The Energy Ball: A Breeze Of Fresh Air

Swedish energy design company Home Energy recently announced a new prototype that could potentially change the way the world looks at wind in the years to come. Using a unique, proprietary design, the Energy Ball utilizes the Venturi Effect in combination with a design that allows air to flow inside of the device itself, as opposed to simply going through it, to improve the look, efficiency, and simplicity of a tool that will be instrumental in the world’s shift to more sustainable and renewable forms of energy.

The Energy Ball’s design integrates a power generator within the structure itself - allowing wind to generate power on both sides of the spherical object and, hopefully, improve the device’s power output.

Home Energy claims that even its smallest Energy Ball can provide enough energy to contribute 15% of the average [Swedish] household’s energy usage - making it a worthwhile addition for those in search of solutions to their energy woes. As prices rise and usage remains essentially the same, people are far more open to the idea of putting an “Energy Ball” in their front yard tomorrow than ever before.
