BendiNewsTest: Streetlights powered by solar and wind could be lighting up your neighborhood soon

Hi,

This page is currently being developed. This page checks Sustainability Blogs and RSS News Feeds for new content and posts it to here each day. The aim is to share information related to sustainability which is relevant to people living in Central Victoria while also providing a channel for international sustainability information. I am just discovering the Internets information sharing potential. I'd like to help other not so tech savvy people learn how to find interesting and new Sustainability info. Please tell me your favorite blogs or news sources and I will add them to the list.

Thanks

Streetlights powered by solar and wind could be lighting up your neighborhood soon

The world’s first independently powered street lighting system could be lighting up a neighborhood near you someday soon. Barcelona-based researcher Ramon Bargallo, has developed a 10-meter-high street lamp powered exclusively by wind and solar power. The system took four years to develop and is suitable for roadways, parks, neighborhoods and other public areas. The turbine can run between 10 and 200 revolutions per minute, while putting out up to 400 watts. An electronic control system oversees the flow of energy between the solar panel, the wind turbine and the lighting system.
