The design employs continuously undulating vertical\/horizontal\/diagonal art forms which span low and high grounds. The simple forms are composed of linear elements made of lightweight fiberglass tubes with exterior photovoltiacs. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/landartgenerator.org\/blagi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/as3.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Each houses identical micro-wind turbine units attached at one end to capture wind and to produce power that is stored in batteries below ground.
