Wind Turbine made from 100% recyclable scrap and costs only $40 - is the developing world listening?

"Max Robson, 22, constructed a prototype using rubbish collected from skips, tips and bins including an old bike frame and wheel bearings, the magneto from a Vespa, a battery from a Ford Fiesta and bits of wood."

Hard to believe the Daily Mail ran this story.

This is UNREAL

SI agrees with me.

I just tried this frisbee offspring this weekend and it's so good if you like running a lot. Played on the National Mall (wash dc) with the US Capitol Building in the background - yeah, that's how every frisbee game should really be played.

Lecture alert: Senator Hagel at the World Bank

I went to a lecture given by Senator Hagel at the Bank two weeks ago to a packed audience. Senator Hagel was remarkably honest and selflessly promoting his new book "America: Our Next Chapter". My initial expectations were exceeded and what stood out was a Senator who believed in bipartisanship and international consensus. Maybe it was only because he is not standing for elections and set to retire from the Senate?


Now, i just read his article in the Harvard International Review: "At a Dangerous Crossroad". Basically his Bank lecture recycled with some finesse.

So true
