Tifanny wind turbine will provide Japan with energy for 50 years

Japanese engineer Atushi Shimizu has developed an innovative wind turbine that turns the destructive power of typhoons and hurricanes in energy. One Typhoon would be enough to provide electricity to Japan for 50 years.Installation, similar in shape to a machine for beating eggs, can withstand powerful tropical cyclone and receive from him a large amount of energy. According to the engineer Atushi Shimizu, one Typhoon could produce that amount of kinetic energy, which is equivalent to a half of all generated electricity in the world.





For Japan, the transition to alternative energy sources is crucial. Before the accident at Fukushima-1 in March 2011, the country relied on nuclear power, and nuclear power was 60% to ensure Japan's energy by 2100. After the devastating earthquake and tsunami, which killed 19,000 people, the leaks occurred at three nuclear power plants, and the plan had to be abandoned.





Japan has to import 84% energy. The turbines, which are becoming increasingly popular in Europe, the country is not caught. Almost all installations were affected by the typhoons. In these circumstances, green main resource of Japan is the sun.

"In Japan, more potential to generate wind energy, not solar," — says Shimizu. Designed by his startup Challenergy tifanny generator is subject to Magnus effect — a transverse force that causes a spinning object to deviate from a straight path. This effect provides a reliable control of the turbine blades.

Another feature of the installation is a comprehensive vertical axis, which allows the generator to withstand powerful gusts of wind.





In July 2015 engineer experienced their development. Its efficiency was 30%. For comparison, a typical wind turbine has efficiency of 40%, but it may not withstand the Typhoon. In July of this year, the prototype turbine was installed in Okinawa — can only experience it in terms of these natural disasters. The engineer intends to establish tifanny wind turbine at the National stadium being built for the Olympic games 2020 in Tokyo.

Wind energy worldwide is gaining momentum. In Britain build the largest marine wind farm of 300 generators with a capacity of 1800 megawatts, as well as the largest service maintenance of wind turbines. In the United States plan to develop a 7200 TWh wind energy per year. And Scotland now receives an average of 60% of energy from renewable sources. published
