Roller Turbines
Using simple and inexpensive found objects such as envelopes, paint rollers, and plastic drinking straws, I constructed modest and whimsical studies on wind turbine technology to honor the DIY garage tinkerers who are finding ways to empower themselves. These odd pairings also illustrate the idea that resources may not be as important as resourcefulness. If we have designed our way into a situation, can we design our way out?
