Windation Energy Systems has developed a wind-catcher machine that was inspired by ancient buildings in Persia that used air currents and reservoirs of water to create a steady flow of air.

There’s a 8-by-8-foot frame around a 10-foot-high cylinder. Wind blows in the top and is directed to the bottom where the wind turns a turbine to make up to 5 kilowatts of electricity. A single unit wouldn’t generate enough power for an entire office building but could offset a significant portion, the company says.
