Jellyfish Plug-in Windpower
Back on January 26, 2009, I posted about Chad Maglaque’s plug-in windpower device. He calls it the Jellyfish. It is his entry to Google’s Project 10 to 100th. The project is a call for ideas, with the potential to change the world, by helping as many people as possible.
It is Maglaque’s hope that the Jellyfish becomes as affordable and acsessable to the world of renewable energy, as PC’s have become to the computer industry. He entered the Jellyfish in the Google contest, to be able to obtain funding necessary for safety testing and certification.
To date, Google has received more than 150,000 enteries, representing 25 different languages worldwide. It has taken longer than anticipated to review all those entries, and narrow the field. Be sure to Sign Up to Be Automatically Notified By Google When Voting Opens!
Google will award $10 million amongst five innovative ideas that are capable of changing the world. Maglaque’s You-tube entry is one of the most watched projects entered in the contest.
Clarian Technologies, a research and development firm, focuses on developing technologies that help energy and transportation organizations. Their goal is to help these organizations benefit and profit from the latest advances in energy related technology and information. They have committed to helping Mr. Maglaque bring the Jellyfish Wind Appliance to market sometime in 2010.

Best of luck to Chad Maglaque, and Special Thanks to Clarian Technologies. They are definetly working toward many better tomorrows!
See where the cutest ladybugs live!
