I think beer cans would work better. I could work in the can emptying department.

Western governments do not want to go green. They want us to be depedent on oil, so we have to rely on them for energy. That's the facts, Jack!

- Unfortunately, the government discourages this sort of thing through regulations. You will never see them actively being involved in such endeavors.

"You will never see them actively being involved in such endeavors."
Um, our government is getting involved with green energy companies mostly through tax payer-financed loans. I'm sorry to hear western governments discourage this through regulations but not here in the US. The thing here is there's not a sizable market for some green energy products.

A lot of these schemes seem very attractive if you live in California. However, if you live in Wisconsin—or Alaska—the scheme is 100% useless.
Ironically, tree huggers seem happily oblivious to the idea that the place where you most NEED to save energy is the place where these schemes are LEAST effective.
For those of you who have never been north of the 50th parallel, the sun during the winter months is at a highly acute angle to the earth. It's not unusual for the sun to rise above More..

@GoryGory While I agree with u, i think its still a step in the right direction, and could lead to a bigger and better invention. I think they still deserve kudos for their efforts, intentions, and cause! They may not have won the gold medal but they certainly contributed to moving in the right direction.

By this man's accent, I'm guessing he's from eastern Canada where they have the same climate as Wisconsin & upstate NY. At least they see the sun in the winter. In the pacific northwest, the clouds roll in mid November and we don't see the sun until the middle of April. I'm waiting for they day when they invent sunlight that runs on rain water.

@GoryGory I'm on solar and wind in N. Idaho. Interesting device but we rarely see the sun during the winter and I doubt there would be enough radiant energy through the clouds to do much.

@GoryGory Last time I checked California is much more populated than Wisconsin, so it's still a win for the State even if what you say is true. There are plenty of other options for people up north.

Human based innovation and ingenuity, it is a beautiful sight to behold. however, it somewhat disgusting to think of the inadequacy of our government to stop the rampant pollution of fossil- fuel emissions. What this one man has done with cans, the United states energy department is unwilling to implement with a budget of millions. But of course energy companies don't have a monetary incentive in lowering the bills of the average American, how unfortunate.

Wouldn't be cheaper if he bought aluminium tubing made with recycled cans and save all that time and effort, and waste? It would have the same 'green' claim without all the effort.

@Mark Burningham who's going to make the aluminum cans into aluminum tubes?..who's going to pay for it all?... and haven't they already just created tubes?

@johnmar1
Recycled aluminum is made into usable raw material. There are companies already making aluminum tubing from recycled aluminum.
I'm not talking about setting up a recycling facility, I'm suggesting that they take advantage of facilities already in existence. i.e. Buy aluminum tubing made with recycled material.

@Mark Burningham It's much easier and workable to use cans... when you get going it takes actually only a few hours to build one and to cost of buying the tubes would be too expensive PLUS you would need to modify them to get the swirling effect to slow the warm air down. the bottom of each can is drilled out a large hole and the top is smaller and clipped to make a fan-like area to move the air slower.

@Mark Burningham your right.. but you have to pay them to do it for you.. in this case he's already doing it for "free" if it ain't broke don't fix it.. also why would he want to spend the money when he can do it for free?

This is where innovation for better energy should come from- the private sector & every day people, NOT government agencies with an agenda & ex-vice president control freak weirdos. Brilliant idea, we need more minds like his.
