Wind Roads

Wind Roads explores the innovative concept of transforming roads into renewable energy sources using road-integrated wind turbines. This book examines the potential of harnessing the energy from moving vehicles to generate clean energy, addressing the growing demand for sustainable solutions. Roads could do more than connect destinations; they could generate power. The book provides a comprehensive look at the technology, environmental impact, and economic feasibility of this approach.

The book examines the core technology, assessing the environmental impact and exploring the economic feasibility of road-integrated wind turbines. It begins with an overview of the current energy landscape, transitions into the physics and engineering principles, and then delves into case studies and pilot projects. For instance, small-scale turbines embedded in roadways could capture energy from passing cars, reducing carbon emissions. However, the book also addresses potential drawbacks like noise pollution and effects on wildlife.

Wind Roads offers a unique perspective by framing roads as potential energy-generating assets. The information presented in the book can be applied in several practical ways. Urban planners can evaluate the potential of road-integrated wind turbines for reducing carbon emissions, engineers can apply the technical data and design principles to develop and optimize road-integrated turbine systems, and policymakers can utilize the economic analysis to inform decisions about investments in renewable energy infrastructure.
