Colorful Revolution For Wind Power

Colorful Revolution For Wind Power

By Piers Fawkes on April 23, 2006

quietrevolution is a vertical-axis wind turbine that has been designed and developed by XCO2, a low-carbon energy consultancy and engineering practice. What’s smart is that XCO2 has designed the wings of the turbines so that images appear in the sky.

Virtually silent and vibration free, quietrevolution is ideally suited to both urban sites and exposed locations. quietrevolution is also available in a unique model capable of creating a striking visual display that is part illuminated billboard, part artwork, part renewable energy device.

Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) embedded in each of its three S-shaped blades fire in sequence as the blades rotate, painting a video screen that appears to hang in the air. This full colour and motion image is clearly visible day and night.
