# Graceful Energy Generators The 'Eddy GT' Wind Turbine is Eco-Exalted By Amelia Roblin | Published 2010-09-15 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eddy-gt References: [greenmuze](http://www.greenmuze.com/climate/energy/3026-eddy-gt-urban-turbine-.html) & [urbangreenenergy](http://www.urbangreenenergy.com/) As a solution to achieving more sustainable sources for [urban energy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/efficient-energy-harvesting), the 'Eddy GT' wind turbine is tailored to suit the needs of smoggy cities everywhere. Developed by [Urban Green Energy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/antelope-evtol), the 'Eddy GT' is a one-kilowatt wind turbine that that is as silent as they come. Designed to be perched atop buildings, the 'Eddy GT' has superior wind-harnessing capabilities as it catches gusts on its vertical rotating axis. Besides moving towards eco-friendly practices, this wind powerhouse is actually very attractive too. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.3/10 - Popularity: 68% | Activity: 53% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Sustainable Energy Solutions:** The 'Eddy GT' wind turbine offers a sustainable energy solution for urban areas, reducing reliance on fossil fuels. - **Vertical Wind Turbines:** The use of vertical rotating axis wind turbines like the 'Eddy GT' provides an innovative alternative to traditional horizontal turbines. - **Silent Turbine Technology:** The 'Eddy GT' wind turbine's silent operation opens up possibilities for incorporating wind energy into densely populated urban areas. ### Who This Affects Most - **Renewable Energy:** The renewable energy industry can benefit from the deployment of silent, urban-friendly wind turbines like the 'Eddy GT'. - **Architecture and Construction:** The architecture and construction industry can incorporate vertical wind turbines like the 'Eddy GT' into building designs, creating sustainable and aesthetically pleasing structures. - **Urban Planning:** Urban planners can integrate the 'Eddy GT' wind turbine into city infrastructure to help meet sustainability goals and reduce carbon emissions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Mast-Mounted Wind Generators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grain-blanc.md) - [Travel-Ready Wind Turbines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wind-turbine-generator.md) - [Honeycomb-Shaped Wind Turbines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bladeless-wind-turbine-design.md) - [Portable Wind Generators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Portable-Wind-Generator.md) - [Portable Wind Turbine Generators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shine-20.md) - [Single-Blade Offshore Wind Turbines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/singleblade-offshore-wind-turbine.md) - [Portable Energy Generators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-energy-generator.md) - [Turbine-Based Retreats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blademade-1.md) - [Wind Turbine Compact Houses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blademade.md)
