Wind to Watt: Modular Wind Turbine for Accessible Renewable Energy

architecture-design · 2026-06-14

Fabien Brun's Wind to Watt is a modular wind turbine designed to make wind energy accessible to all, even in challenging environments. The system can be assembled in under three hours without specialized skills, requires no concrete or complex construction, and adapts to any surface on land or sea. It produces no noise and has minimal visual impact. With power ranges from 300 W to 10 kW and beyond, it suits residential, agricultural, office, and industrial applications. The turbine generates electricity continuously, even at night, and can integrate with solar panels to ensure energy continuity. Wind to Watt targets off-grid areas in Africa, India, and other isolated regions for basic needs like lighting, water supply, and device charging. A prototype is installed in Tarascon, France, on a windy plot provided by a farmer. The project is supported by a crowdfunding campaign on Ulule, extended until June 30, aiming to create a wind energy laboratory. Future steps include pilot implementations with agricultural and off-grid operations, industrial partnerships, and local licensing models to replace diesel generators and accelerate energy transition.
