This is the new developed innovation of futuristic alternative energy. Future energy should be earth friendly and safe for human of course. In University of Liverpool scientists developed new technology that would like to be the up graded level of wind turbine. Common wind turbine uses common blades to create motion that later changed into electricity, here in Liverpool scientist tried different blades on their wind turbine. They use solar panels as part of the blades on the wind turbine. So that there will be not only wind but also solar power that will be changed into electricity. Great stuff but doesn’t mean there is no problem faced by the scientists in developing this innovative tool.
