New World Wind has designed a generator to look like a real tree inspired by nature to encourage sustainability in urban environments. It is a renewable wind energy company that creates micro wind turbines that can be paired with solar panels. It takes advantage of urban settings to produce electricity through a large number of microturbines.
About New World Wind
How they Work:
- Takes the wind at 360°
- Is able to adapt and capture the weakest and turbulent winds
- The leaf rotates and does not generate any noise because it does not have a belt or gears
- Generates electricity and transfers the electricity produced into the grid
Mission Statement
New World Wind draws inspiration from nature to offer local, customizable solutions to provide an elegant, powerful and sustainable electrical service.
The Importance of New World Wind
There is a push for renewable energy all around the world; however, there are many issues with capturing lower wind speeds when larger wind turbines are meant for much faster velocities. This product can be placed virtually anywhere in the world and near or on top of any buildings to allow for less space to be taken up by the product. Not only does it provide energy, it provides a more aesthetically pleasing environment where humans can interact with the manmade and natural environment to strengthen their support and education of safe, sustainable communities. Lastly, their ability to reach into different countries showcases their product to be a global solution.
Advantages
- Can resist storms and last about 25 years.
- Partners with MyTree Plants 10 trees in a forest of a person’s choice for the purchase of a Wind Tree.

Major Competitor
Devitech – ENLIL is the first vertical smart wind turbine designed to harvest both the energy from the natural wind, as well as that created by passing vehicles.
Cost of New World Wind Products
The pricing is in terms of the euro. Both the bush and wind tree are fixed prices for their designs. However, the modular shafts tend to vary in price because a consumer can choose between having 3 to 5 shafts on the tree. As someone increases the number of shafts, it will increase the amount of petals or solar panels on the tree causing the price to increase. Additionally, the hybrid design allows for more energy to be produced as there would be the combined use of wind and solar energy devices.
