Individual units are designed to fit together in a honeycomb structure and can thus be tiled to fit entire exterior walls and roofs. Chen Liao-Hsun says the concept is, &#8220;to use three-dimensional wind fields to make up for the insufficiency of two-dimensional ones.&#8221; he estimates that each Wind Cube can generate about 21.6 kilowatt-hours of electricity per month, approximately 1\/15 the household usage of a family of four.<\/p>\n<p>There also exists the possibility for Wind Cube to be used in the honeycomb pattern structure as a free-standing fence, perhaps with overlapping honeycombs in parallel to provide structural stability. While an idea at the moment, there seems to be a lot of potential for this type of application. The pattern of wind movement around buildings may provide a great deal of energy that this type of micro-turbine would be able to harvest. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/landartgenerator.org\/blagi\/archives\/1521\/201-61984_mr_stork\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1523\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/landartgenerator.org\/blagi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/copy_1_wind_cube2.jpg\" alt=\"Chen Liao Hsun\" title=\"Chen Liao Hsun\" width=\"500\" height=\"213\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1523\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/landartgenerator.org\/blagi\/archives\/1521\/copy_1_wind_cube3\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1522\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/landartgenerator.org\/blagi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/copy_1_wind_cube3.jpg\" alt=\"Chen Liao Hsun\" title=\"Chen Liao Hsun\" width=\"500\" height=\"289\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1522\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><object width=\"500\" height=\"302\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/DIHYDTC_ZGM?version=3&amp;hl=en_US\"><\/param><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"><\/param><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\"><\/param><embed src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/DIHYDTC_ZGM?version=3&amp;hl=en_US\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"500\" height=\"302\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"><\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n<p>via <a href=\"http:\/\/www.designboom.com\/weblog\/cat\/16\/view\/16116\/chen-liao-hsun-wind-cube-modular-wind-power-system.html\">designboom<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/inhabitat.com\/wind-cube-a-design-for-a-personal-wind-farm-right-in-your-home\/\">inhabitat<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wind Cube is a modular wind power system designed by Chen Liao-Hsun for household use.
