VIDEO: EWICON ‒ Bladeless Windmill

Mecanoo Architects designed the model EWICON (Electrostatic WIndenergy CONvertor) using technology developed by researchers Johan Smit and Dhiradj Djairam from the Delft University of Technology in a consortium with Wageningen UR and commercial companies in an economy-ecology-government partnership program context. A scale model of EWICON can be viewed in front of the faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science at Delft University of Technology.
