Super impressive wall of wind turbines yield 2,200 kW of quiet energy


Urban landscapes cannot install giant horizontal turbines to tap into wind power. A sleeker, eye-pleasing turbine like Airiva's solves this problem.

The fence consists of vertical wind turbines, is modular, and, most importantly, is pleasing to the eye, making it more likely to be adopted in hotels, corporate buildings, and residential units. To achieve maximum energy gain and efficiency, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) build bigger turbines every year for large installations. With the team at Airiva, a company he co-founded with energy industry veteran Jeff Stone, Doucet put 16 designs of vertical turbine blades through the motions to arrive at three final versions that made it to the wind tunnel testing.
