More on The Vortex Bladeless Wind Turbine. ・・・ This is a #repost from @oyla.science via @PhotoAroundApp Air might be the first one that comes to one’s mind when we think about the alternative energy sources. The mankind had used the wind power as a source of energy since ancient times. Modern wind generators use the same principles but - of course - are more technically equipped. Such power stations need the strong and stable wind, that’s why they are often built near the sea. The floating wind generators are among the new developments, they rise upward like kites, and can catch stable high-altitude winds. Of course, the blades require care and they are dangerous for birds and insects. Therefore, the engineers develop the new projects of bladeless turbines, like Vortex Bladeless from Spain. Vortex’s lightweight cylinder design has no gears or bearings. It is promised that it will generate electricity for 40 percent less than the cost of power from conventional wind turbines.
