The Tesla car company is the cornerstone of Musk's business empire and has suffered considerably since the entrepreneur dove into politics.
Swedish energy producer and supplier Vattenfall has teamed up with Dutch architecture firm Superuse to develop an innovative concept for recycling end-of-life wind turbine nacelles into eco-friendly tiny houses.
While some parts, such as steel towers and blades, are now partially reused, the nacelles – the top of the turbine that houses its mechanical and electrical components – are difficult to recycle. A first prototype, called Nestle, has already been assembled, featuring 36sq m of living space with a modular living area, a mezzanine sleeping area, a kitchen and a bathroom.
The prototype was built using a nacelle that had been in operation for 20 years at a height of around 100m at the Gols wind farm in Austria. Its dimensions are approximately 4m wide, 10m long and 3m high. The interior furnishings are partly made from recycled materials, including a table made from a wind turbine blade.
