NEWEN is an autonomous power unit design from Argentinean designer Francisco Tablado and this tall and stylish looking unit taps into green energy for all your power needs. NEWEN is aimed at providing power to temporary shelters and housing units, but as a design, we believe that it can be used for energy needs of existing permanent structures as well. Just get one of these for your home, put it in the lawn, get the connections done and you would be ready to get things running on clean energy.
The design of the NEWEN sees both a rotating pod and photovoltaic panels on top that will constantly tap into the alternate energy sources. At the base will be the battery which will store the generated power and distribute it on demand. NEWEN is probably an excellent way for energy generation when a community is struck by a disaster and is looking for temporary solutions before the power lines are back in place.
What separates NEWEN from the rest is its simple design, ergonomic form and the fact that it taps into both solar and wind power at the same time. Also coming with NEWEN will be six integrated modules for LED Lighting, nodes to charge electronic devices, speakers, WiFI repeaters, VHF Radio and even infra-red sensors for security.
The design of NEWEN allows it to be used in many places and even under harsh conditions. Cool and stylish design from the Argentine who seems to have designed the shelter in the above image inspired a bit by Maradona in that regard… but we will let that pass.
