The finished Floral Turbine!

Here are some photos of the finished prototype along with some details.

I had such fun bringing Rosies idea to life and I hope to see many Floral Turbines sitting on top of tower blocks to bring green energy and fresh smells to our cities in the not too distant future!

Turbine Blades and Flowers
Posted about Floral Turbine by Rosie

Next I made the turbine element around a circle so that it slides on and rotates around the horizontal tube at the top of the base. I was careful to make sure the length of the different blades on the turbine were the proportions of Rosies design. I added extra greenery to the centre of the blades then set about making lots of tiny paper and wire flowers from roses, to daisies to tulips to add to make them just like the beautiful design.

I got carried away and didn’t take many photos as I went!
