A friend forwarded this link to interesting design ideas. WAY too much plastic, IMO, and too many "smart" gadgets, but creative nonetheless. I found it useful to stimulate my imagination toward more renewable, sustainable inventions. "Amazing" is a bit hyperbolic.

This is a page from a site featuring winners of design competitions in a wide variety of arenas. You can check out other great design winners via links on the left side bar on the page hyperlinked below. These inventions are amazing! This is just one that really left my jaw dropped. There is an amazing back pack solar cooker, a "love mattress", just lots of amazingly inventive great new ideas.

I have always been interested in possibilities with the Darrieus rotor.

"The wind energy system uses a Darrieus-type vertical axis wind turbine. It can operate normally even when the wind is not very strong."

Technology and materials available these days ought to b able to produce a
small high efficiency
Darrieus turbine for home electric power generation. Thses systems do not
have to be on a high tower,
can be light and mounted easilt alomst anywhere, i.e. safe and easy to
construct and install.
