The Wind tree uses tiny blades that are housed in the leave units. The blades turn inwards, which enables the units to turn in the wind, regardless of wind direction. Jerome told Microsoft the units respond to wind as low as 2 meters per second. The units are silent, which is a bonus, as other wind turbine technology can be very noisy and unsuitable for urban areas. The Wind tree will be on display in Paris Place de Concorde in May 2015. inhabitat/wind-energy-made-beautiful-with-these-silent-wind-tree-turbines/
