System Design - Creating An Organic Sustainable Design
Alternative energy is a must to sustain our future. Wind energy is a vital part of that future
New Age Wind Generation
You have traveled around and seen the windmill type generators that dot the countryside. That is old school. Introducing two new concepts in wind generators.
No. 1 EAWT systems
Watch this ten second video and the difference will be obvious.
No more ugly windmills towering into the air. These are aesthetically pleasing and can be put in areas where you could not put the windmill type. They generate wind at slower speeds (as low as 3 MPH). It generates energy at higher speeds (200 MPH). It is not harmful to wildlife. (The cage is protected so birds or other wildlife cannot get to it. It has less moving parts. (lower maintenance). Easy to transport and assemble. All the interior space is usable (battery storage etc.) The benifit list goes on and on
No. 2 Bladeless Wind Technology
This technology is still in the experimental stages but the trials have been promising
A Short Explanation
Vortex Bladeless is a vortex induced vibration resonant wind generator. It harnesses wind energy from a phenomenon of vorticity called Vortex Shedding. Basically, bladeless technology consists of a cylinder fixed vertically with an elastic rod. The cylinder oscillates on a wind range, which then generates electricity through an alternator system. In other words, it is a wind turbine which is not actually a turbine. For more information on this cutting edge technology Follow This Link
