This very cool animation is part infographic, part astronomy lesson, part ambient background noise generator. In any case, it's very cool and informative, and I love IT!! Each planet makes a different chime as a year passes. Please visit the original at White Vinyl Design to get the full legend and planetary year counter..

Mile-High Mega Kites Could Pull Giant, Floating Power Plants
Finally my dream job, commercializing two things I'm passionate about, Wind Energy and Kiteboarding.
Take a huge oceanic catamaran, stick a hydroelectric turbine underneath it, and hitch it to a 6.5 million-square-foot parafoil flying nearly a mile in the air. That’s a Korean research team’s new proposal for generating gigawatts of clean energy.
As the parafoil pulls the boat, seawater would be forced through the turbine, which generates electricity. The 800 megawatts of electricity produced would separate seawater into hydrogen and oxygen by electrolysis, and the hydrogen would then be stored on-board the ships.
I sure hope that 720,000 meter foil is water relaunchable!!!
