Mobile WebSiteWind is how come? Here's what you can see occasionally: Wind Turbines.
Common horizontal shaft blade wind turbines have their disadvantages, but there is room for improvement. For example, the arrangement of a large number of wind turbines in a wind farm requires a relatively large safety distance, which means that
the number of wind turbines that can be installed on a fixed size floor is limited. In addition, the rotation of the blades is also a friend of nature Birds pose a danger.
A new fan, the Vortex, generates electricity without any visible fan blades. The principle of Vortex power generation is actually the problem that architects have always wanted to overcome: vorticity.
Vorticity is a fluid mechanics principle that causes air to vortex as it flows. In architecture and fluid mechanics, vorticity is the building's wind-resistant enemy; yet for Vortex this is the source of endless energy.
Vortex's power generation modules are located internally and vibrate in the body made of fiberglass and carbon fiber in the event of swirling air flow. Vibration in different directions can drive the generator set at the bottom of the fan to generate motion, which in turn converts kinetic energy into electrical energy. This is the principle of vorticity generator.
Vortex generator Another generator in the past - the vertical shaft generator (below) is different, the vertical axis generator is still using a straight blow of the wind, but the rotating shaft from the horizontal into a vertical.
In addition to its small footprint and low environmental impact, Vortex offers unlimited wind direction - a significant advantage over traditional horizontal axis wind turbines. In other words, if this technology is more widely used in the future, generators can be installed in any windy place, unlike the current wind farms, which require continuous winds from one direction for a year, In order to ensure adequate use efficiency and return on investment.
Vortex revealed that on the same area of the ground, Vortex installed capacity than conventional horizontal axis wind turbine doubled, which made up for the current Vortex wind energy utilization efficiency of 30% lower than the conventional disadvantage, and one Vortex fans cost only half the cost of conventional fans.
In general, Vortex's advantage is still more than the disadvantage. The company has now completed a $ 1 million financing, the first fan Vortex Mini will be completed within a year of research and development and optimization, mass production.
This kind of vortex fan is more environmentally friendly - more efficient use of land, money and wind energy, but also for birds more friendly.
