A really creative Neil Cameron at his site, has created one of the most badass alphabets ever. We are thankful that they don’t teach this one to kids at school. But if they did, just imagine how many PhD’s would come up as experts on Buffy, Edna, Gundam, Hager, Joss and the rest. So without further ado, here are some highlights of the alphabet: A is for Aztecs in Atomic Armour Attacking Anomalous Amphibians B is for Buffy Bravely Battling Beelzebub D is for Doctor Who Defeating Doctor Doom in a Deadly Disco Dance-Off F is for The Fantastic Four saving the Finnish ambassador From Fred Flintstone, who's Flinging Flaming Fajitas at his Ford Fiesta G is for Galactus Geeking out with his Glove puppets of Gundam and Godzilla H is for Hagar the Horrible Hacking Hello Kitty in Half I is for Indiana Jones Inching away from an Inebriated Ironman J is for Joss. Just Joss. The full alphabet is on this page, given as a very good illustration. Technorati Tags: badass alphabet , yet an

Forget about traditional tri-blade wind turbines — the ultra-efficient turbine of the future might look completely different if Kyushu University professor Yuji Ohya has anything to say about it. Ohya and his team recently unveiled the Wind Lens, a honeycomb-like structure that purportedly triples the amount of wind energy that can be produced by offshore turbines. The Wind Lens was unveiled at Yokohama Renewable Energy International Exhibition 2010. The structure works similarly to a magnifying glass that intensifies light from the sun — except in this case, the lens intensifies wind flow. Ohya’s design doesn’t have too many moving parts — just a hoop (AKA a brimmed diffuser) that “magnifies” wind power, and a turbine that is rotated by wind captured from the hoop. Each Lens, which measures 112 meters in diameter, can provide enough energy for an average household. Ohya doesn’t know if the Lens will go into commercial production, but if nothing else, it could provide a more aesthe
