During their undertaking in September 2013 they carried mobile wind generators, producing permanently electricity. That way generated and in special batteries accumulated wind energy indicates the artistic gain of the undertaking. This self generated energy has been taken back to Germany to operate two washing machines, laundering the expedition-clothes of the artists.
