I remember when they discovered that bumpy blades are more efficient, at first they thought it didn't make much sense because of aerodynamics, but then they discovered it was a better way ! :) I think they said something about using this in the design of airplane wings too.
Windmills.That sounds like a great idea.Put one on the roof of your car.The faster you go the more power your car will have.Put one on the roof of your house.Free electricity.Put one on your baseball cap.Power your rollerskates.
I read about that a few years ago, but haven't even heard a whisper about it since. So I don't know if it still is going to happen, which is a shame because it seems like an amazing idea.
