These billboards are working models that demonstrated how wind power, solar steam power, and time pieces work. For example, the wind turbine powered the batteries, which stored the power until the display read full, which kicked in the neon lights and then finally the light box that revealed the Discovery logo.

Yes I’ve seen them here up and running. Unfortunately the unrealistic detailing and lack of information doesn’t explain the fact that they are actually running on its own. Great idea all though. Unfortunately execution is often just as important.

"smells like"...these are only fleshed out comps of concepts...you're completely missing the point. they're billboards which will be produced in "3D"....jc..

Well then, why not submit real photographs when the billboards are actually produced?
I could even imagine wanting to watch a "making-of film" about these being put together...
