    Can musical instruments serve other purposes aside from generating sounds? Well, using the right technology, instruments like wind harps can be used to generate electrical energy. But has any country been able to lay its hands on this technology and generate a substantial amount of energy? This article discusses everything Greece is doing to achieve this. Has Greece started installing wind harps on the street to generate electrical energy? Many social media posts have claimed that Greece has started installing wind harps on the streets to generate both sound and electrical energy. While this might sound real due to the images seen on the internet, it is not true. However, this idea has been proposed for a long time; it has yet to be put into practice. Is this idea really feasible? Whether this idea can be brought to life remains to be known. The idea is based on the ability to generate electricity that can power streetlights using wind energy. But since Greece generates electricity using wind turbines, this idea might be a big deal in the future. What was the proposed idea? The initial idea is to install sculptural harps on the street and generate power with them. These harps will be designed with tension strings that vibrate when struck by the wind, creating melodies that change depending on the winds direction and speed. But beyond the sounds, the wind harps would be vertical-axis turbines that can convert air into electricity. This electrical energy would then be used to power streetlights, LEDs, and public charging ports. It was also proposed that these harps would be made with corrosion-resistant materials and would require just a little maintenance so they can operate throughout the year. But since this hasnt been installed, its difficult to know how feasible it can be. Can sound waves be converted into electrical energy? Technically, sound waves can be used to generate electrical energy. However, the amount of electrical energy generated from sound waves is usually always little compared to the energy from wind or light. How is electricity generated from sound waves? When sound travels through air, pressure waves are created that cause objects to vibrate. If these waves hit a transducer, the vibrations can be converted into electrical energy. So the higher the sound, the more electricity is generated. This principle is what is applied in piezoelectric materials, like in microphones. But the electricity isnt always enough to power a home or bigger machines, just like this powerful dark photovoltaic revolutionizing Europe. Greece generates close to 5.5 GW from the wind. Although Greece is yet to harness electrical energy using wind harps, it generates a reasonable amount of energy from the wind. Today, about 20% of the total energy generated in Greece is from the wind. The country has been able to take advantage of strong winds from regions like the Aegean islands and convert them into a useful amount of energy. As of mid-2025, the country had already generated 5.5 GW. This number is only expected to rise as more turbines will be installed, and newer projects will be tested. Being able to generate energy from the wind and other sources has reduced the need to burn fossil fuels and decreased carbon emissions into the atmosphere. Creating a carbon-free environment aligns with the countrys goals. Therefore, if the country can get its hands on the technology that would generate electricity from wind harps, it would take advantage of it. Generating electricity from wind harps installed in the street is a dream hoping to be achieved one day. The physics behind this mechanism is feasible; however, only a small amount of energy can be tapped. However, testing out this technology isnt ruled out in the future, similar to this revolutionary Chinese power-generating device.
