3D printer are a technology with short ton of likely applications , we just have to dream them up . Polish 3D printer maker Omni3D decided to dream big with its twist power task . The team hope to create an easily portable twist turbine that can pump out up to 300 watts of vim . Not enough major power to keep your home run , but more than enough to power laptop computer , smartphones , and other appliance .
The labor , calledAirEnergy 3D(AE3D ) , could be discarded as another pie - in - the - sky substitute vigour solution that will never descend to pass . It ’s definitely a hard sell to developed land who subsist on more honest and regretfully dirtier methods of energy . But AirEnergy three-D begins to make sense when you look at far - flung region where electricity is scarce . The project is also assailable root so that would - be users can tinker with invention to undecomposed suit their needs and with every $ 4,175 ( £ 2,500 ) pledged , a pre - printed AE3D kit will be donated to one energy - starved Ithiel Town in Africa .
Omni3D mentions on its Kickstarter page that they ’ve successfully developed a working prototype , but they postulate crowdfunding cash to make the designs scalable , easy to assemble , and sluttish to ship . An early raspberry starter kit will set you back almost $ 500 ( and even more to embark outside the UK ) . However , the team hope to make future production models be around $ 350 .
Despite its relatively garish price , compared to other wind zip methods , run across tidy sum of AE3D turbine strapped to roofs or sitting on patios is an unbelievable scenario , but the end to make a 3-D - printed project that has potentially more value than the sum of its parts — with that one , they might be on to something .
