You may not know this, but I am somewhat of an inventor. Over the years I've come up with a multitude of ideas, concepts and inventions. Many of them have been put into production, —sadly, not by me. Tired of losing these concepts, I will be using DA as an online journal of these ideas, which I invite you all to engage in conversation. As most of my ideas are for the betterment of humankind, I do not seek monetary compensation, my reward is pure thought and communication, and maybe a little recognition.
At this moment and for the past 10 years or so, I've been working on what I call "Lost Energy". If you have an understanding of physics you'll know that one of the Laws of Conservation of Energy states that "energy cannot be created nor destroyed". This got me thinking, everything that moves or heats up is expending energy, but if you look carefully you'll see that there is much more energy being lost.
In an attempt to show proof of concept, I will be posting my ideas online. This is because getting a Patent can be expensive. Now we all know that wind power has been around for a long time. All I am doing is thinking of using it in a more practical way with already existing structures in place.
As an artist and an inventor (somewhat) I intend for this to be a true harmonization of Art and Science. Some may argue that this is not possible... tisk! tisk! Open your mind and think again, for there is balance in the universe.
This concept also has a means of generating revenue through corporate brand sponsoring placed on the blade.
A Poor man's Patent is a myth, but this is all that I can do. A crude proof of concept, all illustrations, layout, design (logo and technical), and overall concept are my creation and therefore are copyrighted (yes, I understand that ideas cannot be copyrighted and have a thorough knowledge of copyright law).
If we are to change the world, I encourage everyone to jump in with conversation, help, advice... especially if you're an Electrical Engineer, Physicist... Do you have modifications that would benefit? Take this idea to the next level, but keep me in the loop so I can see the development.
I should explain a little about this, so... Imagine driving down the road and seeing every single street lamp, traffic light, bus stop under it's own power. A vertical windmill or horizontal depending on how you place it. I don't have an accurate numbers but I've heard that there are over 300,000 street lights in NYC. Imagine if everyone of them produced there own power or just 100 watts of electricity. That with LED lighting would cut the power consumption substantially.
I also want to install this into cars, so that just from the movement of the car alone will produce energy. I think that's kinda mind blowing. My contribution to earth hour. Anyhow, what do you think?
good idea the advertising stuff im studing industrial design, so, i dont understang pretty much how it works, but the conceptualization is good! why we dont get energy from everywhere?!, saving bulb can eat my socks haha
Good luck for all your energy saving inventions!
Thanks, I've already been contacted by someone with Electrical Engineering background.
