Bladeless Wind Power Generation

Bladeless Wind Power Generation uses a radically new approach to capturing wind energy. The device captures the energy of vorticity, an aerodynamic effect that has plagued structural engineers and architects for ages (vortex shedding effect). As the wind bypasses a fixed structure, it’s flow changes and generates a cyclical pattern of vortices. Once these forces are strong enough, the fixed structure starts oscillating. Instead of avoiding these aerodynamic instabilities our design maximizes the resulting oscillation and captures that energy. Naturally, the design of such device is completely different from a traditional turbine. Instead of the usual tower, nacelle and blades, the device has a fixed mast, a power generator and a hollow, lightweight and semi-rigid fiberglass cylinder on top. This puts the technology at the very low range of capital intensity for such projects, it also makes it highly competitive not only against generations of alternative or renewable energy, but even compared to conventional technologies.
