00:00This is an invention power companies don't want you to know about.
00:02It's called the Aeroleaf, invented by a French company called New World Wind.
00:07What looks like an ordinary tree is actually 36 wind turbines in disguise.
00:11With just a light breeze, they spin independently and can capture wind from any direction.
00:16The best part? They don't need strong winds.
00:18As soon as the breeze hits about 5 miles per hour, they can start generating electricity.
00:23That makes them perfect for city installations.
00:25Each leaf can produce around 300 watts of power, and when you bundle dozens of them into a full wind tree,
00:32the total output reaches several kilowatts, enough to cover the daily needs of a small building.
00:38Unlike traditional giant wind turbines, this system has no huge spinning blades and no loud noise,
00:44and it blends right into the urban landscape.
00:47Even smarter, the Aeroleaf can be combined with solar panels.
00:50So during the day it runs on the sun and at night it switches to the wind.
00:54A true 24-7 power source.
00:57So would you want one of these trees powering your neighborhood?
