Prototype #1






Here are some images of the completed Tree Turbine Prototype #1. The upper branch section spins independently from the bottom trunk. Inside the trunk is a small generator that produces electricity as the branches spin. The power is used to charge a bank of batteries that is located inside the fake rock. The batteries then power several LED landscape lights that illuminate the Tree Turbine and a few surrounding birch trees.
