Maker Workshop – Wind Power Generator on MAKE: television
Taking a motor from an old exercise treadmill and some PVC pipe, John Park constructs a wind-powered generator. The electrical power may not be enough to get your home off the grid, but the great thing about the project is how it explains in simple terms the technology involved in turning wind into free electricity.

City of Corona Turns Bus Shelter into a Mini Power Plant
City of Corona today unveiled to the public its newly installed solar bus shelter providing comfort to its public transportation customers while being capable of generating clean, renewable energy through a roof ornamented with highly efficient solar panels. The installation marked the first grid-connected solar system for bus shelters.
The new bus shelter was designed and installed by Solade Concepts based in Corona, CA. The solar structure consists of products and solutions proposed by Go Green Solar, based in Los Angeles, CA, which include six SANYO HIT-210NKHA6 210-watt HIT Power® solar panels with six Enphase Energy M210-84-240-S12 micro inverters and a LED lighting solution in an on-grid solar system.
In major U.S. cities, bus stops can be found as often as every 650 to 950 feet, and often cities offer transit customers a sheltered waiting area that can vary in design and features. While solar powered bus shelters are not a new concept, the typical installation usually pairs the system to a battery that will store energy on site to provide the power needed to light the shelter at night.
