EcoloBlue’s Forward Thinking Technology Could Be A Perfect Fit For Artificial Islands Projects Around the World Since 2007, EcoloBlue has been manufacturing atmospheric water generators (AWGs), machines that make water from the humidity in the air. Co-Owners, Wayne Ferreira and Henri-James Tieleman, have focused on generating water from the air using efficient mechanical processes. EcoloBlue’s [...]
A view of one of the submersible islands of the Menorah Islands Project. From above, the Menorah Islands Project complex is laid out in the shape of the ubiquitous candelabra that serves as a symbol of the state of Israel. However, at select points during the year, two submersible islands will emerge from [...]
While the final form of the Menorah Islands will certainly go through many permutations based on input from our upcoming feasibility studies, as well as input from the public, our initial vision includes a rather striking architectural feature at the center of each artificial island. The seven towers and two submersible islands of [...]
An overhead view of one the proposed artificial islands within the Menorah Islands Project One of the cornerstones of the Menorah Islands Project is our commitment to building artificial islands in a way that uses entirely green technologies.
