The sun laid eyes on you in spring,
\nWashed you with its color to shine bright.
\nThe wind then whispers in your ear,
\nAnd prepared you for a magical flight.
\nThat\u2019s why you glow and shine,
\nAnd are first but never late,
\nAs you swiftly \ufb02y in the wind,
\nSearching for your future and fate.

Dandelion Journey<\/em> by Riccardo Tronci, Yu Feng, Mihelaimu Akram, and Tang Jieyu
Technology: organic photovotaic (OPV), kinetic energy harvesting from wind (MOS2 monolayer piezoelectric), high-altitude wind power (HAWP) kite
Annual Capacity: 800 MWh

The force of the wind allows a dandelion and its seeds or \u201cachenes\u201d to magically fly in the air, spreading life and seeking a new future. This artwork translates the steps of this journey for visitors to Masdar City who will come to better understand the power of nature and the necessity for change. Masdar in this way becomes a city born from the wind. <\/p>\n

Located as a gateway to the city, the park is covered by an installation of twenty giant Dandelions. As the wind blows, these structures appear to break up into eighty flying components\u2014achenes gliding playfully in the breeze as they search for their future and their fate. The journey ends with forty planted achenes that find their place on the ground to bring new life to Masdar City and to spread awareness about the force of nature throughout the UAE and the world.<\/p>\n

As visitors walk through the park, the installation demonstrates how natural energy can be captured and used in diverse ways. The semi-transparent Dandelions<\/em> provide shading for the park, while generating electricity with organic photovoltaic (OPV) technology. As the prevailing winds blow through the park, the achenes\u2014designed as a high-altitude wind power (HAWP) kite with helium assist\u2014move to a higher position, providing dynamic shadows and renewable electricity. Additional wind energy is harvested using piezoelectric monolayer MOS2 material that converts bending pressure into electricity.<\/p>\n

Opaque ground elements further protect visitors from the sun and allow for a variety of activities in the park, such as swinging seats and hammocks, to simulate the experience of flying with the Dandelions<\/em>.<\/p>\n

At night, the appearance of Dandelion Journey<\/em> is transformed by LED lights with which visitors can interact through an activated input at the base of each flower. As visitors blow onto the sensor\u2014with the same child-like joy that comes from blowing on a dandelion in a field\u2014a part of the Dandelion<\/em> gently disappears in the darkness, while the flying achenes, once hidden in the dark sky, become bright. <\/p>\n
