Turning traffic into clean energy: How this startup plans to power the streets of Istanbul

        July 25, 2021 euronews | Istanbul | renewables: wind

A roadside VAWT on an Instanbul highway captures air from passing vehicles and is topped with a solar panel to boot. A single vertical-axis device generates 1 kilowatt of energy per hour (1 kWh of power), enough for 2 homes. Named ENLIL for a Mesopotamian god of the wind, the device doubles as a smart sensor to track temperature, humidity, and carbon.
