The Korean designer Jihae Kim has engineered this efficient and eco-friendly 'Wind Heater,' a contraption that employs wind power for heating and cooking. Instead of burning down trees during cold winter nights, this invention offers a great alternative for sustainable living and respect for the land.
As a fully-integrated system, the 'Wind Heater' might be an attractive piece of technology for inhabitants of remote regions. This clever concept was shortlisted at the IIDA Awards competition for 2010, organized by Designboom and the Korean Metropolis Incheon.
