Bruco, Monolithic’s Airform factory, is now more energy-efficient than it has ever been! Reason: A silent wind generator installed atop Bruco not only captures the wind and makes electricity, but does it silently. This video, made with a camera equipped with a high-quality shotgun microphone, demonstrates the quiet. When outside, the microphone captures the sounds of both the wind and the freeway. But inside, all is quiet – no noise or vibrations produced by the wind generator. (Continued…)

Bruco the caterpillar – a.k.a. our Airform manufacturing facility – has been attracting curiosity seekers for decades. “What is it?” they ask. Now that we’ve installed a giant wind turbine on top of one of the caterpillar domes, the questions are sure to come fast and furious. Here are some answers. (Continued…)
