WTF Bridge
No seriously, it's a WTF bridge. I swear to GOD it's a WTF bridge; a Wind Tunnel Footbridge.
The bridge is the brainchild of Michael Jantzen. He envisions them built at various types of public venues as an architectural attraction, but what exactly does it do?
The wind activated bridge is made of steel and aluminum. As the wind blows, five wind turbine wheels spin as YOU walk across the bridge. As you pass thru, you'll be able to hear different sounds from the wind encircling you. They can even be attached to generators to store electrical energy.
No word on the remote possibility of people getting caught in that vortex. It looks scary but I would soooo be the first person to walk across if they build it.
