Today, we mostly use nuclear and fossil fuel sources to fill the energy needs. Day after day, it is becoming more serious problem we have to face along with poisonous wastes, deadly accidents and concerns about exhaust of natural resources. Future comes with both sustainability and environmental concerns. This is because there is a rising tendency to green power sources like solar and wind power plants. However, these environmentally friendly power plants also require power transmission lines to transmit the harnessed energy from plant to our homes. For this reason, products with cables will begin to give their places to self-feeding products which produce their own energy and not depend on power sockets.

Mebrure Oral, a Turkish industrial designer, has sought to address these problems by coming up with a novel concept that not only uses green energy, but also looks good. His creation, titled the Windtulip, uses a vertical axis turbine to trap wind which is then converted into electricity. The aesthetically appealing streetlight that looks like a tulip flower harnesses the wind’s power, which is transmitted to a transformer and batteries. The stored energy is then used at night to illuminate streets. LED lighting enable to work even in windless weather.
