Wind Lens: A Futuristic Approach For Wind Power Coming from Japan

Wind Lens: A Futuristic Approach For Wind Power Coming from Japan

An innovation in the field of wind power comes from Yokohama’s Renewable Energy International Exhibition 2010, through the form of a so-called “Wind Lens”. Developed by professor Yuji Ohya, the 112-meter in diameter turbine acts just like a magnifying glass, focusing the wind’s power to the center of the hoop.
