It may look like some sort of Transformer, but this concept from Pope Design is actually a mobile wind generator. Unlike traditional wind turbines, which are stationary, the Mobile Wind Turbine can be moved around in order to be wherever the wind is the strongest.
Essentially, the concept is simply a turbine on the back of a large truck. It features a hydraulic system that is able to erect the turbine when the truck is in position. The creators say that the mobile turbine could potentially be used to help power temporary settlements, such as camps or military bases. A smaller version could also be used to power schools and small businesses, as a way to utilize wind power without the high costs associated with a permanent wind turbine installation.
