This innovative Wind Tunnel Footbridge designed by Michael Jantzen is not just an ordinary bridge. It is a piece of high quality modern art with a capability to produce natural energy. This modern bridge must be installed at windy places Like parks.

The Wind Tunnel Foot Bridge is a new covered bridge for the 21st century; a design proposal for a new kind of wind activated footbridge made of steel and aluminum. As the wind blows, the five wind turbine wheels turn at different speeds around the people who are walking through to reach the other side. Three of the five wheels turn in one direction while the other two turn in the opposite direction. As the wind driven wheels turn in different directions and at different speeds, they can produce different electronic corresponding sounds. The Wind tunnel Footbridge was designed to be constructed in various types of public venues as an architectural attraction. The wheels also produce and store electrical energy much like a windmill.

"...produce natural energy." Energy can be neither created nor destroyed. This will be kinda cool til it rusts and gets bird shit on all over it.
