Everything’s looking pretty normal in Thistledown today.

Something very strange happened yesterday on the @nerdcrafteria server....

A beautiful pride garden in Mineworld! /warp love to get there. Happy pride month <3

Loving the new mineworld and its new purple blocks. But @elysha1995, there are no ocean temples this month!! (I think) Sea lanterns are going to be at a premium..

May’s mineworld was amazing. Here are some of the homes I spotted flying around the map. More to come!

NERDCRAFTERS!

At the beginning of this month's mineworld, I found a beautiful savannah area right at the edge of the map, with a floating island and a moat with it's own island and lots of horses. I made a waterfall, started a little house and was really hoping someone else would discover it.

Now it's near the end of the month, I am still the only one in the savannah and it's still mostly untouched! My house never materialised.. So for the last week, I have lit the whole area and it's open to all if you to build and celebrate this month's mineworld.

Go to /warp temple and have a look.

Normal rules apply (please don't grief), but if possible, also make it easy for others to build next to you or attached to your build. It would be awesome to have a hodgepodge castle or something from everyone's contributions.

Two other requests 1. Don't use any blocks that are too expensive. You place them at your own risk! 2. Don't fill in the moat. Bridges are much more cool and I am in love with the moat... Have fun! (PS.. Er I hope it’s OK to do this mods - let me know if not)

Bladeless wind turbines generate electricity by shaking, not spinning

Scientists hope to hugely reduce the cost of wind energy by removing the blades from wind farms, instead taking advantage of a special phenomenon to cause the turbines to violently shake.

Vortex, a startup from Spain, has developed the tall sticks known as Bladeless — white poles jutting out of the ground, that are built so that they can oscillate. They do so as a result of the way that the wind is whipped up around them, using a phenomenon that architects avoid happening to buildings and encouraging it so that the sticks shake.

They do so using vortices, which is where the company gets its name from. The bladeless turbines use special magnets to ensure that the turbines are optimised to shake the most they can, whatever speed the wind is travelling at.

As the sticks vibrate, that movement is converted into electricity by an alternator.

These also look like they would cause fewer problems for birds and bats.

This is really cool.

They leave off the important note that when the wind rises, each pole makes a sound like a hundred vuvuzelas roaring at once. In the post-apocalyptic world of the future, villagers will speak in hushed tones about the Roaring Plains, and caution adventurous travelers to stay well away.
