the Wind-Cube designed by Liao Hsun Chen and Wen Chih Chang of National Taiwan University of Science and Technology. Wind
Cube is a modularized wind power system for cities. The concept uses
three-dimensional wind fields to make up for the insufficiency of
two-dimensional ones. Each Wind Cube unit can automatically creates a
circuit with the power it generates. The power can be directly
provided to families for the purpose of saving energy and reducing
carbon use.

The
way these “cubes” work is to be attached to a wall (outside) with
three screws, click the switch to activate, and sit back to enjoy the
power your mother earth is providing. Multiple cubes can be connected
to not only generate more power, but strengthen their collective
structure, and the fans can be pulled out or pushed back and away
depending on the weather.
