A turbine ventilator needs no electrical power. It is wind driven and is assured 24 x 7 ventilation at zero operating cost. A slightest wind draft induces outward airflow by centrifugal force. This results in negative pressure inside the 70cm diameter x 6m high alluminium pipe. Fresh ambient air from outside rushes in to maintain equilibrium.
This is an interactive work. People of any height are able to enter into the internal space of the pipe through the 40cm-wide vertical opening.
Once inside, the sensation of the wind will be experienced through the flow of wind currents created by a continuous cycle of ventilation.
