• Triton, the solar and wind powered eco-friendly buoy

  • triton6.jpgWater buoys now get greener with this interesting concept by designer Dr. Hakan Gursu. Sculpted out for Designnobis, the Triton buoy is an eco-friendly self sustained warning device that requires no grid connections to power up. By harvesting energy from the wind and the sun, the Triton powers on all of its warning signals efficiently. Winner of the prestigious Design Turkey Award, the Triton uses LEDs, solar panels and wind turbines and comes with GPRS, making it easier to locate by port authorities and ships alike.
