Wind-Powered Knitting Machine

Being an avid knitter i find the subject of this post to be very interesting. Young Dutch designer Merel Karhof of the Royal College of Arts in the UK developed the machine in order to find a way to harness wind energy and put it to use. She created the Wind Knitting Factory which makes scarves by the use of wind energy. "With the power of wind, a knitting machine knits from the outside towards the inside of a building. The knitted material is harvested from time to time and rounded-off in individually packaged scarves. Each scarf has its own label which tells you in how much time it has been knitted and on which date." From the looks of the video it seems like it can knit a pretty long scarf in under 20 minutes.
