In the future the wind turbine will become ubiquitous.
Making one that is desirable yet effective is the challenge.
The UK goal to reduce 60% of emissions by 2050 can start with the populous rather than the political.
A personal wind turbine that is easy to install, affordable, efficient and aesthetic will be a step towards manufacturing consent in proto-green consumers.
The project uses lightweight structures and membranes to create a vertical axis wind turbine that can generate revolutionary power.
