Startup from Tunisia Tyer Wind has developed an innovative Converter of wind energy, which is able to open new perspectives in the field of mechanics and energy. This achievement was made possible by biomimicry – engineering science, which borrows from nature and tested for millennia of technology.
As noted by the authors, the work of revolutionary wind turbine based on simulated movements of the wings "one of the most energy efficient of the birds" hummingbirds. To create it turned out after a careful and deep observation the "prototype" in the wild.
Instead of the traditional blades of the Wind turbine Tyer got two wings from carbon fiber, the shape of which corresponds to the natural counterpart. To follow the movement of the wings of a Hummingbird and manufactured on the basis of observations working model managed by 3D technology Aouinian kinematics.
Now start ready pre-production prototype of the wind turbine Machine TW2 Himilce power of 1 kW. The turbine was equipped with two "blades", each with a length of 1.6 m. the Minimum wind speed at which the machine is able to generate electricity to 3.8 m/s. more detailed specifications can be found from this document.
The Hassein Labeled (Hassine Labaied), partner and co-founder of Tyer Wind says this is the first case when a mechanical device successfully mimics the movement of the miniature birds. The video shows the experimental setup that is being tested in Tunisia.
With regard to the indicators of the efficiency of unique wind turbine, the sponsors note that these are still just preliminary tests, but on their basis we can talk about a fairly good efficiency.
Tyer Wind project is a private initiative that is not supported by any public research institutions and public companies. It is implemented with the financial support of 2 well-known business angels from Pakistan and Algeria. published
