Futuristic Wind Turbine Nano-Vent Skin
The nano-vent skin design is perhaps one of the most clever ways to make wind power as accessible and ubiquitous as humanly possible. In short, a system of myriad micro-turbines are woven together into a fabric that can be deployed in virtually any shape and size, curving or bending to the surfaces of buildings, with each tiny turbine generating a small amount of power for a huge net effect. This system can be layered onto existing surfaces thus integrating into urban fabrics without massive construction costs, additional materials or disturbance to current structures. In a way this brings wind power to competitive parity with solar power like never before – just like solar panels can be added to roofs retroactively so to can these wind turbine skins. (Source)
