The Flower Turbines company created wind tulips that adapt to the needs of the territory and help solve various problems, which change the way of producing renewable energy in large cities.
[post_relacionado]Resembling an artistic intervention of flowers in a variety of colors and sizes (one, three and six meters tall for small-scale installations), the tulip-shaped turbines are designed to do double duty as eco-art on rooftops. homes, shopping centers, schools and skyscrapers.
One of the key technologies is the cluster effect. Normally wind turbines need to be spaced apart because they interfere with each other, but these flower turbines make their neighboring flowers produce 20-50% more electricity than when they stand alone.
According to the company, the turbines do not represent any danger to birds and other wild animals, mainly in urban environments. The noise they generate is low frequency and undetectable to humans.
Flower Turbines has locations in the United States and the Netherlands. In addition, it has managed to reach territories such as Rotterdam, Amsterdam and some parts of Germany. It also advances in the expansion towards Israel and Colombia. The company aims to democratize green energy for all and make small wind farms a leading player in the green energy industry.
The main challenges facing the new wind flower technology in the generation of renewable energy are focused on educating people, organizations and residential units to choose this type of alternative that in turn does not compete with solar energy, but rather complement.
