Blown away!
Here's an innovative use of our favorite fundamental force.
China has unveiled the world's first permanent magnetic suspension wind power generator in the city of Guangzhou.
It sounds like a mean green dream machine indeed.
The thing reportedly costs a tenth of the traditional wind generator, needs much less wind to operate, and can generate 20% more power.
It's reckoned that these will one day be used to power street lamps and zap power into the grid.
It may also be a good idea to locate one in front of the mouth of your local politician.
