Wind Turbines look like trees... inhabitat/wind-energy-made-beautiful-with-these-…- turbines/ tinyurl/opsep5d Three years of research have led a team of French engineers to produce their interpretation of wind energy for urban locations. The Wind Tree stands at 26 feet tall, and its branches adorn the Pleumeur-Bodou commune in Brittany in northwestern France. Hit the jump to learn more about this new breed of silent wind turbine that turns energy production into an art form. Jérôme Michaud-Larivière, the founder of the company New Wind, says that ³The idea came to me in a square where I saw the leaves tremble when there was not a breath of air.² He went on to hypothesize that the energy ³had to come from somewhere and be translatable into watts.² Other turbine ideas have hit the headlines, but the wind tree is the first that fully integrates form and function rather than being an add on. The Wind tree will be on display in Paris Place de Concorde in May 2015.
