The Netherlands, which previously implemented a solar cell project that could be installed on street asphalt, is now pioneering a project to transform windmills. According to the site Grist, the Dutch company 'Windvogel' has announced that it will build a new generation of windmills in 'Rotterdam' that will reach a height of 228 meters. All components of this windmill are made from green and environmentally friendly sources, and it will not only serve as an energy-producing turbine but also as a residential complex. The Smithsonian website describes this project: 'This massive structure will not only feature a wind turbine but will also have a part submerged in water, powered by water energy and rainwater, and will be equipped with solar cells and a biogas recycling system.' In the inner circular section of this building, 72 apartments and 160 hotel rooms will be constructed. In the outer ring, there will be 40 moving cabins that will resemble the famous London Eye. The partition walls in this building will be made of 'smart walls' that will display panoramic images and necessary information, including temperature. Restaurants and shops are also planned to be built within this large structure. The technology required for constructing this building is currently undergoing final stages. According to the Smithsonian, it will take several years for this technology to reach production. 'Dozan Biopel,' the architect of this building, states that if the wind turbine without blades is completed, the building could be finished by 2025.
