Люди входят в новый этап своего развития и are mastering clean energy sources. The most accessible to everyone is wind. We present you with 5 of the most impressive buildings with built-in wind generators What could be better than living in a utopian world where there is no war, disease and air pollution? At least one of these problems can already be solved by transferring all human production to clean energy sources. And the most promising project for obtaining electricity for both industry and private consumption is a wind generator. It may seem that wind energy is a new science, but already in ancient times our ancestors used the wind in their economic activities. The blades of a wind generator work on the principle of a familiar mill, but the filling is different: a rotor, a generator, a controller, batteries and an inverter.
If the wind force is sufficient, then the convertedthe current goes directly to the consumer, and in case of calm, batteries come into play, which will provide the building with energy even in complete calm. When the wind rises again, then, as in a regular car, the batteries will be recharged by generators and will be able to cover the need for electricity for the period of windless weather. Today, it has become popular to install wind generators on the facades and roofs of buildings. This trend is associated with the growing "green" trend in modern society. After all, what could be better than receiving clean energy that does not harm the environment at all and at the same time fully meets all the needs for electricity? There are a variety of models - from small (for cottages) to huge devices mounted in skyscrapers. We will consider the most impressive buildings in which this innovative technology was used.
1. Strata Tower
This is the world's first skyscraper, in the designwhich had wind turbines built in. The black and silver giant has caused controversy over its design. For example, the anti-award The Carbuncle Cup was given to it with the comment that it was a giant electric razor in south London. But be that as it may, the scale of this structure cannot fail to impress, and the use of advanced technology (in particular, wind energy) makes it worth attention.
2. Bahrain World Trade Center
Beautiful twin towers designed in the shape ofsails, rise above the ground by 240 m (or 50 floors). Hundreds of apartments, a parking lot for 1,700 cars, 26 elevators (4 of which are panoramic) - all this is powered by wind generators installed on the bridges between the towers. The diameter of individual blades is 29 m, advanced technology allows them to work almost silently. It is a pity that their capacity is not enough to fully provide the building with electricity, but even 15% is not a small contribution to the preservation of nature.
3. BedZED
BedZED is not just a house, but a wholeeco-complex, which can be called a paradise for all participants of the Green Peace movement on our planet. The building and the entire area around it are designed in such a way as to minimize or completely eliminate the negative impact on the environment. 1500 sq. m of offices and 99 residential apartments are inhabited by people with innovative views on the use of clean energy. The architects equipped the complex not only with wind generators, but also with solar panels.
4. COR
400-meter condominium project in Miami,equipped not only with wind turbines, but also with photovoltaic and solar panels, is simply mesmerizing. The rounded shapes of the windows and the eco-skeleton of the building will allow the thermal masses to be redirected so that the interior space is naturally cooled in the heat. Upon completion of the construction, the developers will seek LEED Platinum certification, as they believe that their building meets all modern standards for the use of clean energy.
5. Rotating Tower
If you haven't heard about this project yet,Let me introduce you: here is the development of the world's first rotating skyscraper in Dubai. Thanks to the unique design, the interfloor ceilings will be able to rotate around the central axis. Thus, the owners of apartments in this tower will be able to have breakfast watching the sunrise and have dinner admiring the sunset. But the most important thing is that inside the building, between the floors, it is planned to place 48 silent wind turbines, which, according to the architects, will produce 10 times more energy than the building requires. It remains to be hoped that such a miracle of modern architecture will soon appear and become an example of the use of clean energy.
