Bladeless wind turbines shake to generate electricity
Bladeless wind turbines shake to generate electricity
Farms dotted with the gigantic spinning blades of wind turbines have
become a standard sight on long-distance road trips, but what if there
was another way to capture energy from the wind? A startup out of Spain
is working on that very idea. The company's called Vortex Bladeless, and
its turbines look like stalks of asparagus poking out of the ground.
Instead of using the wind to rotate a blade, the company's pillars shake
back and forth from the vortices created by the movement of air around
the structure. Engineers look to avoid these forces when designing
buildings and other structures, but the Vortex turbine takes advantage
of this phenomenon to oscillate in the wind.
