# Residential Green Generators Apartment-Friendly Greenerator Collects Solar and Wind Energy By Katie Cordrey | Published 2010-10-18 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apartment-friendly-greenerator References: [coroflot](http://www.coroflot.com/public/individual_file.asp?from_url=true&portfolio_id=4168599&individual_id=187695) Jonathan Globerson's concept design of an apartment-friendly Greenerator that collects solar and wind energy from apartment balconies is an exciting idea for personal power generation. The clever design uses [flexible photo-voltaic solar panels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/efficient-energy-harvesting) to harness the sun's energy and magnetic repulsion in place of bearings in the [wind generator](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grain-blanc). The apartment-friendly Greenerator provides micro-power generation that can help supply daily electrical needs. Globerson's invention is a practical way to encourage distributed power generation and to make positive environmental impact. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.5/10 - Popularity: 38% | Activity: 88% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Micro-power Generation:** The apartment-friendly Greenerator provides an innovative solution for micro-power generation, allowing individuals to generate their own electricity. - **Distributed Power Generation:** Globerson's concept design promotes distributed power generation, offering an alternative to centralized energy systems and encouraging self-sustainability. - **Flexible Solar Panels:** The innovative use of flexible photo-voltaic solar panels in the Greenerator design opens up opportunities for integration in various portable and small-scale power generation applications. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Renewable Energy:** The Greenerator concept aligns with the renewable energy industry by providing a scalable and apartment-friendly solution for on-site power generation. - **Sustainable Housing:** The Greenerator can disrupt the sustainable housing industry by offering residents a practical way to generate their own electricity and reduce their carbon footprint. - **Green Technology:** The concept of the Greenerator falls within the realm of green technology, providing an innovative solution for harnessing solar and wind energy in urban environments. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Portable Energy Generators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-energy-generator.md) - [Portable Wind Generators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Portable-Wind-Generator.md) - [Travel-Ready Wind Turbines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wind-turbine-generator.md) - [Portable Wind Turbine Generators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shine-20.md) - [Balcony-Friendly Solar Power Stations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anker-solar-bank-2-e1600-pro.md) - [Regenerative Cycling Equipment](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/energy-keeper.md) - [Accessible Eco Home Generators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anker-solix-f3800.md) - [Balcony Energy Storage Units](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/balcony-energy-storage-unit.md) - [Sustainable Portable Solar Generators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bluetti.md)
