Turbinomic and Heavy Equipment for Sale

This is an innovative design by Oklahoma architect Rand Elliott for an oddly-shaped tower incorporating wind turbines.

For heavy equipment for sale, go to MSloane Consulting.

Turbinomic is designed to make the most of wind turbulence around it, by allowing the wind to drive circular belt turbines incorporated into the building's skin.

These turbines are placed horizontally between each floor to generate power for the structure. They are independent and can be activated by wind from any direction.

Elliott calls it 'architecture that works, rather than being static and energy absorbing/consuming'.
