Energy Ball wind turbine captures energy for the home

Filed under:

As much as we prefer a good old-fashioned bird-killin’ three blade wind turbine, apparently they cause a bit too much vibration and disturbance for regular home use. That’s where the Energy Ball comes in, with its spherical shape that captures wind less obtrusively and yet more efficiently. At least that’s what we’re told, we’re a bit short on details. We do know that it’s in the prototype stages and was designed by Swedish company Home Energy, who claims their smallest Energy Ball can supply about 15% of the essential energy to ability the average Swedish home.
