Giant 80-meter wind turbine manufactured by Aeris Energy for Nordex — one of the largest wind turbine manufacturers in the world — embarks from the Port of Pecém on its way to Europe
The Pecém port complex, in Ceará, celebrates the record shipment of a giant 80,1 meter wind turbine for the German Nordex — one of the largest manufacturers of wind energy turbines in the world!
The size of the wind blade (or propeller) manufactured by Aeris Energy for Nordex is impressive. The shipment of the first unit of this giant — the largest wind turbine ever produced in the southern hemisphere — involved a specialized operation. The more than 80 meters in length required the involvement of several professionals, from manufacturing to transport to the Port of Pecém, in Ceará.
Vortex bladeless turbines could revolutionize wind farms and change the world of renewable energy
Vortex Bladeless, a technology start-up based in Spain, is developing wind turbines that don't need blades (or propellers). One of the objectives is to be able to use these turbines in urban and residential spaces, where the impact of ecological parks would be too great. Similar to a “giant straw”, according to its creators, it came to change the world of renewable energy.
Bladeless turbines (or propellers) could be the future of wind energy and renewable energy. Vortex Bladeless claims that the turbine is not a danger to bird migration patterns or wildlife, especially if used in urban environments. Additionally, he claims that the noise created would be at a frequency practically undetectable to humans.
