Fold-out energy tower for festivals is ready for practical use

As a sustainable alternative, TU/e researchers and 9 companies have developed a 21-meter high fold-out tower with solar collectors and a wind turbine. Today, the GEM-tower was fully erected on the TU/e campus for the first time, ahead of the first practical test that will take place next week during Pukkelpop.
