A WIND WHEEL
Dutch Windmill Might Revolutionize Wind Energy Generation
February 16, 2015 (ZME Science)
“The Dutch Windwheel…[would generate wind energy silently and] capture rainwater, recycle tap water, produce biogas – and most importantly, [host 72 apartments, 160 hotel rooms, commercial outlets and a restaurant]. It will also have some rotating cabins providing a brilliant view of the Dutch city of Rotterdam…The key here is a bladeless wind turbine with no moving parts that produces electricity using charged water droplets…The technology, called EWICON (Electrostatic Wind Energy Converter) creates energy through the displacement of charged particles by the wind in the opposite direction of an electrical field. Each tube features several electrodes and nozzles which release positively-charge water into the air, through [‘electrospraying’] process…developed by Delft University of Technology researchers…[I]t can come in any shape and size, it is silent and has very little wear and tear (due to no rotating parts)…[No figures regarding energy generation and recycling [are available but] construction is set…” click here for more
