New York Subway Vent Animals
New York Subway Vent Animals [video]
Vents in New York sidewalks blow gusts of air up to street level each time a subway train goes past. So if you attached an inflatable animal to the vent it would stand up with each gust. Watch it - it will make sense.

Glad to see I'm not the only one who got really depressed whenever I saw them deflate. It's like they died. But then... They're alive again. No!!! Zombie inflatable things!! Get the boomsticks!!

These are great! But...

Why can't NYC and other places with this type of subway exhaust use it? Put up some vertical, internal bladed windmills and harvest all that free energy? At least power a few street lights!

these are great! unfortunately you know it is only a matter of time before it is used as an advertising ploy and it will ruin all the fun...i can see Pfizer using these to push Viagra all over NYC!

I don't know...that's a lot of windmills...It'd probably cost more to maintain them then use them.
