This is the start of me doing things that i want to do, i host a radio show at my school on Sundays 10-12 talking about anything. Anyone can listen at wsam.hartford.edu

this right here is creative (imagination is key)

My friends and I used to play a game called Highway Hopping, where we’d sneak out late at night and run across I-95 right here (none of us were getting laid yet). I suppose we won the game because none of us died. We discovered that’s it’s extremely windy next to the highway because cars go fast and drag along a lot of air behind them.

We also found a homeless guy’s hideout under a bridge, but that was its own adventure. 

Anyway, I was thinking about how windy it is on the highway and how that much wind must be useful to someone, somehow, when I had the above idea: the Jersey Generator. 

After an extremely shallow investigation into how wind turbines work, I’m reasonably certain this would work. Cars go by -> The wind spins a fan -> the fan drives a shaft -> The shaft spins into a generator where, using science, electricity is created -> That electricity feeds the grid or goes into batteries, to be emptied later. Each little fan wouldn’t create too much power, but we have a lot of highways and all those little volts will add up fast. 

Here’s the real beauty of the Jersey Generator, it solves the energy crisis (as far as I can tell). If we all drive electric cars, the cars will power the generators which will power the cars which will power the generators, ad infinitum. Even if we don’t all get electric cars, the excess power created by the Jersey Generators will make car charges so cheap that owning a gas-powered car will become fiscally foolish eventually. Best of all, it’s a closed circuit, self-reliant and self-sustaining. A little tax money to maintain the infrastructure and we’ll never have to go to Iraq again! And we can use our domestic oil for it’s intended purpose: exploring space. Obviously. History will not judge us kindly if we keep using our oil to go to Wal-Mart instead of Mars. 

Can any scientists poke a hole in this? (NOTE: If you’re an oil company scientist, please keep your thoughts to yourself) 

As always, drafting by Derek Winegar. 

Yes. While I don’t totally agree with the “ad infinitum” part (there will be energy loss in the turbines and cars will require more energy to move than they are creating with wind) it’s a fantastic idea, and something that will help with add some power to the grid for homes or to refuel your electric car.

engineering is the future, ideas coming to life and that’s what im going for =)
