Does the WindCube® endanger birds?
The WindCube® is one of the most bird-friendly modes of generating wind energy. Birds often fly into large wind turbines because they do not see the blades in the air. Because the WindCube is different from traditional wind turbines, the birds are less likely to be injured as a result of: • High visibility of the WindCube’s blades: Because the WindCube itself is a stationary device, it is therefore more visible to birds flying, reducing the chance of birds flying into it. • Encasing of the WindCube’s blades: The WindCube’s blades themselves are protected by the shroud, therefore the birds cannot fly directly into the blades.
