REUSE
Membranes and upper panel cables for shaping and tensioning the rotating sails. They are suitable for all wind speeds at startup and do not produce noise pollution
Struts and support cables for the tower structure. Modular and scalable, it is constructed in accordance with a deconstruction strategy, consisting of 6-meter modules. Mounted on screw piles, it is reversible and relocatable. Stabilized by a water collector, it is equipped with a gust damper and a rotation speed regulator
Flying masts for the horizontal axis of medium-power wind turbines (single-arm) with a minimum capacity of 60 kWh. Equipped with a gust damper and a rotation speed regulator.
Flying forks to brace the structure and tension it using lower panel cables.
They also serve as supports for garden lighting.
A lower membrane to "enclose" the base of the tower and provide a garden shelter.
Coating cables for "braided" shaping intended for uses such as planters, compost bins, etc.
