Hydra wind turbine

The collapsible wind turbine, laid out on a vertical axis, has the potential to create outputs of up to 80 watts of electricity. The turbine needs to be ultra strong to be able to handle the intense wind speeds often found in polar environments, and lightweight at the same time. To enable these requirements, the Hydra turbine is constructed from strong and lightweight materials such as titanium, stainless steel and carbon reinforced nylon. Brad Knewstubb (30/03)
