Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley has announced that four wind turbines will be erected on the roof of the Richard J. Daley Center. The machines, Aeroturbines, were invented by Bil Becker, a professor of industrial design at the University of Illinois at Chicago, and manufactured by Aerotecture International, Inc., based in Chicago. The turbines are silent, self-regulating, vibration-free, and safe for birds, according to the Department of Environment. Aerotecture is online at www.aerotecture.com.
