VOICED: Lorry-powered windmills could provide roadside energy

The video discusses a new concept where the slipstream from trucks on the highway between Paris and Lyon is used to power windmills. This innovative idea is being tested with a model near a service station. Although initial results are modest, improvements are planned to increase efficiency. The goal is to produce over 10 kilowatts per hour, enough to power roadside equipment. This approach could be more cost-effective than expanding traditional energy networks, especially in isolated areas. The local highways authority aims to implement several of these windmills in the future, contributing to green energy efforts.

What is the target energy production of the windmill, and what can it power?
