Vertical axis turbines.
This is the way I keep saying we
should build our wind turbines, then we wouldn't be burying them as landfill
after only 10-20 years. We should also use metal blades that could be recycled.
These 1000-year-old ancient Persian vertical-axis
windmills, standing in the arid landscape of Nashtifan, Iran; are not just
relics but are still operational. Crafted from natural materials like wood and
reeds, they harness the wind's power to grind grain, a testament to sustainable
engineering from a millennium ago.
Their enduring design is a marvel of early
technological innovation, reflecting a deep understanding of environment and
resourcefulness in using renewable energy long before the industrial age.
