Alpha 311 Turbines

Post by nick_dunn »

Alpha 311 vertical-axis wind turbines are to be mounted to street lighting along the A442 in Telford - apparently a world first. The rush of air from the lanes of traffic will be enough to not only power the street lights but also generate a significant surplus energy. I wonder how common a sight these will become. Article here. Note: the photo is an artist's impression - rollout hasn't started yet.
