energy generation

solar energy

Solar energy is harnessed through solar tracking glass collectors on the top of the towers. some of the solar collectors are also embedded into the panels in the sidewalk.

wind energy

Wind energy will be harnessed through the use of wind sails, two on each tower. These sails are open on one end, and capture the wind, rotating. The energy from rotation is converted to electric power.

The idea came from the Wind Dam Project, where a huge sail is hung above a lake to capture wind and drive it through a turbine to act as a windmill.

piezoelectric power

energy is generated by the use of piezoelectric fl oor panels, such as those devel-oped by POWERleap. as pedestrians walk on the panels, kinetic energy from the motion is harnessed.
