Bladeless wind turbine that vibrates to generate power could save more than 500,000 birds killed each year by spinning blades, experts say
Traditional wind farms generate ‘green’ energy, but are a danger to wildlife
The Vortex Bladeless uses ‘vortex shedding,’ when air hits a solid object, to generate power
The current prototype is 10 feet tall and generates about 100 kilowatts
The Madrid-based company hope to scale up to a one-megawatt model
A Spanish company is developing a wind turbine that doesn’t require blades to generate energy.
Unlike typical wind turbines, which use the breeze to spin blades that in turn power a generator, the Vortex Bladeless turbine uses the movement caused by air hitting its 10-foot pylon to generate power.
