Portable windmills to make generating wind energy more efficient

The main obstacle in wind energy being used as a sustainable source of energy has been the high space and financial requirements of setting up windmills. However, a concept recently designed, called the ‘Agro E. Sustentable’ might be just be the solution to these problems. The ‘Agro E. Sustentable’ is a portable wind generator. It has a trailer, which acts a storage device for the energy generated as well as a base when the generator is being used. Energy is generated by mounting the blades on a retractable tower. These blades are also foldable. When not in use, the tower, which is divided into four parts, can be retracted into the trailer by means of a chain and pulley mechanism.

Apart from providing portability and increasing efficiency, these windmills are made from large and durable parts which make this concept all the more conceivable.
