The Green Future

Wave energy harnesses the movement of ocean waves to generate electricity. As waves move, they push and pull floating or submerged devices, converting kinetic energy into mechanical energy. This motion drives a turbine or a hydraulic system, which then produces electricity.

Hey LEGO fans! First of all, a huge THANK YOU for your support on our Green Future project! Your enthusiasm for renewable energy and LEGO creativity is truly inspiring. 🙌

Now, we want to hear from YOU! 💡

💭 What can we add or improve in the design?

Are there any details, functions, or structural changes that you’d love to see? Maybe a way to make the build more interactive or an addition that would make it even more exciting?

⚡ Which alternative energy source should we showcase next?

Right now, the model features solar, wind, and wave energy, but there are many other ways to generate clean power! Should we explore:

🔋 Geothermal Energy? (Using heat from the Earth)

💨 Hydroelectric Power? (Dams and water flow)

🌿 Bioenergy? (Using organic materials to generate power)

.. others?

Drop your ideas in the comments, we’d love to hear your thoughts! Let’s build a greener future together! 💚♻️

The Green Future has just reached 1,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas! This is an incredible milestone, and I want to sincerely thank each and every one of you who voted, shared, and supported this project.

This journey started with a simple idea: to showcase the power of renewable energy through LEGO. Seeing so many people resonate with this vision and help bring it to life is truly inspiring. Every vote brings us one step closer to turning Green Future into a real LEGO set.

There’s still a long way to go, but with this amazing support, I believe we can make it!!

Thank you all

Imagine waking up in a place where everything around you runs on clean, sustainable energy. No pollution, no fossil fuels—just a perfect balance of nature and technology. Welcome to the Green Village, a futuristic community powered entirely by renewable energy sources! Let’s take a tour through a typical day in this eco-friendly world.

As the sun rises over the Green Village, solar panels on rooftops begin absorbing sunlight, converting it into electricity. Homes, schools, and businesses start their day using energy straight from the sun. Even the public charging stationsget a boost, topping up electric bikes and vehicles while their owners enjoy breakfast.

Meanwhile, smart energy storage in the central battery ensures that every house gets exactly the power it needs, reducing waste and maximizing efficiency.

By midday, the wind begins to pick up, and the village’s wind turbines start spinning. While the solar panels continue generating energy, the wind turbines take some of the load off, ensuring a steady supply of clean electricity.

Down by the water, the wave energy converter is also at work. Every movement of the ocean is captured and transformed into usable power, providing extra electricity to the central battery. This ensures the village never runs out of energy, even when the weather changes.

Around town, people go about their day:

🚗 Electric cars and buses transport residents without producing emissions.

🏡 Smart homes adjust their energy use automatically, ensuring nothing is wasted.

🌳 Green spaces and urban gardens thrive, supported by rainwater collection and solar-powered irrigation systems.

As the sun sets, the solar panels slow down, but the village never goes dark. The energy collected throughout the day is stored in the central battery, ready to be used at night.

Streetlights powered by stored energy illuminate the roads, and homes stay warm with eco-friendly heating systems. Even the public park remains active, with LED lights running on 100% clean energy, allowing kids to play and families to gather under a sky full of stars.

By combining multiple renewable energy sources—solar, wind, and wave energy—the Green Village is completely self-sufficient. Every part of the system works together, proving that a world powered by clean energy is not just possible—it’s already happening!

Would you like to live in a place like this? Support Green Future and help bring this vision to LEGO fans everywhere! 🌿⚡🏡

Yesterday, Green Future was selected as a Staff Pick on LEGO Ideas, and I couldn’t be more grateful.

Seeing my project highlighted by the LEGO Ideas team was an incredible honor. It means that Green Future stood out not just for its concept but also for its creativity, presentation, and impact. Having the chance to share a vision of sustainability through LEGO bricks and see it recognized in this way is truly special.

Being a Staff Pick also brought more visibility to the project, and I’ve seen incredible support from the community. Every vote, comment, and share brings this idea closer to reality, and I truly appreciate each one of you who took the time to check it out.

THANK YOU ALL!

The Green Future LEGO set is more than just a fun build—it’s an engaging educational tool designed to teach students about renewable energy, sustainability, and eco-friendly technology in a hands-on way.

🔋 STEM Learning in Action

Students can explore how solar panels, wind turbines, and wave generators produce clean energy and how a battery storage system distributes power to homes and electric vehicles. This brings real-world science and engineering concepts to life in an interactive and engaging format.

🏡 Understanding Sustainable Living

The set demonstrates how a self-sufficient eco-village can operate using 100% renewable energy, reducing carbon footprints and promoting a greener future. It encourages discussions about climate change, energy conservation, and sustainable urban planning.

⚡ Encouraging Creativity & Problem-Solving

Students can modify and expand the set, experimenting with different ways to optimize energy use and efficiency. It fosters critical thinking, teamwork, and innovation, making it a great tool for classroom projects, science fairs, and group activities.

🌍 Perfect for Schools & Educational Programs

This LEGO set fits perfectly into science, technology, engineering, and environmental studies curricula, providing a tangible and exciting way to teach sustainability concepts. Whether used in classrooms, STEM clubs, or environmental workshops, it helps inspire the next generation of eco-conscious innovators! 💚♻️

The Sustainable Village is designed to be energy-efficient and eco-friendly, using 100% renewable energy:

☀️ Solar Panels absorb sunlight to generate clean electricity.

💨 Wind Turbines convert wind power into sustainable energy.

🌊 Wave Generators transform ocean waves into usable power.

All energy is stored in a central battery 🔋, which distributes power to homes, businesses, and electric vehicles 🚗⚡. The village also features green spaces, smart recycling, and water conservation to reduce waste and promote a cleaner future.

🌍💚 A step towards a greener tomorrow! ♻️

A Giga Battery is a large-scale energy storage system that stores electricity produced from renewable sources like:

☀️ Solar Panels – Convert sunlight into direct current (DC) electricity using photovoltaic cells.

💨 Wind Turbines – Use wind to spin blades connected to a generator, producing electricity.

🌊 Wave Converters – Capture the kinetic energy of ocean waves to generate power.

The electricity from these sources is converted into alternating current (AC) for transmission, then back into DC for storage in the battery. ⚡️

Inside the battery, lithium-ion cells store energy through chemical reactions. When power is needed, the stored energy is discharged, converted back to AC, and distributed to power homes 🏡, electric vehicles 🚗, and infrastructure 🏙️.

This seamless cycle ensures a constant supply of clean energy, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and making a sustainable future possible. 🌍✨
