This show covered the Vancouver Chinatown <a href="http://tinyurl.com/38cp9h">Festival</a>.<br /><br />Tasha is holding the <a href="http://tinyurl.com/lo9kz">Roadshow's</a> model wind turbine which generates electricity to power the attached <a href="http://tinyurl.com/s87h8">model electric car</a> at a wind speed of only 5kph --- whereas most other windmills require wind speeds of 16kph or more.<br /><br />This is the first time this style of wind turbine has been shown on Canadian TV. Also, its three 'bent-propeller' blades do the work of six blades and change shape with as RPM changes. The efficiency of this wind turbine is greater than 35 percent.<br /><br />Two students from <a href="http://www.silbury.ca/">Silbury School &amp; Resource Centre</a> helped Tasha demonstrate how to build a model <a href="http://tinyurl.com/7kcfj">solar-powered car</a> for the festival. Tasha said, several times, that these students were "bright kids" and knew what do to. One Silbury student explained that the lack of sunlight wasn't a problem with solar power because he <a href="http://www.geocities.com/solarpowerroadshow/Did_The_Impossibles.html">revived alkaline batteries</a> with solar power when the sky was so dim that planes weren't allowed to land at the airport. (That <a href="http://www.geocities.com/solarpowerroadshow/Silbury_Batt_Workshop.html">battery-revival workshop</a> for Silbury School was documented and aired on TV by Channel-M.)<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">Click on any photo to zoom in.</span><br /><br />.<br /><br /></span><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><span style=";font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;" >.</span><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;"> <span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" >Questions?
