• Flower Power to actually generate Power with wind and sun

    I have not been really impressed with this particular creation, for a basic reason that it is nothing new. Artist David Edwards designed the Power Flower to fuel interest in wind and solar energy. His intention was the usual but I guess his design is something that is yet slightly different from all the other power generators in the world. Standing 14-foot-tall, made of aluminum is this sunflower sculpture that produces electricity with its solar panel covered leaves and petal powered wind turbine. This power is stored in batteries and can be used to charge a cell phone or even a laptop easily.


    Some part of the power generated this way is even used to light up the LED bulbs around the sculpture at night.
