Pittsburgh Power Flowers
The Power Flower is a 12' wind driven kinetic sculpture and is the first in an evolving series of energy producing public art designs.
The Power Flower collects sun and wind energy with a wind turbine, driven by spinning flower petals, and photo voltaic solar film leaf surfaces.
A rainwater collector serves as base and ballast. The sculpture can provide DC power for laptops, phones or even water pump features for garden applications.
The sculpture also powers LED lighting for night time illumination. A weather-proof controller maintains safe power levels and timed programmable lighting.
The sculpture is transportable and sets up easily for events and exhibitions.
Our sculptures are created for use by city art festivals, botanical associations, schools and museums for either temporary or permanent site specific installations.
In addition Art Energy Design offers various educational workshops specifically designed for elementary, middle and high school students.
The Power Flower is the first of it's kind and was born on March 15, 2008.
