Harness the power of whales
You don’t have to be aquaman to unlock the secrets of whale-kind. Toronto based and aptly named WhalePower (despite there being few whales actually in or even around Toronto) have done it already and proved it to be true. Using some biomimetic teeth on the edge of fan blades, called Tubercle Technology, they’ve created a system thats quieter and more efficient than the traditional smooth kind. Take that whales.

Hi, I'm Raj Patel. Nice to meet you. I'm a writer, photographer, film producer, avid reader, gamer, architect, programmer, artist, community manager, and general nerd.
Here at Ohmpage I try to cover the news and trends at the intersection between technology and culture. In practice this means you get a lot of high-tech, new-media, type of fun stuff (the stuff that interests me) presented to you. I surf hard so you don't have to.
If you would like to contact me, please feel free to email me or follow me on twitter. I'm always happy to talk.

ooh! this is for wind power generation. I don’t know why i didn’t put this together sooner. I wonder what the NIMBYs will think up now that they can’t complain about the sound issues?
I think they’ll claim that windmills are too distracting and plagues their ADHD riddled children.
