Incorporating a vertical axis wind turbine the team has come up with the brilliant idea to power highway lighting with the wind generated by passing cars and also the kinetic energy from the natural winds.
Dubbed the Turbine Light this new take on the age old street light could dramatically reduce energy consumption around the world.
When new ideas utilizing the power of wind are brought to the table it makes one think what else around the home could be modified to incorporate a wind turbine?
