By Matt Agorist The future of wind energy is here — and it’s bladeless! A Spanish company called Vortex Bladeless, has developed a revolutionary way to harness the power of the wind.
The system is called Vortex, and it drastically reduces the amount of inputs required by regular propeller-driven windmills.
Instead of capturing energy via the rotational motion of a turbine, the Vortex takes advantage of what’s known as vorticity, an aerodynamic effect that occurs when wind breaks against a solid structure (Kármán vortex street). The Vortex structure starts to oscillate and captures the energy that is produced.
Vorticity is a powerful effect which was first …read more
