\nDesigned for Site #2 in Abu Dhabi, between Saadiyat Island and Yas Island.<\/p>\n


\nDesign Submission for the 2010 Land Art Generator Initiative Design Competition<\/small><\/p>\n

Artist’s descriptive text:<\/em>
\nThe idea of the landart proposal was to experiment with the poetry of making visible the unseen \/ uncommonly seen occurences.<\/p>\n

To be able to \u201csee\u201d wind by day via the windmill kinetic movement.
\nTo be able to \u201csee\u201d wind by night via the lighted spinning cups.
\nTo be able to \u201csee a dense forest\u201d of \u201ctrees\u201d in a desert climate.
\nTo be able to \u201csee sand dunes\u201d on a relatively flat relief site.<\/p>\n

The landart attempts to \u201cde-materialise\u201d the dune to create possible event spaces during the day and night. During the day, light canvases can be creatively stretch across its lateral tie cables to form shades while during the night, the public will experience being clothed under a \u201cblanket of glittering stars.\u201d<\/p>\n

The \u201cForest of Wind\u201d LandArt is proposed to be located at Site2 Abu Dhabi. The site is able to accommodate up to 8 modules, each being able to be added in phases. Each module measures around 198x198m and is arranged linear along the water edge. Each module have a density range of
\n1089 to 4356 “trees”. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Wind speed as little as 3.8m\/s is able to charge the turbine. a wind speed of 8m\/s is able to produce 414w of energy on each 48v load of windmill \u201ctree\u201d. While the LED will only need 14w at nightfall. The rest of the 400w will be distributed to the grid.<\/p>\n

With each tree being able to produce up to 414w (from 8km\/s wind), each module will be capable of producing 1.8mw of energy. The maximum 8 modules in the site will be able to produce 14.4mw to support some 8,000 households while glittering beautifully on the site like dunes of stars.<\/p>\n

The mills of the \u201ctrees\u201d rotates easily on windy days to turn the Permenant Magnet Alternator (PMA) Dynamo located at the shaft. During the day, the goldish brass convex surface of the cups provide a glittering effect to the whole \u201cforest\u201d as they spin. During the night, the cups\u2019 concave surfaces containing low energy LED periodically \u201ccharges\u201d the highly bright industrial strength Super Phosphorescent Paint (SPP), thereby giving the \u201cstarry sparkles\u201d for the de-materialized dune. The already negligible energy spent on the LEDs is further reduced by the use of SPP.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The creative energy effiecient lighting combo of LED+ super phosphorescent paint works this way \u2013
\nSuper Phosphorescent Paint has an extremely bright glow in the dark paint. It is 5 times brighter than the popular green zinc-based glow in the dark products available in most department stores. Technically, it will continue to glow for days. After a 10 minute charge from 1000lx. It will have a glow of approximately 1000mcd\/m2 for the next 10min. Therefore, in working with a led by alternating every 10 minutes, the landart not only saves on energy but has a pleasant light \u201cchange\u201d display quality.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

PHASES + \u201cUPGRADABILITY\u201d
\n+ The 8 modules of Landart can be implemented in phases.
\n+ The Permenant Magnet Alternator inside accessible shaft for servicing and future \u201cupgrades\u201d of more efficient alternators.<\/p>\n
