Deep dives
Innovative Urban Wind Turbines
A new type of wind turbine developed by OInnovations stands out for its capability to harness wind energy in challenging urban environments. Unlike traditional turbines that rely solely on horizontal wind, this design captures winds from all directions—horizontal, vertical, and diagonal—thanks to its 3D omnidirectional technology. This ability to adapt to unpredictable urban wind patterns allows it to utilize high-energy potential spots in cities, where wind speeds can be significantly accelerated due to buildings and structures. By capturing more energy from chaotic wind, this turbine promises a solution for renewable energy generation in densely populated areas.
