Professor Yuji Ohya and team from Kyushu University have created
the “wind lens.” It is a contoured circular structure affixed
around turbine blades that draws more air into the turbine.
Current wind farms are already more cost effective than coal
plants. The new improvement will make wind power less expensive
than nuclear power and devoid of radiation hazard. A standing
ovation, Japanese scientists, for your ingenious innovation. May
more refined clean technologies such as this soon become widely
available and contribute to a long-lasting and calm planet. http
