If you're interested in ecology and power saving, you might be interested in this interesting concept called Wind Cubes that can power a household for a month with simple wind power. Wind Cubes look and work in a similar way as windmills and all that you have to do is to attach them to your wall and connect them to the battery that will store their power.

These Wind Cubes look perfect and array of 15 of these fans can easily power a household of four for a month. One of these fans can potentially generate 21.6 kilowatt-hours per and 15 of them can produce up to 324 kilowatt-hours per month so we have to admit that these Wind Cubes sound quite impressive. These Wind Cubes look amazing, and the best thing about them is that you can turn them off, or put them back in their case in case of a bad weather and pull them back out when the wind is appropriate.

Designers Liao-Hsun Chen and Wen-Chih Chang did a wonderful job with this design, and we're hoping that Wind Cubes will become a real deal someday.

Most people may not even remember Sega Dreamcast, but the Dreamcast is far from over, at least that's what some developers, such as Redspot Games think. In fact, Redspot Games is developing a game for Sega Dreamcast at this very moment, so we decided to investigate a bit.

The news about the upcoming Dreamcast game called Sturmwind is confirmed and according to the German developer, this game should be a classic arcade shoot-em-up game. So far we don't know why is this developer developing a game for a console that has been discontinued for almost 10 years, but this is definitely an interesting project. In addition, this is not some homebrew project, Redspot Games is a serious developer, but we think that their upcoming game won't get much attention now when there are other major consoles on the market.

Anyhow, if you're interested in this game, it available for pre-order from Redspot and it will cost you 46$.
