Wind is the oldest of the elements that man has successfully harnessed to his benefit. Hundreds of years later, innovation is overwhelming the transportation world and wind is seizing its place back on the podium of the most efficient--and cleanest--energy sources.
From sea to earth, novel concepts are emerging to satisfy our undying thirst for exploration and adventure. Science and creativity manifest in these designs and gracefully blow the winds of change.
Implications - Energy-efficient designs and innovations are becoming increasingly important as many people are putting forth an effort to educate themselves about the deteriorating state of the environment. The world of transportation is being overcome with modes of transport that use natural elements rather than environmentally harmful fuel.
