Check out wind-loving designer Michael Jantzen’s newest invention, a wind tunnel footbridge. Jantzen thinks it’ll be cool to have a bridge that doubles as a modern windmill in museums and public parks around the world. The five giant wheels have blades on them that spin according to surrounding winds, and the power generated by then can presumably be used to produce energy. I could see one in the Parc de la Villette in Paris, or maybe in Odaiba, Tokyo, but I think it might look a little gaudy elsewhere.
