The Generator Is Nothing Like A Fan, And Works Swaying From Side To Side

The Spanish startup Vortex Bladeless has innovated by creating a completely unusual wind energy generator. Called Vortex, the model is nothing like a fan as we are used to seeing, but it consists of a cylinder with no blades attached. The device works with horizontal sways as the wind passes through it. Vibrations are generated by this movement, initiating energy production.

Vortex Tests Reveal A Cheaper Energy Generation

According to Vortex itself, the first tests performed with the device revealed a 30% cheaper energy generation. This is because, to create energy from turbine generators with blades, the costs of installation and maintenance are higher than with the Vortex prototype.

Moreover, the technology used in the new generator is capable of taking advantage of locations where wind generation is lower. Meanwhile, conventional generators require a minimum speed for their blades to have enough movement and be able to generate energy.

Bladeless Wind Energy Generator Does Not Threaten Bird Life

The blade-less turbines of the device do not threaten the life of birds flying in the region, and they are also quieter, which leads to a reduction in noise pollution. Vortex has nicknamed its generator “bladeless wind power pole”, click here to see how it works! With the great advantage of flexibility, the device vibrates when exposed to wind, and as its rod sways, an electromagnetic field is formed. In addition, the startup has revealed that 100 pre-commercial prototypes, each 85 centimeters tall, are already being tested in different locations.

One of the biggest challenges engineering faces today is finding new technologies to meet energy needs in a clean, sustainable, and profitable way. The use of wind energy has been utilized worldwide as a solution to meet this demand, and it was with this in mind that Vortex created a wind generator with many more benefits than conventional ones.

The oldest tree in the world, alive since before the birth of Jesus Christ, is cut down in a scientific study and the case changes environmental preservation rules.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

An entire island in the Pacific wants to surround itself with a colossal barrier against the ocean to try to escape increasingly violent waves and not be swallowed by the sea in the coming decades.

After ten days orbiting the Moon, science confirms that the astronauts of the Artemis II mission return with altered bodies.

With 7.4 trillion tons of artificial snow pumped in 10 years, an extreme operation could stabilize the West Antarctic ice sheet and prevent a sea level rise of more than 3 meters, but it would require snow cannons, ocean water, and energy on an almost industrial scale at the end of the world.

Peru built a tunnel at an altitude of 4,738 meters cutting through the Andes Mountains, and the road leading to it reaches 4,818 meters, making it the highest paved road in the entire world.

BRICS is preparing a payment system inspired by the Brazilian PIX that will allow direct transactions between countries using national digital currencies without relying on the dollar or Western banks as intermediaries.

The SUS waiting list for surgeries has more people than the entire population of six countries.

Brazilians spend more hours in traffic each year than on vacation.

São Paulo and the Atacama are at the same latitude: what separates a metropolis of 22 million people from a desert is a forest 3,000 km away.

USP technology was used by NASA in Artemis II.

With 5.6 trillion tons of natural hydrogen beneath the Earth, 26 times the known oil and more energy than all the natural gas in the world, the new gold rush is already mobilizing Bill Gates, Amazon, and Petrobras.

U.S. researchers publish the first national map of natural hydrogen, placing 30 states on the radar and changing what was known about clean energy in the American underground.

Solar-powered ice factory in the Amazon that eliminated a 5-hour trip to Manaus, prevents the loss of up to two-thirds of the fish, and now ensures income for more than 30 riverside families.

Every time a river flows into the sea, an amount of energy equivalent to a 120-meter waterfall is silently wasted, but Japan has just inaugurated the world’s first power plant that captures this waste and transforms it into electricity 24 hours a day without sun, wind, or fuel.

Silicon Valley bets on a 100-hour battery that uses carbon and oxygen to store renewable energy for days and could turn a little-known chemical system into an alternative to critical metal batteries to tackle prolonged blackouts.
