Study Nature, Love Nature, Stay close to Nature... It will never fail you. - Frank Lloyd Wright

The Aerogenerator




The Aerogenerator is a Grimshaw design for a new source of off shore energy creation inspired by the forms of sycamore seeds and beach pebbles. The device is designed to float (anchored) sso that it can be positioned far out into the sea, to receive the most powerful of sea winds. 'Each rotor arm is the same length as the Eiffel Tower is high. The output would exceed that of any conventional turbine constructed to date.'
