When we think about wind energy, the picture of huge wind turbines immediately comes to mind. These superstructures employed to generate wind energy are normally connected with big companies and the industrial field, but things are about to change. With this new technology, composed of a micro turbine, this company may find a way to improve access to wind energy for houses and small stores. Besides its small size, this device is powerful and capable of generating energy with any type of wind, making it the ideal solution for home-generated wind energy.
Similar to a sculpture, this new device may be a huge advancement for wind energy
The search for clean energy is been a major point of attention for energy companies around the world. Besides the necessity to improve the use of green energy in industries, people are also asking for new solutions that can turn their houses into places with electricity generated by green sources. Thinking about it, two types of energy come to mind: wind energy and solar energy, which are still the most popular for houses and buildings. But a new release may change everything.
This new technology was developed by New World Wind, a company focused on green technology. Due to its advanced technology, the turbines do not need a big structure to generate energy, and that could be the necessary change to make wind energy closer to daily life. Indeed, the visual is also pleasant and easy to incorporate into architecture projects.
Adapting wind turbines for homes with a beautiful design
Most of the clean energy solutions applied to houses are solar panels, but with the development of the Aeroleaf, the New World Wind may change this scenery. The Aeroleaf is a micro-turbine shaped as a tree leaf with a vertical elliptical format. Its size is about 105 centimeters tall, being smaller than a traditional wind turbine.
Although its size, Aeroleaf also has differences in its technology. With vertical access and the turbine spinning vertically, the micro-turbine can capture all sorts of wind in different environments. Even breezes can be turned into energy with this turbine, which makes it ideal for urban spaces. Besides not being able to generate big amounts of energy like superstructures used for wind energy offshore, this new micro-turbine can generate the amount of energy necessary to power an electric vehicle.
Installed in groups, these micro-turbines create a technological tree
According to its manufacturer, the Aeroleaf can be installed individually or in groups. Indeed, the expectation is that a small number of micro-turbines are implemented together, forming the shape of a tree. This way, the design is not only functional, but also a decorative piece.
Details provided by the New World Wind show that when deployed together, the micro-turbines are most effective. This way, one Aeroleaf tree is able to power an electric vehicle charging station or even a set of outdoor lights. Another option is to combine wind and solar energy at the same place, by implementing mini solar panels on an Aeroleaf tree.
Advancements in wind energy may help during the transition to green energy
After its release, Aeroleaf trees are being implemented in various countries in the European Union, but the goal is to show the world the benefits of their implementation. Places such as France, Denmark, Andorra, the United Arab Emirates, and the US already have Aeroleaf generating green energy in small places, which can be an example for new initiatives. Meanwhile, other countries are still adapting their technologies for new gigastructures capable of powering an entire industry with wind energy, but for this, they need more than a normal wind turbine.
