a take-it-home wind power generator...

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.
