Re: From Windmills to Windstalks by Gina Van Mackelbergh

I was astounded when I saw this blog post today. The use in park is fantastic. Sounds Gattaka-like (or any other sci-fi movie you can think of). I also thought that this can be used for large buildings with large roof surface. This can apply to warehouses for example. The question of course is how heavy are these things, but they don’t look like they are too heavy. Putting these “windstalks” on the roofs will help save space and energy at the same time. Firms even could rent out their roofs to put these things for someone else to use. It is also possible to put these stalks for street lamp poles. It would wobble and generate energy to light up that lamp… Of course it all boils down to the cost benefit, but Gina’s right – this gets you pretty exited!
