You can be the talk of your neighborhood with this thing on your roof, as it actually provides energy to your home and saves up to 80% of your electric bill every month. Sniffs Starck:

“Imagine a Saturday afternoon, and a guy going stupidly to the supermarket to buy a useless gadget,” Mr. Starck said. “He sees a really sexy object. ‘Oh my God, it’s beautiful. How much does it cost? Five hundred euros? That’s almost what I’d spend on a useless gadget.’ He brings the windmill home, goes to his roof, and 15 minutes later he sees it turning and producing energy. Wow!”

These turbines come in stainless steel, bright orange or a transparent plastic that will be almost invisible on your roof.
