The Dutch Windwheel

The Dutch Windwheel is the sustainable future icon. It is the most innovative 'windmill’ in the world and the showcase for Dutch Clean Technology.


It is the dynamic showcase for Dutch Clean Technology and provides a continuous platform to demonstrate technical and technological innovations.One of the innovations that can be developed with the Dutch Windwheel is the EWICON ( Electrostatic WInd energy CONverter) technology. This pioneering wind turbine converts wind energy with a framework of steel tubes into electricity without moving mechanical parts. Result: less wear, lower maintenance costs and no noise or moving shadow. This makes the Dutch Windwheel the most innovative 'windmill' in the world.

 


The outer ring houses 40 cabins that run on rails. Visitors can enjoy an unprecedented view of Rotterdam and the surrounding area from this giant coaster.
