These tulip wind turbines are colourfully constructed in the style of the flower’s petals, in contrast to standard wind turbines, which have enormous rotating metal blades that frequently make loud clanking noises.
They can be installed anywhere, be placed in clusters, and don’t cause danger to birds or other wildlife, unlike traditional wind turbines.
The area of land needed is much smaller and when there is wind, these low-cost turbines are more effective at generating energy than solar power.
The turbines have not found their way to India yet, but Mr Mahindra’s tweet shows that there are cheaper, safer, more impactful innovations being created all the time, that can have global impacts!
