Why we should make freeway sound wall
Currently, the sound wall that line our freeway and highways are vertical. It makes sense as that is how you build a wall, but I would suggest a different shape, one which can catch more airflow, noise and vibrational energy. This energy should be reused and recycled. Yes, this is an intriguing concept and thought, and hence I would like to describe what I have in mind, that is if you have a few moments. It appears to me that the sound walls should be candy cane shaped with the curve facing inward towards the traffic. As cars zoom along, it will catch the wind and flow it through that curve or a tube like structure. Along with it, we can put wind turbine blades adhering to a decibel level chart accumulating all the energy. Moreover, the candy cane shape would assist to collect the vibrational energy using a plan inspired by nature, namely seashell. Sea creatures can hear and feel vibrations and sounds from far away as all the sound or noise is emphasized within the shell. ...
