Would you like to save energy? Well that is exactly what Jung-Chih Chiao the electrical engineering professor at the University of Texas had in mind. He came up with the idea when a gust of wind blew through his backyard. Chiao and his associate Smitha Rao bulit the prototype. He set out to create these cute micro windmills that measure out to be 1.8 millimeters at their widest point. That's so small that a bowl of rice would have have hundreds of thousands of them. Chiao estimates that because so many can be made from a single wafer the price to make one is thousands so said in other words it is more to make then its being sold for. The researcher also envisions selling them in packs of 100 for use as emergency cell phone chargers. In other words to use in case of an emergency. (not for Todd just broke up with Amanda and is trying to get with Amanda's best friend Hayley) The best part is that Chiao and Rao who are still fine-tuning the windmill are already brainstorming and teaming up with Taiwanese manufacturer WinMems Technologies Co., who are trying to bring the mini windmill to the market. Witch means that the day when we will all be proud owners of windmill chargers is not far away!
- I still have the prototype of my project.
- Ashlynn assert that she thought Justin looked good today.
- Jung-Chih Chiao wants to get a patent for his invention.
- The Mississippi bridge is very durable.
- Mine and my moms relationship is some would say arduous.
- If you've ever been to six flags and rode the Batman you have to ware a harness.
- Tyler contemplated on how into God Bree was.
- Cody offered me a wafer.
- Justin couldn't withstand his job, so Ashlynn would always help him feel better.
