Traditionally wind turbines have the image of being tall, ungainly and an obstruction rather than an asset to the existing structures. But modern engineering has made sure that it is going to change all that and do it with both style and simplicity. Wind turbines that are now going to make their way on top of most structures across the world are going to change the convention forever. The amazing fact is that they not only are going to produce renewable clean energy but are also going to add to the design and the charm of the structure.
Aerovironment is an engineering company, which has developed ‘architectural wind’ a small modular wind turbine system. The unique system makes wind power a viable option for urban centres, because it doesn’t require a massive tower. The wind turbines are sleek and low profile so they can be perfectly integrated into new or existing buildings. The design is meant to be shown off, rather than hidden away on the roof. No longer are turbines something to hide away are structures to be installed far away from the city in some open field.
The new green structures ensure that wind energy is used in a more regular fashion and is available for the use of many more than that are already using it. Such innovative merger of engineering and architecture ensures that renewable energy makes its way more rapidly in to our lives.
