Device Harnesses Wind Power from Passing Trains

When you think of wind power, you think of giant turbines harnessing big breezes. But industrial designers in China have developed a device that can capture the wind created by trains as they whoosh down the track. The "T-Box" device is installed between railroad ties and buried half-underground so as to not interfere with normal train operation. As the train passes overhead, the whooshing wind spins a turbine inside the T-Box to generate electricity.

Wind Turbines Might Help Crops Absorb More CO2, Fight Fungal Infections, Etc

According to the preliminary results from research done by DOE and University of Colorado scientists, wind turbines built in the middle of crop fields might be doing more than just producing electricity. Indeed, while the turbines don't produce any more air movement (in fact, they decrease it a bit because they absorb some of the wind's energy), they do create more air turbulence which "may speed up natural exchange processes between crop plants and the lower atmosphere."
