New Tech Toy Wind Tree

This is a new concept from France, a tree that creates energy from wind.

The tree run silently, and also looks tasteful! "The idea came when we observe the rustling of leaves in calm weather. Energy is taken from the air and converted in watts.
The device uses a small plate in the form of twisted leaves, which convert wind energy into electrical energy. And regardless of the direction of air flow" However, I would not be looking to have one of these bad boys in your back yard. This tree of metal costs about 30 thousand euros.
 

Michaud-Larivière hopes that the “tree” will be used to power street lamps or charging stations for electric vehicles. In the future he plans to improve the installation and connect it to the energy-efficient homes. Perfect “tree” must be  the leaves of natural fibers, “roots” in the form of geothermal generator and a “crust” with photocells.
