Wind turbine without blades: a more economical method for the production of electricity from wind Bashny.Net

The Spanish startup has launched a project alternative wind turbines, the design of which does not imply the presence of the blades. Wind energy is obtained through the oscillations of the high post. When it starts to vibrate, the generator based on the turbine converts the mechanical motion into electricity.

Turbine Vortex have no moving parts and actuators, so they can last longer. Besides, the simple design reduces installation costs of the generator by approximately half, compared with traditional wind turbines.

Innovative turbines produce about 30% less energy compared to conventional wind turbines. Although it should be noted that due to the design of such turbines on the same square you can install much more wind turbines.

It is worth noting that currently the company is working on several sizes of turbines. The "mini version" is a turbine with a height of about 12 meters. For commercial use it will be ready next year. Larger, industrial version of the turbines is scheduled to begin producing in 2018.published
