The start-up has developed a modular wind energy system that is built according to the Lego principle and can also be used on radio masts. The Austrian toll motorway operator ASFINAG is testing the turbines with the Berlin-based start-up MOEWA GmbH - a spin-off of the Technical University of Berlin. They hang from a maintenance carriage that can be rolled back and forth under the roadway. Drilling, doweling, screwing, laying cables over the abyss - the fitters know this, they laugh into the camera when taking a photo. ![]() ![]() They are professional industrial climbers who install eight mini-turbines at a height of 140 meters above ground.
