One man’s dream: a tornado machine

A tornado generates huge amounts of energy.

You’ve heard of wind and solar. But what about harnessing other forces of nature for energy? That’s Louis Michaud’s idea.

Michaud worked an engineer in the petroleum industry, but on the side, he nurtured a radical green energy idea, a new renewable energy source he thinks could cover all of our power needs.

The Adaptors — a project of SoundVision Productions and The Atlantic — went to Sarnia, Ontario for a look.
