Funny Looking Tower Generates 600% More Electrical Energy Than Traditional Wind Turbines

Funny Looking Tower Generates 600% More Electrical Energy Than Traditional Wind Turbines | Peer2Politics | Scoop.it

This funny looking wind tower acts like a funnel, directing the wind from any angle, down through a tube to a ground based turbine generator.

This speeds up the wind turbine mounted inside the narrowest portion and generates electricity.
