Company Develops Unique Wind Turbine That Features a Tree Shape and Can Generate the Same Amount of Clean Energy as Larger Projects.

The wind turbines are a great source of clean energy, but traditional models have problems, as they are imposing, intrusive structures and do not operate well with just a light breeze. Thus, the French company New Wind produced a wind turbine resembling a tree that operates with weak winds.

Wind Energy Turbine with Microturbines is 9 Meters Tall

The trees that generate clean energy have plastic leaves that silently spin with the breeze, allowing the wind to blow from any direction. While larger industrial turbines, common in wind farms, only operate with winds above 35 km/h, the leaves of this wind turbine capture energy from winds below 8 km/h.

The ‘wind trees,’ as the company refers to them, stand over 9 meters tall and 7 meters wide, boasting a total of 54 green leaf turbines that can generate up to 5.4 kilowatts of energy at a time and generate around 2,400 kWh per year. New Wind estimates that the trees could meet up to half the energy demands of an average French household per year or power a small low-consumption office.

Moreover, the turbines are connected in parallel so that if one stops working for any reason, the others will not be affected. A major advantage of this wind system over solar energy is its space efficiency, as a 5.4 kW solar panel would take up about 131 square meters of roof space, whereas the curved branches of a wind tree could be attached to any balcony or roof.

With their bimorphic leaves, the trees can be installed anywhere. In the middle of a garden, on top of a roof, or even in the middle of a busy city.

Each microturbine of the Wind Tree costs £695 per Aeroleaf for standard versions and £994 per Aeroleaf for hybrid versions. These amounts are equivalent to R$ 3,828.55 and R$ 5,475, respectively, at current exchange rates.

Innovation in the Clean Energy Market

The company is developing a new wind turbine in the shape of a flower, which allows the generation of clean energy without producing any noise, and it is directional. The decibels of this turbine are so low that they are not perceptible to humans.

This detail is essential for the installation of the system in any location, especially in urban areas. Due to its flower shape, the mini wind turbine reduces the risk of collision with birds. Currently, the flower-shaped wind turbines are being marketed in three options that vary in performance and size, depending on the customer’s demand.

The smallest turbine is only one meter long and is ideal for those looking to benefit from clean energy off the grid, such as for camping. The medium model, which is three meters long, is the most frequently purchased by those planning to install a small wind turbine in their homes and small businesses. Produced with fiberglass blades, the wind turbine kit includes a generator, an additional battery, a grid inverter, and a charge controller.

Innovation in the Clean Energy Market

While an average building in London or New York takes three years to be completed, in China a 26-story tower went up in five days with about 100 workers, and the global modular construction market already moves US$ 95 billion per year.

Australia installs giant concrete structures on the seabed 800 meters from the shore to create an ocean intake for desalination that will draw in saltwater and produce 30 million liters of drinking water per day.

Goodbye traditional washing machine: Panasonic surprises housewives with the NA-G5 featuring four drums, a 13 kg washer and dryer, a 12 kg dryer, independent mini washers, a heat pump, and a 4-in-1 system awarded at the German Design Award.

While cities spend fortunes patching potholes and tons of plastic become waste, the Netherlands transforms over 218,000 recycled cups into a modular bike path that can conceal drainage, cables, and pipes.

A public school student single-handedly created a machine capable of treating water for up to 50 people using only solar energy. It was awarded third place at one of the most important science fairs in the world.

While a traditional school may take several days just to raise walls, in Malawi a 3D-printed school had its structure ready in 18 hours, welcomed children in June, and showed a new solution to the lack of classrooms.

Autonomous trucks are already carrying real cargo on Texas highways with no one at the wheel, charging per kilometer like Uber, and accelerating a transformation that could put millions of truck drivers at risk even before autonomous cars dominate the cities.

Shopee chooses Londrina to open a 100,000 m² megacenter in Paraná, in a project that promises to generate 2,000 direct jobs and transform the city into a strategic point for deliveries in the South, São Paulo, and Mato Grosso do Sul.

Chinese technology advances ahead of Neuralink and already allows controlling equipment just by thinking using artificial intelligence.

New São Paulo metro advances with nearly completed station, automatic trains in testing, and promise to reduce travel from 1h30 to 23 minutes.

NOAA monitors a possible rare oceanic phenomenon that could alter global temperatures and affect economies, energy, and transportation in several countries.

Space Station will pass over Brazil and can be seen by residents with the naked eye; the orbital laboratory, which travels at 28,000 km/h and orbits the Earth 16 times a day, will cross the sky in a few minutes during the early morning.

The world’s rivers are silently losing oxygen, and a study of more than 21,000 river systems reveals that nearly 80% are already in constant decline, an invisible collapse that threatens fish, biodiversity, and freshwater as global warming accelerates the suffocation of flowing water ecosystems.

Japan is rearming and the world should be concerned: the country doubles military spending, installs missiles 110 km from Taiwan, discusses nuclear weapons, and could create one of the largest military budgets on the planet.
