I had an idea of a wind tree that can create wind but it is not man-made) in a fantasy world. Then I began to think/wonder of ways it could realistically work without any magic.
So thats where I'm stuck. Hope this clears up the confusion. ItsIt's like aan off category of the Anatomically Correct series Anatomically Correct Series (which is how I first found this site), but instead of fictional creatures, itsit's a tree.
Here's my thought process on how a wind tree could exist on Earth:
Why does it need to create wind? To clean itself of dust perhaps or scare predators away from eating it seeds. From what I learned from the answers, perpetual motion is out of question so maybe it uses water pressure which it can control and blow wind out of mini blowholes. I think the seeds will be some dandelion shape so benefit from the wind.
When will it blow? I very badly want it to be 24/7 but that does not sound possible. Wind tree seems inhabitable since taking inspiration from venus flytraps, there will be lots of tiny hairs or maybe just blocking the blowholes signals to blow it off.
Weaknesses: Fire? I originally imagined it to deflect fire thats dropping from the sky.
howHow does it looks: like a cactus tree?
