This document describes plans for an interactive urban kiosk that generates renewable energy and provides various functions to users. It has modules that use wind and solar power to charge batteries and power electrical outputs. Users can charge devices, access wifi, take photos, and control lights and music playback with their smartphone. The kiosk has a commercial transaction area and can adapt its shape based on user interactions. Diagrams show its energy generation capabilities and structural and technical details.

The top part of the object is the most import-
ant part because it is responsible for generat-
ing all the energy it needs for its own function-
alities.
With a small-scale wind turbine and four
modules of photovoltaic cells, the kiosk is
capable of converting renewable energy from
any scource and in any weather conditions
storing in its own batteries.
This opening module is a direct output of
electrical power and for that reason is the
most flexible and unpredictable module of all.
Since we can not predict the amount of
energy required all the extra energy produc-
tion is channeled to this module.
It is compound by tree electrical outputs and
one adverstising screen.
Like a normal device this object has a “switch”
dock to interact with the public where the lock
is a dock and the key is the smartphone.
This action allows the user to listening to their
music with the Kiosk’s sound system like an
urban Jukebox.
Is also the user to interact with the light inside
the Kiosk. by placing the smartphone on the
dock allows to light up the Kiosk’s Led strips
during the night time

This is the storefront for vendors and their
mechanics are different from the other parts.
They do not come out of the shape, they just
slide along the facade in order to visualize and
access the interior space that contains the
commercial program.
The Energy Charger can be used to charge
smartphones, tablets or electric bikes.
All electrical modules have an indicator to
warn the user of the energy level available in
the Kiosk. When it is about to end the Kiosk
shuts down the modules that are consuming
more energy than the system can produce.
The Interactive Screen incorporates a camera
for users to take photographs and provides
access to social networks, internet and city
map.
