Patent Wind Turbine Charging

#Electrical #Patent #Turbine - We showed you a few days ago a project to make electric vehicles (motorcycles, cars) go further without batteries but with wind turbines. The project in our eyes is doomed to fail, but this recently submitted patent has a better chance.

The idea is the same, except here we are using normal batteries. The idea is to use specific spaces in the frame of the vehicle to place a wind turbine. When the vehicle is in motion, the wind passes through these boxes, which makes the blade turn. With the turning motion of the blades you can generate electricity, which can then be sent to either the electrical engine or to the batteries...........

#Quirky #Helmet #Lock - I often look for ideas to safely store my gear on a motorcycle. One of the biggest "problems" I have on my Ducati is where and how to store my helmet. I hate having to walk around with my helmet, so I usually end up with a small chain and a lock, tie up my helmet and lock it with the lock.

This Quirky project looking for support could do nicely to fulfill my helmet/lock issue. The lock has in fact two locks. One at the top, and a chain lock at the bottom. In between is a combination lock that actions both locks...........
