Abstract: An apparatus (10) for generating electrical power from wind energy (20) comprising: means (22) for forming at least two discrete jets of air (24) from an oncoming wind (20); a conduit (16); and at least one wind electricity turbine (14) located within the conduit (16), wherein the jets (24) are arranged to enter the interior of the conduit (16) from different directions and to converge towards a point or points (20) located within the conduit (16).

Abstract: An Ergonomic Bed/Slipper-Sock (EBSS) combines a sock component with a sole component that may be shock-absorbing, integrated medium-density, highly flexible and slip-resistant. The sock component can be integrated (pre-vulcanized) with inserts to prevent the twisting or turning of the EBSS when worn on a foot of a user. The sole component may ergonomically conform to the anatomy of the foot and be fabricated from a variety of materials.
