Generate Wind Power on your Rooftop

This is an interesting take on generating personal green power.

A bunch of tiny ind turbines are attached to the roof of a house. Vibration and noise are minimized, and you have a small power-plant generating green electricity for you home!

It looks a bit strange in the picture, and the company claims these wind turbines are design to operate “in plain site as an attractive complement to the building’s architecture”. I think I’d prefer a nice out-of-the-way solar system, but these are still a great way to generate some green electricity for your house and save on your bills.

AV developed a small, modular wind turbine system designed for installation on buildings in urban and suburban areas. By eliminating the support tower, reducing noise and vibration, and creating a sleek and adaptable, modular housing that installs quickly and easily onto buildings, without penetrating the roof, AV defines a new category of wind energy systems that adds value to buildings and demonstrates clean energy at work.
