Engineering can save lives by simply helping people solve problems that they encounter every day. In urban areas you will find a lot of buildings and obstacles, which force the wind to travel in a chaotic way. Usually you find wind turbines in areas where there are large open spaces. The O Wind Turbine is a great idea for urban areas, because it turns regardless of the wind direction.
This omnidirectional turbine allows wind energy to be harvest, no matter which way the wind is blowing. Now, even those who are living in apartments or condos will be able to generate their own energy. The design is also very simple, and this ensures that the manufacturing process is easy and affordable too. They are going to build them using sustainable materials, making it reliable for many years.
Presently, they are working on improving the design and identifying materials that can be used to actually build the turbine. In this stage of development, they are also going to establish the size of the turbine. The inventors won the 2018 James Dyson Award, and this has provided them with a structure they can pursue as well as validation. With the award in hand, attracting investors is also going to be easier for them going forward.
