Micro Windmills could be coming to your home soon. Helping power things such as the lights in your house, your phone, etc. They were thought of & created by Jung-Chih Chiao & Smitha Rao. Chiao says that a couple thousand of these tiny windmills should be enough to power the security or the communication and lighting system of a single family home. This researcher also plans on selling them in packs of 100 for use as emergency cell phone chargers. But don't get too excited, these 1.8 mm sized windmills aren't exactly for sell yet. Chiao & Rao are still brainstorming with
Taiwanese manufacturer WinMems Technologies Co., about bringing these micro energy producers to market. For now, no one is quite sure if we'll be using Micro Windmills anytime soon. But I guess we'll see what the future holds!
