The efficiency of wind energy production on a relatively small scale can be enhanced without relying on conventional turbine ...

A new bladeless wind-driven generator prototype, called the Vortex, is claimed to produce electricity with very few moving parts, on a very small footprint, and in almost complete silence. It's ...

"A 'sweet spot' where power generation is maximized against structural strength." Researchers make groundbreaking discovery ...

And, as a bonus, the bladeless turbines are silent. Vortex is working on a few different sizes; its “Mini,” a 41-foot model, should be ready for commercialization next year, while a larger ...

Vortex Bladeless wind turbines can be used on their own or in conjunction with solar panels. During the day and when there isn't much wind, solar panels could provide energy.

A drastically cheaper wind turbine. Vortex claims that its design can reduce manufacturing costs by 53%, cut maintenance costs by 80%, and would represent a 40% reduction in both the carbon ...

The startup is called Vortex Bladeless, much like the new type of wind turbine. It recently made the cut on Norway’s top ten most promising startups, earning development support from state ...

Vortex Bladeless presented the company’s design for a new wind energy technology. One of the key characteristics of this system is the reduction of mechanical elements that can be worn by friction.

Spanish engineer David Yáñez, co-founder of the startup Vortex Bladeless, has designed a new oscillating turbine to shake back and fourth instead of spinning. At first glance, it might be hard ...

Vortex is a new kind of wind turbine being developed without any blades. Credit: Vortex Bladeless. We have been utilizing wind turbines since the late 1880s; however, the technology has yet to ...

And while each Vortex turbine is also 30 percent less efficient at capturing energy, wind farms can double the number of turbines that occupy a given area if they go bladeless.

University of Glasgow researchers are working to unlock the potential of bladeless wind power. For the first time, computer simulations of bladeless wind turbines (BWTs) have pinpointed the most ...
