Wind Farm Visitor Center Maale Gilboa
AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE :
Contributor and pilot AirWorks used a drone to create this fascinating aerial view of a highly innovative renewable energy complex in northern Israel. It's located in the Mountains of Gelboe, a range which runs through a portion of the country's Northern District. Giant wind power turbines are used to generate electricity to pump water upwards into a reservoir, effectively storing the energy harvested from the wind for later use. It's one of the larger installations of its type in the world.
