Wind Capsule

The Wind Capsule concept imagines a future in which humans will live on the ocean, using various resources to feed their energy needs.

This concept was inspired by the designer’s experience of standing on reclaimed land in the Netherlands. It made him wonder if it is possible for humans to live at a great distance from land.

The Wind Capsule system for life on the water contains three parts: generator units, a collector, and a city on the ocean. The new lifestyle it describes is a sustainable living solution.

The generator units are placed in the ocean, and transform wind energy into electricity. The wind is captured by their fan blades, while cavities in their floating shells allow for the smooth passing of waves. The electricity generated is sent to the collector unit (a floating island), from where it is distributed to the ocean city.
