The turbine, which looks like the large wings of a majestic giant butterfly is made of a reticular and light stainless steel structure; its sinuous lines are optimized in order to receive the wind on one side and let it flow on the other, thus allowing a slow but vigorous and constant rotation that guarantees the production of pure electricity
Among the volcanoes of Lanzarote, a windmill-turbine combination of poetry and technology
Inspired by the island of volcanoes, the artist Vincent Leroy designs an elegant and smooth membrane as a propeller to be grafted onto the material base of an ancient mill, creating a new type of wind turbine
This mill, to which the artist wanted to give a second life after many years without a propeller and never seemed tired, appears to be a fantastic creation with an ancient massive body and futuristic large poetic wings, the Molinoptere. The result of Vincent Leroy's formal and technological research is a masterful interplay between history, technology and ecology; between past, present and future
