Omnidirectional wind turbine claims first in James Dyson Awards

The video explains the design and function of a wind turbine developed by A-Team from Lancaster University, inspired by NASA's Tumbleweed technology. The turbine, designed for urban environments, features a spherical shape with vents that utilize Bernoulli's Principle to rotate and generate electricity, regardless of wind direction.
