The dam, which would be located over a gorge at Lake Lagoda in north-west Russia, includes a cup-shaped spinnaker sail, believed to be the first of its kind, which will generate renewable energy by funnelling the wind through an attached turbine. | The dam, which would be located over a gorge at Lake Lagoda in north-west Russia, includes a cup-shaped spinnaker sail, believed to be the first of its kind, which will generate renewable energy by funnelling the wind through an attached turbine. | ||
The spinnaker shape is similar to the mainsail of a yacht, and is thought to be particularly effective in capturing wind. | The spinnaker shape is similar to the mainsail of a yacht, and is thought to be particularly effective in capturing wind. | ||

- | If granted planning, the dam will be 25m high and boast a 75m span when it goes on site next year. The practice is also looking at applying for planning permission for a similar scheme at another gorge, further up the valley. | + | If granted planning, the dam will be 25m high and boast a 75m span when it goes on site next year.
