A long exposure photograph captures a highway at dusk with streaks of light from vehicle headlights and taillights. On the right, a field is dotted with numerous wind turbines, some with blurred blades indicating motion. Power lines are visible in the distance on the left. The sky transitions from a deep blue at the top to warm oranges and yellows near the horizon, illuminated by the setting sun.

We aim to generate green energy by placing specially designed wind mills by the side of the motorways to harvest the air movement of the passing by traffic as well as the solar energy. We have designed a combo product with integrated solar panels. It is able to generate green energy 24/7 by the air movement of the passing by traffic as well as the integrated solar panels at the top add extra energy to system during day time. The panels are designed in such a way that they help to rotate it rather than causing any hindrance. The turbines not only generate electricity but also absorb the hazardous particles in the environment. They aim to place multiples of these units on the side of highways to generate megawatts of energy.
