Wind turbines on the wall.

Wind power has played a key role in helping national grids around the world reduce reliance on fossil fuels for power generation, but on-wall wind turbines for the home have seen very slow uptake due, in part , to its intrusive physicality.

New York designer and entrepreneur Joe Doucet has designed Wind Turbine Wall, a project that combines art and technology in a novel solution that aims to power our homes . Designed to be as aesthetically pleasing as it is functional, this “kinetic wall” is made up of a series of rotating blades that rotate individually, driving a mini generator that generates electricity. The ele   Caseno Email List   ctricity is used in the home or business, can be stored in a wall-mounted battery or even fed back into the national grid to generate income for the owner.



The turbine blades can have different designs and thus create the desired artistic impression. In its current version, the wall is made up of standard wind turbine generators: the central part of the blades rotates. These are attached to vertical rods with square panels attached to the sides. At the moment, the wall is meters high and meters wide, but the design can be adjusted according to the user's needs.

According to the designer, the discrete wall of wind turbines can hide in plain sight and produce more than , kilowatt-hours per year, enough to power an American home.

Doucet envisions an aluminum structure, which can then be covered with any light material. The designer has also said that he is in talks with manufacturers who could see the product released to the market sooner than expected. An ingenious project that could be an ecological answer when it is impossible to implement a traditional wind turbine.
