Kinetic Wheels Transform Prayers Into Energy

Posted by samzenpus on Friday May 15, 2009 @05:18AM from the spin-the-wheel dept.

Jessica Mischner writes "If the mechanical energy generated by the movement of Tibet's spinning prayer wheels could be harnessed, we could potentially reduce the size of our current carbon footprint and supplement an inadequate and unreliable electrical grid for numerous individuals. The Prayer Wheel Energy Generator, designed by Taikkun Yang Li does just this by transforming all of those good vibes into electricity that could be used to provide reliable energy for daily needs such as evening lighting."

Posting first in idle just isn't as rewarding as it used to be.
