote:

I'd say that solar wind concept was way better than the garden that beat it...

well consider bridges that cross valleys, the funnelling on the land will force the wind to travel down the valley so direction is no longer a problem and secondly the funneling effect will accelerate wind speed and thus maximising turbine efficiency (\o/ GCSE geog)
We need a geography nerd to explain this in more detail i.e. ted4mods.
You've only gotta drive across one (for those in the UK, know of the one crossing lake Hollingworth on the m62) the cross wind is very apparent as the wind is forced downwards through the valley and if this engineering and mafs is correct a lot of free energy is going to waste.
a good idea in some cases

Blackbelts are just whitebelts who have never quit.
imagine how much free energy could be captured here...
