Wind turbine for home use

Designer Joe Doucet has created a wind turbine wall that brings wind power to the home. The design concept uses off-the-shelf wind turbine generators set within a 2.4 metre by 7.6 metre frame. Installed vertically, the turbines take up minimal space and are intended to be as inconspicuous and simple to use as possible.

Owners can scale it up or down as needed, with the initial size capable of producing more than 10,000 kilowatt hours per year, a volume of energy that is enough to power a typical family home.

The turbines drive a small generator, with electricity able to be used directly, stored in a battery or sold to the local grid. Depending on an owner’s use, the turbine wall could generate both electricity and income.
