there is a better one but can't post the link it's in NibiruMagick2012 youtube home page under new wind power turbine can triple... well worth a look. The guy himself is another story.

[mikecat23]

Look up.. Nuovi impianti eolici FloDesign Wind Turbine ..under youtube

[mikecat23]

have to say his vacuum cleaner idea was brill. He for the great man that he is missed a great idea with his (or was it) fan. Look at the new wind power generators.They can generate at least twice the power of the old propelled ones by putting an similar type ring around them. He missed the true winner with the bladeless fan

[mikecat23]

Oh I just noticed it was in the 1800's

[mikecat23]

This video has to be the most upsetting ones I have seen on youtube. A bullshit idea winning an award by this guy whom I think is great.

[mikecat23]

I think it's a nothing invention and I'm one that believes in science big time. The system has to pump the water through the system. What is the cost to run this. Even if using solar how much will it cost? Food has to be way cheaper . Grow it where it grows naturally and in that part of the world live off it. This notion about us needing every type of food around is mad.

[mikecat23]

I'd like to see more about this . I think by the size of it it would amount to nothing . What is the cost of an up scaled version?

[SuperLordJesusChrist]

Excellent! :)

[chuck7667]

awesome way to go.

[boxpilot]

i'm sure ALL the entries weren't very worthwhile

[Deadnature]

anyone notice the phallic resemblance of the airdrop.

nevertheless, kudos for him!

[PSPhacking2009]

wow that is awesome

[Dallas8844]

Be interesting to see how well it does. The cost per unit would have to be mighty low for it to be useful.

[tri400]

can Sir Dyson please put Airdrop into production!

[MrDrogosan]

Amazing work

[elmergamez]

Amazing invention I am waiting for the test how much water can get to start to make numbers about farming, agriculture, and rural living nice

[KungFuMil]

£10,000......this prize is really meant for less developed countries.

[cannoir]

interesting but still useless because its not ecomically viable. Bin the shit.

[YdOuUmRb]

@cannoir Someone's buttfrustrated an Aus won the award. This idea is perfectly fine, the materials and labor cost to implement the item are within a budget any farmer has. And with the growth of population, the increase of food needs rises. It would only make sense to give the award to someone who was thinking for a greater cause, rather than a short term fix.

[DaddyFabalus]

@cannoir obvious troll is obvious

[sdharari]

This bloke is some sort of genius. Tip of the hat to you Edward Linacre!

[Yallniggasbetrollin]

This could solve the drought problem

This is amazing.

[willmander]

The innovations that come out of this competition are just amazing!
