Wind has the edge. It's fast catching up with oil and gas in cost efficiency with the help of experiments such as the one at Ames Research Center. By comparing what they learn from the wind tunnel's smooth airflow with data from the turbulent breezes at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory's test range near Golden, Colorado, engineers expect to build a new generation of superefficient wind turbines with blades well over 200 ft. (60 m) across...
...stuff used in skis and racing cars. Weighing less than half as much as today's models--and more aerodynamically designed--advanced cars will be much more fuel efficient. Current models expend about one-third of their power just cutting through the air. In the future, underbodies will be smooth. Headlights and windshield wipers will fit seamlessly into the body. Tiny video cameras and interior TV monitors will replace side-view mirrors. Better onboard computers will improve everything from engine performance to braking...
