The world is constantly urbanizing, and the floors are getting higher and higher. Due to the convection of air, the height of the building will be subjected to extreme wind pressure, and it is often necessary to worry about the damage to the structure of the high building due to the shaking and resonance of the building. Therefore, wind digesters are designed to divert and reduce the huge wind pressure on the surface of tall buildings and utilize this natural wind energy to generate electricity for indoor use.
