Wind turbines
- “It also provides a solution for two of the problems associated with traditional wind turbines: shadows that can stress herding animals and noise. Since the rotation is around a vertical axis, this turbine can continue to generate energy during strong wind when traditional turbines have to be shout down”.
Energytower is a new wind technology. In essence, Energytower is a controlled reproduction of a tornado inside a cylindrical tower.
Air hitting Energytower is led into it and accelerates as the tower’s inner radius decreases. Inside the tower a vertical axis three-blade rotor starts to rotate. The accelerated air increases pressure and temperature along the inner walls of the tower - the eye of tornado. The pressure gap creates a chimney effect in the tower which also adds the rotation of the rotor. The low pressure in the middle of the whirl enables a fast release of air from the tower whereby new air can be taken in.
About the technology
The vertical orientation of the turbine means that all heavy items such as mechanical parts, the generator and other electrical equipment can be placed at ground level. This makes the construction much lighter, and cheaper to maintain. The end results is energy production at competitive cost.
