THE VERTICAL WIND FARM
A wind farm conceived by 1st year students of the Phelma engineering school (school of Physics-Electronics-Materials) as a group project based around a device patented by Rudolf Kalmann. This device allows for a quick and simple installation of energy production up to 2Kw. Wind sails are made of the same material as paragliders. Wouldn’t this be a great way to recycle canopies? (see the Icare Mômes space).
