Wind Turbine Wall
Art powering our homes
How does it work?
Designed to be as aesthetically pleasing as it is functional, this "kinetic wall" is made up of an array of rotary blades that spin individually, driving a mini generator that creates electricity. The electricity is utilised in the home or business, can be stored in a wall-mounted battery, or can even be fed back into the national grid to provide revenue for the owner.
Why is it needed?
Wind energy has played a key role in helping national grids around the world reduce dependence on fossil fuels to generate energy, but wind turbines for the home have encountered very slow uptake due, in part, to their intrusive physicality.
How does it improve life?
It powers homes with clean, sustainable energy.
