Bladeless, wobbling wind turbines to begin tests in Europe – RenewEconomy
A Spanish company is testing the viability of small-scale oscillating wind columns to act as distributed energy generators alongside rooftop solar.
Spanish wind energy technology that resembles a miniature turbine tower, minus the blades, and which generates energy by “wobbling” in the wind, instead of spinning, is preparing to undergo beta testing in Europe.
The oscillating wind towers were developed by Madrid-based company Vortex Bladeless as part of an EU-funded project to devise low-cost, low-maintenance and low-noise alternatives to wind turbines.
