A modern wind-powered machine inspired by Persian wind catchers is to warranty a high quality wind electricity generating system. Windation Energy Systems, a California-based company, says that their wind appliance resembles more or less like the modern heating and cooling equipment. Mark Sheikhrezai, CEO and founder of Windation, explains that there is a 8-by-8-foot frame around a 10-foot-high cylinder. Wind blows in the top, directed to the bottom and turns a turbine to make up to 5 kilowatts of electricity. A single unit wouldn't be capable of generating enough power for an entire office building but could develop a significant portion. Sheikhrezai, who was born in Iran, got the idea for his invention from Ancient Persian buildings, which were constructed in such a manner that they use wind currents and water reservoirs to cool inside the building. The device which generates green energy from wind for buildings lowers per kW cost. I'll take one for my place.
